AXIA AU-IIx (1991 JP)

We are in love with Axia tapes, and so will you after you hear them sing.

The AU series is Axia's premium line, and this tape is the top of the line of this series. It is double coated and uses Axia's proprietary AER mechanism for the highest stability.

This tape will stand up (and beat...) the familiar high end type II tapes, including the Maxell XLII-S, the TDK SA-X, and even the Sony UX-S. It is that good!

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.
