Sombody Help! Capacitors for DR250
Sombody Help! Capacitors for DR250
Finding 250v 20uf where I am is a hell. The closest i have come is 250v 15uf. Will this pass for the compressing driver filter? What would the side effects be if any. I'm desperate to complete the wiring by this evening.

Re: Sombody Help! Capacitors for DR250
Are you able to get two 10uF caps, instead? Or one 15uF and one 5 uF?

where's your location
There is a very thin line between fail and success. It is very thin so, why are you scared???

I live in Ghana in West Africa. I was told by the vendor that he has the 10uf. How do I use that?

Connect them in parallel.
In build order:
O12 with no tweeter.
3 x WedgeHorns.
2 x Jack 10 without tweeters.
2 x DR250.
2 x 16" T39
1 x Tuba 24
2 x SLA Pro (sort of...)

Do you know how to connect them in parallel???
This is parallel And this is series get a good clean solder on them.

Re: Sombody Help! Capacitors for DR250
I have the 20uf capacitor wired in series to my compression drives. I hear this spike in the compression driver when I switch on the amplifier to my Otop12 Jarrays. What could this be, and is it normal?

Re: Sombody Help! Capacitors for DR250
You'll still hear the turn on thump of the amplifier, but the capacitor filters out much of the low frequency content, so it results in more of a high frequency pop. Most newer amplifiers mute the output until the amp stabilizes during power up.
