AudioCapX Capacitors

The PPMFX series of the AudioCapX reduces typical capacitor loss factors with a patented design that winds capacitors coaxially one upon the other, into a single, self-bypassed unit. Since each section is in parallel, the inductance of the overall capacitor is reduced by the number of sections used; typically, 10. Inductance characteristics never exceed those of a piece of lead wire the same length as the capacitor’s body; measured ESR values are 5-10 times lower than conventional designs. The PPMFX AudioCapX is recommended for lower current applications. With its overall reduction of parasitics, this series is ideal for use wherever low ESR, low DF, high resonant frequency, high performance, and small size are important, and wherever metalized capacitors are in use. In loudspeaker applications these capacitors exhibit a balanced, neutral, and open sound.

The PPFX film and foil AudioCapX series reduces typical capacitor loss factors with a patented design that winds capacitors coaxially one upon the other, into a single, self-bypassed unit. Since each section is in parallel, the inductance of the overall capacitor is reduced by the number of sections used; typically, 10. Inductance characteristics never exceed those of a piece of lead wire the same length as the capacitor’s body; measured ESR values are 5-10 times lower than conventional designs. Dielectric absorption is very low, making the PPFX desirable in high-speed circuits. In its overall reduction of parasitics, this series resembles the PPFXS in measured performance, and tolerates higher temperatures than the RTX. Have the lowest ESR available and are lighter in weight and lower in cost than the RTX or PPFXS. Highly accurate, stable performance. Ideal for use in all high-current applications and wherever low ESR, ESL, and DF are important and wherever a fine film and foil capacitor is required. In loudspeaker applications these capacitors exhibit upper midrange presence and fast transients.

The PPFXS AudioCapX series reduces typical capacitor loss factors with a patented design that winds capacitors coaxially one upon the other, into a single, self-bypassed unit. Since each section is in parallel, the inductance of the overall capacitor is reduced by the number of sections used; typically, 10. Inductance characteristics never exceed those of a piece of lead wire the same length as the capacitor’s body; measured ESR values are 5-10 times lower than conventional designs. Dielectric absorption is very low, making the PPFXS desirable in high-speed circuits. They have similar characteristics to RTX, but with extended temperature range. In loudspeaker applications these capacitors are articulate, expressive and provide high frequency detail.

The RTX AudioCapX series reduces typical capacitor loss factors with a patented design that winds capacitors coaxially one upon the other, into a single, self-bypassed unit. Since each section is in parallel, the inductance of the overall capacitor is reduced by the number of sections used; typically, 10. Inductance, resonance, dissipation factor (DF) and equivalent series resistance (ESR) are reduced significantly. Dielectric absorption is extremely low. The RTX series is ideal for use in high-current, high frequency, low-heat applications and wherever very low DA, ESR, and DF are important. In loudspeaker applications these capacitors present lower mid-range warmth and soft overtones.
