Obbligato caps or Jantzen Z Cap Superior for Mirage M1 Crossover?
Im re-capping the crossovers in my Mirage M1 speakers, was curious if anyone has used either of the Jantzen Z Cap Superior or the Obbligato Gold Caps. I was planning on using one of these for the tweeters and possibly the midranges, and Mundorf mkp or Solen PB Series for the rest of the caps. Your thoughts are appreciated.
Also if anyone is familiar with looking at circuit boards would you mind taking a look at my circuit board help me determine which cap feeds the tweeters. THANKS TO ALL WHO HELP ME--

idahifi, You need to be a member to open the pdf file. From what I see on your picture, the 225k 100vDC (yellow lettering),4X3.3uf 250v (pink lettering), 1.5uf 250v+4uf 200v (blacking lettering) are for the tweeters, The 10uf 100v + 47uf 100v (red letters) are for woofers, the rest of the cap are for mid drivers, Hope this help |
I looked at the diy M1 crossover and the traces look some what different than mine. Also the values listed are also appear to be different. For example there is a row of radial caps starting with one 10uf, two 8 uf's and two 6.8 uf's. In the DIY crossover the values of those are different. I am wondering if this is not the same as mine. |
Does anyone know of higher end caps that are a little smaller. The four 3,3 caps that are in a four in a row configuration are 10mm wide and 25mm long (these being the caps to replace). The mundorfs, obbligattos or the jantzens are kinda big like 30-60mm long and 17-25mm wide. If not I wonder if I can do some creative maneuvering to get those bigger caps on the board. |
You can use a
PCB Universal Board
to mount those caps and use some PCB standoff attach it to the crossover board, then secure everything with zip-ties. https://www.amazon.com/Mudder-Pieces-Prototype-Universal-Multiple/dp/B01ER06KXE/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&a... https://www.amazon.com/HVAZI-210pcs-Standoff-Stainless-Assortment/dp/B01LW4A34E/ref=pd_sim_328_5?_en... |
