Arcotronics MKP-C4G 600VDC – 5% tolerance

Technical Specifications: Self-healing metallised polypropylene snubber capacitor intended for use in power semiconductor circuits to suppress or attenuate undesired voltage peaks e.g. electronic ballasts and motor applications.

Sound: The Arcotronics cap is a modest sounding capacitor, a little on the quiet side concerning dynamics. I quite like the midrange quality especially with percussion music. Drums, etc. had a nice natural timbre. There seems to be a focus on the midrange, the treble is slightly rolled off. Spatiality is a little compromised resulting in a slightly distant and compact image. Overall detail is slightly better than a standard Audyn Cap for example but doesn’t compete with an Amp Ohm or Mundorf Supreme. A good MKP for basic filter applications.

Verdict: 7
