[NAMM] Cedist MusiCap Capacitors

See all NAMM Show 2011 news items »

CE Distribution, LLC has been chosen as the distributor for MusiCap Capacitors. The MusiCap film-and-foil capacitors (formerly Hovland MusiCaps) are made in the USA by UpTone Audio and are distinguishable by their new red, white, and blue colors.

MusiCaps are designed to provide an improvement in clarity, focus and dynamics when used in critical new designs, as an upgrade to existing tube or solid-state components, or in loudspeaker crossovers.

MusiCap Film + Foil Capacitors for Electronics and Instruments

MusiCaps are constructed using separate layers of foil and polypropylene films, rather than the vapor deposited, metallized film used by most other manufacturers. Film-plus-foil construction requires more costly materials and result in MusiCaps being approximately 100% larger than typical metallized-film capacitors.

Leads are stranded, 22 gauge silver-plated copper with Teflon insulation.

MusiCap Film + Foil Capacitors for Loudspeakers

Speaker MusiCaps, with their thicker leads (ultra-fine strand, 15 gauge, silver-plated copper leads with polyethylene insulation), are intended for crossover networks.
