Notice: Studio Sound Electronics will be closed from
Saturday May 25 through Sunday June 2, 2013. No orders or
inquiries will be taken during this time. We will
reopen for business on Monday June 3, 2012. We will still be open for
business and accepting orders until 11:00pm EDT on Friday May 24.

Please Note! We sell and ship to the United
States only. Includes Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S.
territories such as Guam, US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, and
military APO and FPO addresses.
When replacing a capacitor in an existing printed circuit crossover board, order the same capacitance value (in uF - microfarads) as the original. Our Audiophiler capacitors are rated at a maximum of 400 volts, which offers significant margin over typical voltages found in audio speaker circuits.
If you wish to create a basic first order crossover for a horn or tweeter using a single capacitor, use the following table to determine your crossover frequency, based on the impedance of the horn/tweeter, and the capacitance of the crossover capacitor. (Crossover frequencies have been rounded off).
