Axia J'Z 1 Color (2002-2006 JP) Cassette Tape

Axia J'Z 1 Color Cassette Description

The J'Z series were the middle of the range type I Axia tapes, surpassed only by the more expensive PS series and the top of the line K series.  

A neutral, relatively young and very capable premium type I. We dare to say it will perform within a hair of a TDK AD of the same era and will handle as high levels as the latter so you can probably do without Dolby NR.

It's pretty rare, collectible, and the wrapper design is just breathtaking cool like many of Axia's later tapes.  

The Axia J'Z 1 Color cassette tape is a high-quality audio cassette designed for professional and enthusiast use. Manufactured in Japan between 2002 and 2006, this tape is known for its exceptional clarity and definition in recording and playback. It is particularly suited for rock, pop, and electronic music due to its ability to capture high-frequency sounds effectively.
