Improvements over Previous Generation

The Scotch CX series was introduced in the late 1980s, offering improved formulations and manufacturing processes. The CX series utilized a cobalt volume-doping process combined with a double-coating technique, enhancing overall tape output levels and reducing noise. This improvement made the CX series a popular choice among audio enthusiasts and professionals.
