Capacitance difference?

[qtipextra 5,000+ posts]

Im building this, but I dont have the capcitors. The schematic says the capacitors should be 35v, 100uF. I have 35v 1000uF capacitors. My question is, if you have something that will store more then neccisary, or that is more the it specifies, is that a bad thing? Could I use the capacitors with 10X as much capacitance? Or should I just order 100uF ones?

I imagine your using this for pro audio.. if you are, you really need to follow the schematic. Especially for a phantom powered device.

Shit, I was afraid someone would say that.

What would it effect if I did use the 1000uF instead?

Pretty sure that those are filter caps and the value matters.

The voltage output by the device will either go up or down.. I need to re-look that diagram to tell you for sure.

Either way thoug.. that's something you don't want it to do.
