Non-polarized caps in gainclone?

avenger · 30th January 2005, 01:02 AM

Hi guys,
can we use non-polarized caps in the non-inverting gc (lm3886), on the input lead and on the inverting input lead after the resistor to groung?
I just bought some at the local radio shack but didn't notice they were non polarized.

Thank you very much in advance.
God bless.

Non-polarized caps can be put in place of polarized caps 99.9% of the time

But not the other way around.
