Electrolytic capacitors — buying guide

Choosing capacitors for an audio project

Capacitor value and type affect how a circuit behaves. In passive speaker crossovers, the specified capacitance works with the driver impedance and the rest of the network. Select replacements to match the design rather than choosing by physical size alone.

What to check before buying

  • Match capacitance and required tolerance.
  • Check voltage rating and whether a non-polarised part is required.
  • Allow space for the body, leads and mounting method.
