By the late 1980s, manufacturers began incorporating ultra-fine cobalt-doped particles and even pure metal particles — normally the domain of Type IV — into Type II cassettes. The resulting tapes delivered dynamic range and signal-to-noise performance that rivaled budget metal tapes, while retaining full compatibility with any deck's high-bias setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining models of premium Type II include TDK SA-X (ultra-fine cobalt-modified formulation, Japan reference-class), Maxell XLII-S (the most technically accomplished standard Type II in Maxell's lineup, competing directly with entry-level metal), Sony UX-S and ES-II (Sony's flagship high-bias tapes through the 1980s), Denon HD-X, That's CDing II, and AXIA PS-IIs.

The finer the magnetic particles, the more easily they are disrupted by repulsive forces between them, and the performance of ultra-fine magnetic particles cannot be fully exploited with conventional one-time orientation. The new PS-S uses double orientation to align the magnetic material and achieves the world's highest angular ratio. The performance of the ultra-fine magnetic particles is fully exploited to create a high-power magnetic layer that captures the sound of a CD. Double orientation changes the sound of cassettes...   The PS-IIS offers high resolution and beautiful transparency. High fidelity sound suitable for digital sound sources. The wide dynamic range ensures that rich bass and overtone components up to ultra-high frequencies in CD sources are captured. High MOL Combines low noise with maximum tape sensitivity, shaping up noise reduction suitability for CDs. Double orientation further enhances dubbing characteristics.
