The new Maxell Professional MS studio audio cassettes with the Maxell XLII formulation make use of a pure epitaxial magnetic particle. The use of ultra fine High Epitaxial magnetic particles combined with our unique Multi-orientation Technology produces high output and low noise. The use of a three-dimensional bridge structure, like a solid mesh, produces outstanding dispersion and packing. Moreover, it also improves tape strength and durability dramatically as well as delivering superior heat resistance. In addition, the technology to produce a dense, even dispersion of the magnetic particles has been enhanced. New calendaring, moreover, means a smoother surface for the magnetic layer, the key to Low Noise and improving high frequency response.
