ALC10S & ALN20S – Audio Electrolytic
Overview - ALC10S Series
KEMET's ALC10S Series of capacitors features improvements in general construction of the capacitors to achieve better results in audio, where fidelity of the waveshape is very important. Great attention has been paid to the construction details that can affect performance such as foil type, its connections and mechanical construction. Details of capacitance and case sizes are available in KEMET's slit foil capacitor range.
KEMET has produced the ALC10S slit foil capacitors specifically for audio applications. Its patented design eliminates circulating currents in the aluminium foils. This spurious current flow on the capacitor plates is known to occur but not apparent in most applications.
Overview - ALC10S Series
KEMET's ALN20S series of capacitors is a new generation T-Network Capacitor (TNC). The TNC is manufactured by KEMET in Portugal. In a normal capacitor unwanted resistance and inductance force the input and output together electrically, making its unwanted characteristics very critical for performance
KEMET's ALN20S capacitors are a unique T-Network Capacitor (TNC) designed specifically for audio applications. The main advantage of the TNC lies in its ability to reduce the effects of unwanted resistance and inductance placing the signal closer to the pure capacitance of the component.
