WEET What is The Function of Capacitors in Car Audio - Reduce the Distortion and Power Distribution

Capacitor is the simplest frequency division filter in car audio.

What is the function of WEET Audio capacitors? We have learned from high school that one of the functions of capacitors is to pass high frequency resistance to low frequency. 

That is to say, let the high-frequency signal go to the high-frequency loudspeaker, and filter out the low-frequency signal.

There are two benefits to this:

One is to reduce the distortion of loudspeaker output. Because the frequency response of the tweeter determines that it is only effective for high-frequency signals, but not for low-frequency signals.

 If there is no such filter capacitor, the low-frequency signals will be sent to the high-frequency speakers, and the high-frequency speakers will produce distortion to the low-frequency signals.

The second is power distribution. Generally speaking, the treble horn is smaller and can not bear more power, while most of the power of audio signal is at low frequency (the vibration amplitude is large at low frequency). 

Without this filter capacitor, all the signals go into the high pitched loudspeaker, which may not be able to bear and burn out.


The capacitors have numbers of kinds, such as MKP, MKS, MKT, MKC and PET, but MKP is the best,


The temperature intensity of MKP is higher than that of MKS, but its temperature stability is slightly worse than that of MKS. 

The biggest disadvantage of MKS is poor heat resistance, the limit is only 75 ℃, while MKP is 100 ℃.
