We are in love with Axia tapes, and so will you after you hear them sing.
The AU series is Axia's premium line. This tape is the so called 'entry level' tape of the AU series, but we can assure you there is nothing 'entry level' about its construction, nor its sound. We are not alone. Many users who have shared their experiences on platforms like Tapeheads.net praise the AU-I for its surprising and very good sound quality, indicating that it stands out among Type I normal bias tapes.
The 'DC' designation stands for double coated. Yes, a double coated tape that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!
We will be posting a detailed review on this tape in the near future, but don't wait for it. Try it out for yourself, get your mind blown, and then we'll invite you to try its sibling higher up the ladder, the AU-Ix that features Axia's AER mechanism.
