APPLICATIONS for auricaps
Leads
The auricaps can be placed at various locations in the audio equipment
and they are:
- Signal path applications: the black lead is "in" and
the red lead is "out."
- Power supplies: the black lead should be connected
to ground and the red lead to the + or - voltage.
- Loudspeaker crossovers: the red lead should
be connected toward the + terminal on the drive unit.
Bypassing
Do not use bypass capacitors in the signal path. A single capacitor
for DC blocking/AC coupling creates a simple path with one time
constant. The signal quality will be compromised if a bypass
or multiple bypass capacitors are added to a signal path capacitor.
Bypass capacitors were used in the past to bypass low quality
film capacitors or electrolytic capacitors. The bypass was the
lesser of two evils.
With the advent of better quality film capacitors
the need for a bypass capacitor was eliminated. Bypass capacitors
create multiple signal paths with multiple time constants. These
time constants are very short but they can still be heard as
a smear or overall loss of focus.
Always bypass power supply capacitors. This maintains a low source
impedance to the power supply over a wide bandwidth. If budget
and space permit it is good to use multiple value power supply
bypass capacitors with the smallest value being installed directly
at the active device. (Tube or transistor.)
Matching
Audience will provide 1% matched pairs when it is requested for
a charge fee per matched pair. The nominal tolerance is
10%. However, production tolerance is usually within 5%.
Matching will result in no audible benefit except in critical
equalization circuits such as the RIAA equalization in a phonograph
preamplifier. There is a common misconception that tolerance
is somehow related to a capacitor's quality. When selecting capacitors
for coupling, bypass or crossover networks there will be no audible
benefit. However if you still want your Auricaps matched we will
be happy to do so. |
