Maxell UD Reel-to-Reel Tape (1977)

Maxell UD

Ultra-Dynamic Master Quality High Fidelity Tape

Maxell UD permits a frequency response from 20 Hz to 24,000 Hz - limits that are beyond the range of many recorders. The dynamic range, too, is so wide as to allow high input signals to be recorded without distortion, while low strength signals are captured with full fidelity.

The binder system guarantees uniform coating of the oxide, which means virtually no dropouts along the lenght of the tape. Special surface polishing to a mirror finish means better tape-to -head contact for maximum fidelity.

The tape that's too good for most equipment.

Maxell tapes are not cheap. In fact, a single reel of our most expensive tape costs more than many inexpensive tape recorders. Our tape is expensive because it's designed specifically to get the most out of good high fidelity components. So it makes no sense to invest in Maxell unless you have equipment that can put it to good use.

The reason our tape sounds so good is because it's made so carefully.

Every batch of magnetic oxide we use gets run through an electron microscope. Because if every particle isn't perfect, the sound you hear won't be either. And since even a little speck of dust can put a dropout in tape, no one gets into our manufacturing area until he's been washed, dressed in a special dust-free uniform and vacuumed.

We clean off the crud other tapes leave behind.

After all the work we put into our tape, we're not about to let it go to waste on a dirty tape recorder head. So we out special nonabrasive head cleaner on all our cassettes and reel-to-reel tapes. Which is something no other tape company bothers to do.

Our tape comes with a better guarantee than your tape recorder.

Nothing is guaranteed to last forever. Nothing we know of, except our tape. So our guarantee is simplicity itself, anytime you ever have a problem with any Maxell cassette, 8-track or reel-to-reel tape, you can send it back and get a new one.

Give our tape a fair hearing

You can hear just how good Maxell tape sounds at your nearby audio dealer. (Chances are, it's what he uses to demonstrate his best tape decks.) You'll be surprised to hear how much more music good equipment can produce when it's equipped with good tape.
