Standard Z-cap
Superior Z-cap
Silver Z-cap

Our new Z-cap series have been blind tested by a number of serious audiophiles, and this is their opinion:

Jantzen Audio - Standard Caps are fast, smooth, detailed and less grainy compared to similar competitor Caps on the world market.

Jantzen Audio - Superior Caps are absolutely high-end components, delivering a natural, almost holographic soundstage. Even the finest nuances can be heard.

Jantzen Audio - Primus Silver Cap is a phenomenon: it has as a sonic base all the good characteristics of the Z - Superior Cap, but with some fantastic additional benefits - it sounds absolutely natural, nearly without audible coloration to the music signal, delivering an authentic soundstage. Besides, it is super smooth, without any harsh additions to the sound and the tonal balance is absolutely neutral. Sonically, it behaves more like a fine piece of wire than a capacitor. A truly outstanding audio part!

The Superior Z-cap and Silver Z-cap - from Jantzen Audio, Denmark  are my favourite;
open, without compression in any frequency range, nice acoustic feel, especially very natural sounding. Highly recommended!

Product prescription for JANTZEN  Z-cap STANDARD.

Our Standard capacitor is an axial-type made from metallized polypropylene, especially manufactured for audio application.

The materials we use are chosen for the best sonically results in its price class.  Even standard caps are made to provide lowest possibly microphonic effect.

The capacitors are available in a wide range of capacitance values with low tolerance.

The finish is a flame-retardant tape wrap.

Finally, a capacitor at the state of the art in its price class!

All JANTZEN   Z-CAPS  are  LEAD  FREE  and  RoHS  COMPLIANT.

Technical Specifications:

Film:  metallized polypropylene, special winding techniques

Voltage rating:  400 VDC       200 VAC

Tolerance:        max. 5%,      typically 3%

Loss ang. tan   =  0.0002      for 1kHz / 1 uF



Product prescription for JANTZEN  Z-cap SUPERIOR  and  JANTZEN  Z-cap SILVER:

Our Superior and Silver  Z-Cap Capasitors are an axial type made of metallized polypropylene, especially manufactured for audio purposes.

 
The materials we use,  were chosen for the best sonically results in this price class.
 
We use a special machine to wind all our capacitors, so that the capasitors become a very tight reel.  This minimizes the inner vibration and keeps microphonic effects as low as possible.
 
The capacitors are available in a wide range of capacitance values with low tolerance.
 
The Superior and Silver caps are all protected against high humidity.
 
Finally,  both capacitors are state of art in their price class!
 
NB!  All our Superior and Silver Z-caps will show the true picture immediately,  so they do not need any burn in time.

Technical info and specifications for  Z-cap Superior and Z-cap Silver:

All our Superior Caps have high grade copper lead wire to secure the excellent qualtity of these caps.

All our Silver Caps have pure silver lead wire to secure the extreme high quality of these caps.

1. Dielectric: polypropylene
2. Dielectric strength: 1200/800VDC
3. Tolerance: 1% - 2%.
4. Loss angle tan = 0.00002 to 1K
5. Loss angle tan = 0.00001 to 10K
6. All our Jantzen products are  LEAD  FREE.

We have succeeded to minimize the inner inductance and to produce a fast sounding capacitor via our skilled technique.

The capacitor windings are interleaved,  so the inductances effectively cancel each other out.

these two windings are connected in series. This means,  it takes two  2uF windings to make a single 1uF capacitor.

This is equal to produce one full 4uF capacity using conventional technology.

 

Cross Cap
MKT Cap
Our MKP capacitors, which we call Cross Cap has got the best sonic quality and the best electrical
peculiarity.

It is made of one of the best foils in the world produced by Tervakoski Company in Finland.
This capacitor do not make any unpleasant distortion on sound and do not "colour" the sound.
It´s quality is long lasting. Tolerance about 5%.
