DAT


  For professional use, DAT audio tape delivers superior quality for clear, faithful digital sound reproduction. Maxell applies an original certifying system for this tape to achieve the low error rate and high reliability required for broadcasting and audio industry applications.

High Reliability and Durability
The 2-3nm-thick layer of Ceramic Armor Metal Particles provides superior anti-oxidation characteristics, durability and high output. Maxell’s high-performance binder system and original certifying system for advanced quality control further enhance the tape characteristics for reliable storage and lasting durability. Together, these qualities help provide the high reliability that professionals require.

Dust-Resistant Cassette Shell
The shell is sealed to prevent dust from entering, and its easy-to-see yellow lid guides proper insertion of the cassette.

Extended Recording Time
With recording time that is 5 minutes longer than that of conventional tapes, Maxell DAT tapes have extra signal recording capacity for editing and program exchange.

Exclusive PP Transparent Protective Case
PP (Polypropylene) casing is shock-resistant to protect the tape during transportation, and transparent so index labels are easy to see.
