Why bypassing this way?

[StefanJ83]

Just wondering why Jan Meier is bypassing with two 100uF capacitors in series with their cathodes turned to each other.

Look at the attached picture. (Preamp out, Processor out)

Thanks //StefanJ

The caps protect the output opamp from DC voltages coming in through the second output. They are wired back-to-back to make a "bipolar" (non-polarized) capacitor. The unknown DC voltage could be either polarity.
Been hanging around Headwize, eh?

It might sound a little better to use a single 50uF unpolarized capacitor instead.

Thanks guys!

I'm kind of new to this and really appreciates your help.
