premium reasons for using
Maxell in every car deck.
At one time, using high-quality
cassettes in your car stereo
didn't make much sense. But
all that's changed.
Today, many car cassette decks
can equal a good home unit.
So, Maxell gives you o choice of
premium cassettes to record at
home and play back in your car.
UD-XL I, normal bias cassettes,
give you the high output and
low distortion you expect from
Maxell. UD-XL II, hi-level bias
cassettes, accentuate the high
end for more dynamic playback,
while maintaining low
distortion.
So by all means, use Maxell
in your premium quality car
stereo Then you can hear our
reasons why.
