How to choose the right capacitor in the audio circuit?

Acoustic circuits usually include capacitors such as filtering, coupling, bypassing, and frequency division. How to use various types of capacitors more effectively in the circuit has a greater impact on the improvement of sound quality.

Coupling capacitor

The capacity of the coupling capacitor is generally between 0.1μF - 10μF, and the sound quality of the capacitor with less loss of mica, polypropylene, ceramics, etc. is better. The main brands are:

1, Germany WIMA capacitor: characterized by fast speed, low loss, sound quality performance is natural balance, the sound is cold, suitable for a variety of listening requirements. WIMA capacitors are more varieties, preferably Black Box, followed by MKP, MKS, and now the market is mostly disassembled, the price is not expensive. The other is the German ERO capacitor, which has similar characteristics to WIMA.

2, France Solen capacitor: the tone is rich and feminine, full of music. Too hot equipment is suitable for use with SOLEN tonic, the most outstanding performance is the loss angle tgδ is particularly low, worthy of the world's ace polypropylene capacitor!

3, RIFA (Australia Sweden) capacitor: This capacitor is most suitable for the complement frequency divider, the penetration of high frequency is very strong.

4, the Netherlands Thomson MKP capacitor: sound quality performance of natural balance, medium and high frequency is more abundant. Closer to the WIMA capacitor.
Preamplifier, crossover, etc.

Capacitors used in preamplifiers, audio controllers, and electronic crossovers have capacities between 100pF and 0.1μF; mica and styrene capacitors should be used.

Speaker frequency division LC network generally uses a large capacitance between 1μF and 10μF. At present, MKP, MKT and CBB capacitors are used in high-end frequency dividers. Capacitors used in LC networks have a large capacity. Metallic plastic films or non-polar electrolytic capacitors should be used. Inorganic electrolytic capacitors, such as non-etched, can achieve excellent sound quality.

Filter capacitor

Since the capacitor for filtering is large after rectification, electrolytic capacitors must be used. When the filter capacitor is used in the preamplifier, the capacity is about 1000μF. When used in a power amplifier, the value should be 10000μF or more.

When the power supply filter circuit is directly supplied to the amplifier, the larger the capacity, the better the sound quality. However, a large capacity capacitor will cause the impedance to rise from around 10 kHz. At this time, several small capacitors should be connected in parallel to form a large capacitor. At the same time, several thin film capacitors should be connected in parallel as high frequency compensation. In addition to the large capacitor, the rise of the high frequency impedance is suppressed. The parallel connection of the filter circuit capacitors is as follows:
