NB Audio - Metallized Polypropylene Film Capacitor - 5% Tolerance

Capacitors – proof that the snake oil doesn’t stop at the speaker terminals.

Like speaker cables, capacitors are often wrapped up in buzzwords, exotic names, and inflated price tags. In reality, their job is simple: block certain frequencies, pass others. What actually matters is using the right material and keeping tolerances tight so the values are accurate and the resulting response, predictable and consistent.

Our 5% polypropylene film capacitors are a reliable, no-nonsense choice for crossover design. Polypropylene is the standard material for audio crossovers because it offers low losses, excellent stability, and consistent performance across the audible range.

The 5% tolerance range is ideal for most crossover builds, keeping components accurate without unnecessary cost. It’s the perfect balance of precision and practicality, giving DIYers and designers predictable results without breaking the bank.

Values are available from 0.1µF up to 100µF, covering everything from fine-tuning tweeter circuits through to midrange and woofer networks.
