Oil impregnation provides the MCap SUPREME EVO Oil with further increased presence and dynamics.
The MCap® SUPREME EVO combines the excellent impulse playback of the EVOLUTION winding technology with the unsurpassed holographic three-dimensionality of the SUPREME winding technology in a capacitor which is comparably cost-effective due to its aluminium metallisation. After running through our latest and greatest winding process, the capacitors are potted by hand into aluminium tubes to minimise microphony. The asymmetrical leads make it possible to assemble it in a classic, horizontal style or vertical; the shorter lead also indicates the capacitor’s outer foil. Thanks to its Oil impregnation, the MCap® SUPREME EVO Oil offers further increased presence and dynamics.
Film Capacitors Polypropylene (PP) is used as the dielectric in all our film capacitors. As a capacitor film PP is globally the No.1. It is a partially crystalline hydrocarbon that reliably fulfils the highest standards of safety in use, pulse handling capability, AC voltage proofness and dielectric strength. The extreme temperature and frequency stability of PP’s ultra-low ESR and capacity value is absolutely unique. This is added to by fantastic mechanical features such as the very equal film thickness for the highest precision in production or the high elasticity and thermal plasticity for ultra stable and vibration-cushioned capacitor winding. Of course, in the past decades we have regularly conducted comparative listening tests with various alternatives (paper, PTFE, polyester, PEN and polycarbonate). Although these materials were – technically and in terms of sound - equal or even superior in some individual aspects, the overall experience was always nicest and the enjoyment of the music the greatest with PP film capacitors*.
Metallised capacitors (MKP) are wound using films with a vacuum-metalised metal layer. This modern structure is more compact, more reliable and more value-for-money than film/foil capacitors and also possesses outstanding self-healing properties (i.e. the metal coat evaporates around damaged spots in the dielectric, thus insulating them).
MCap® SUPREME EVO are the perfect liaison of the two aforementioned Mundorf MKP special structures and were specially developed for and tailored towards the heightened requirements and increased opportunities of the latest generation of loudspeaker chassis. In addition to increased effectiveness, richness of detail and transmission range, these chassis are characterised above all by a previously unknown synthesis of explosive dynamics and distortion-free silkiness. Our new top class fulfils the high standards by combining the stimulatingly authentic verve with the outstandingly three-dimensional spaciousness of EVO and SUPREME in a virtuoso manner to create brilliant, richly faceted, emotionally captivating musicality and pure listening pleasure.
Oil impregnation of metallised PP film capacitors in vacuo is a particular specialty of our company and was used for the first time with MCap® SUPREME Silver.Oil in 2002. In this process, even the smallest air bubbles are squeezed out of the capacitor winding and even the most subtle of hollow spaces are filled and softened with oil. Both electrical and mechanical losses in the capacitor due to vibration are thus reduced to a minimum. Mundorf oil capacitors are characterized by their extremely sophisticated and highly dynamic detail and are superior to their respective dry counterpart in presence, speed and precision.
Aluminium is the standard and benchmark in the construction of capacitors, due to its having the highest conductivity of all non-precious metals with respect to weight and its outstanding price/performance ratio. Aluminium MKPs are characterised by richly detailed, lively and harmonious music playback. It is simply indispensable for the manufacture of aluminium electrolytic capacitors on whose anode electrode the dielectric Al2O3 is formed (also called anodic oxidation).
