MLytic HC High Current Power Cap

The MLytic HC High Current Power Cap are high-current power supply capacitors for applications in which energy must not merely be present, but must be available without dips and without delay. These capacitors were originally developed for high-power applications in railway technology and consistently refined by us for audio. The goal is clear: the power supply should remain stable even under extreme load steps, so that the amplifier stage can operate in a controlled manner and on a very solid foundation at all times.

A central feature is the internal contacting: a patented process makes it possible to achieve a very low ESR and minimal residual inductance. In addition, the capacitors are prepared for mounting on a heatsink to ensure thermal stability and continuous-load capability in practice.

Technical Properties

Electrotechnical Properties

Very Low ESR

Minimizes voltage drops during load steps and supports maximum pulse current delivery.

Minimal Residual Inductance (Very Low ESL)

Keeps the impedance low even with fast current edges – energy arrives where it is needed.

Designed for Very High Continuous Currents

Dimensioned for continuous currents of up to several hundred amperes – so that reserves do not “melt away” in continuous operation, but remain stable.

Prepared for Heatsink Mounting

Supports heat dissipation and parameter constancy under high loads.

Macro-Microphony

We understand macro-microphony as the stabilization of the capacitor winding against significant relative movements under load pulses as well as under mechanical excitation (transformer, chassis). In the MLytic HC, several elements work together to achieve this:

Specific Electrolyte

The electrolyte is designed so that it is not only electrotechnically capable within the winding, but also keeps the winding structure stable during operation. Through defined wetting and the appropriate flow/damping behavior, the winding is “held together” internally, so that macroscopic internal relative movements under high pulse currents are reduced.

Fixation and Damping via the Base Solution

The base plate is fitted with a self-adhesive, thermally conductive silicone pad. This fixes the capacitor reliably, simplifies mounting, and damps macro-microphonic influences from chassis and transformer excitations.

Thermal Stability Through Defined Coupling

The prepared heatsink mounting and the thermally conductive base coupling support a stable operating temperature. This reduces drift-related changes and helps the capacitor remain mechanically and electrically sovereign under continuous and pulse loads.

Micro-Microphony

Calmer Current Path Through Stable, Low-Resistance Internal Contacting

The consistently optimized internal contacting keeps the current flow more uniform and reduces the finest load-dependent modulations in the supply branch. As a result, the supply remains “clean” even when high pulse currents and complex signal waveforms occur simultaneously.

The electrolyte supports a uniform, stable current flow in the winding medium. Through homogeneous wetting and defined properties, the conductivity remains constant under dynamic load, so that fine, load-dependent modulations in the current path are reduced.

Sonic Character

The MLytic HC are designed for uncompromising sovereignty: extremely fast energy delivery, stable supply under pulse loads, and no audible compression effects at level peaks. In playback, this manifests as dynamic, precise bass, more control on transients, and a lively, clear midrange and treble, because the supply does not modulate and does not collapse when things get “brutal”.

Typical Applications

• High-power amplifier power supplies with very high pulse currents (bass loads, high levels)
• Active systems and applications with strong load steps, where supply dips would be immediately audible
• High-current power supplies with a focus on stability, precision, and continuous-load capability
• Setups in which heatsink mounting and defined mechanical fixation are desired
