The Alumen Z-Cap (pure aluminum foil capacitor) was especially designed for the tweeter and mid-section of crossovers for passive hi-fi speakers.
The improved transparency and performance of this pure aluminum foil capacitor is on the same high level as our Super MKP Silver & Superior Z-Cap, but with a slightly softer tonal presence and less brightness / sheene / glare in comparison.
The Alumen Z-Cap will offer a more “neutral” presentation in the overall sound in certain crossover designs, and by “neutral” we refer to the focus will be shifted from what in some systems can be a somewhat overemphasized brightness when using a Super MKP capacitor, being replaced with a more even balance between the depth of the midrange and the presence of the tweeter.
