OEM for the
well known SOLEN brand and many other film audio capacitors, the
French manufacturer SCR provides one firm and unquestionable thing :
exceptional quality.
SCR's capacitors feature
dielectric and conducting materials and their application range is
wide :
crossover networks,
tubed equipment power supplies,
coupling in tube and transistor amplifiers
bypass.
Other
features :
capacitance range goes up to very high values, a fact that makes
them unique in their kind.
nominal tolerance at 5% but they always range at approx. +/- 2.5%

PPE Series, distributed around the globe under
several brand names and the label 'FAST CAPS'.
This series provides a very low tolerance value
of 5%.

TIN FOIL Series. Best known products of SCR,
this series incorporates a pure metal foil as
the conducting material instead of the usual
metallized plastic film. Tolerance values as low
as 1% and 3% ! What is really interesting about
them is that they offer very low distortion
artifacts, series resistance and high burst
currents. Due to their construction they are
relatively large-sized and quite heavy. Many
designers employ these capacitors in coupling
applications and as the main series capacitance
of high pass filters driving tweeter drivers.
