What is the best for your speaker and crossover applications MKP or MKT capacitors?

1. MKP: MKP has high withstand voltage starting point, small lead out loss, small internal temperature rise, negative capacity temperature coefficient, excellent flame retardant performance. It is used in high voltage and high frequency pulse circuit, S-correction and reverse stroke waveform in TV and display, electronic rectifying absorption and SCR rectifying circuit in lighting circuit.

2. MKT: non polarity, high insulation impedance, excellent frequency characteristics (wide frequency response), and small dielectric loss. Thin film capacitors are widely used in analog circuits. Especially in the part of signal cross connection, it is necessary to use capacitors with good frequency characteristics and very low dielectric loss, so as to ensure that the signal will not have too much distortion during transmission.

It can be seen from the above that the frequency characteristics of MKP should be better than that of MKT. All film capacitors are enough for audio coupling, and high-frequency electrolysis of industrial products is not bad, but capacitors are the components that have the greatest impact on timbre. Replacing a pair of coupling capacitors is enough to change the sound trend of the whole machine. MKT is called polyester capacitor in China, Because of its low price and good high-frequency characteristics, many domestic machines are used, and the timbre is bright, hard and dry. Compared with MKT, the timbre of MKP is soft, transparent and delicate. Its listening feeling is similar to that of some audio special electrolysis. BP audio electrolysis is more used in coupling, and MKP is only used in small capacity occasions.

Conclusion: WEET WMF MKP Precise Audio Capacitor 6.8uF +/-5% 250VDC is the bet alternative for your speaker and crossover applications.
