Soul Superfly Jupiter Upgrade Kit

$279.00

Upgrade your Soul Mk.I Superfly loudspeakers with this easy DIY Jupiter Copper Foil & Wax Capacitor Kit—only basic solder and screwdriver skills required.

Soul-1 Superfly Jupiter Copper Foil & Wax Capacitor Upgrade Kit has correct length leadouts that are prepped and terminated so you don’t have to mess with stripping Teflon or installing terminals. You will need to solder on the tweeter driver, but that is the extent of the soldering.

This kit replaced the the tweeter’s high-pass network. More information on the differences and what you can expect from this kit are discussed further down.

Video (link below) shows the upgrade being performed on the DW-6. It is similar to the Soul-1, the difference is there’s no foam piece to remove on the Soul-1, and the tweeter driver require soldering. No, you don’t want to add any foam to the Soul Mk.I, the DW-6 is very different funtionally—DO NOT CHANGE THE INTERNAL FOAM ARMAMENT.

  • #1 square drive screwdriver

  • Torx T20 drive screwdriver

  • Soldering Iron (2 - 4% silver bearing solder is recommended)

What Are The Sound Differences Between The Standard, ClarityCap MR, And Jupiter Copper Foil & Wax?

Compared to the base model’s basic polypropylene capacitor, the Jupiter Copper is much more relaxed and smooth sounding, all while raising resolution. The combination of reduced noise and improved transient response let you hear deeper into the sound field—improved stereophony, better timber of brass and percussion-heavy instruments, more revealing vocals, improved tone and color resolution of string-based instruments—a very nice bump in smoothness and holography, where the recreated sound space is more “reach out and touch you” and buttery, without sacrificing any detail in resolution.

What Capacitors Came In Omen Mk.I Speakers?

Basic polypropylene capacitors souch as Solan or ERSE Pulse-X.
