AXIA PS-II (1985-1986 JP) Cassette Tape

AXIA PS-II Cassette Description

A fine example of Axia's early generation 'entry level' type II from the heyday that helped build Fuji and Axia's reputation.

The PS-II is a rugged, reliable, and excellent sounding classic type II with low noise and clear detailed highs. It has that nostalgic 'flavor', both in design and in sound, that many more modern tapes have lost in favor of technical excellence.

We recommend the ZX-9 for recording on this tape.

The Axia PS-II (1985-1986 JP) is a type II blank cassette tape designed for high-quality audio recording and playback. It is part of the Axia brand, which was rebranded from Fuji for the Japanese market to appeal to a younger audience.
