IrrtrodudnqThe Memorex CDXII.
\bu ve Gotto Hear Itlb Befieve It.
Without a doubt,
the new Memorex®
CDX II is in a
very special das
Consider
these points:
• The CDX II
is a metal
tape that can
be recorded
and played at
the high bias setting.
• The CDX II comes extremely close to
matching (see Graph I) the capability of
today's most challenging sound source
—the Compact Disc.
• The CDX II outperforms leading high
bias tapes hands down. Fact is, we
compared (see Graph II) the CDX II to
TDK SA-X and Maxell XLII-S. The re
sult? When it comes to high energy re
cording, no one can match our levels.
That's right. No one.
What MakesThe Memorex CDX II
So Special?
A bona fide breakthrough in metal
chemistry. The development of a super
alloy. One which lets us turn iron, tne
most magnetic material there is, into a
super-small particle only 12 millionths of
an inch long.
Graph l
CDXII peak recording matches
almost perfectly with the same
musk on a Compact Disc *
This metal particle produces the
highest magnetic moment of any tape
we tested. Nearly twice as high as any
conventional high bias tape—even
higher than pure metal, until
now the industry champ (see
Graph III). To you, that trans
lates into more head room.
Pf^Which means you can accur
^ ately reproduce even the most
sudden bursts of high energy
sound that comes with the
most demanding music sources.

ATape This Good Demanded
_A Superior Cassette.
So, we spent two years designing our
new five-screw cassette from the ground
up. This precision-engineered system
assures that the CDX II works as great
as it sounds. In fact, we guarantee it
for life.

The Memorex CDX II can record criti
cally demanding music substantially
better than the best conventional high
bias tapes. At critical high frequencies,

CDX II can record at a 3-5 dB
higher input level than
Maxell XUI-S or TDK SA-X
without reaching saturation.
duce music without saturating at a 3-5
dB higher input level (see Graph IV).
Now you can record at higher levels
to minimize hiss, and still capture the
loud passages, the peaks, the crescen
dos—without distortion or loss of high
notes. In fact, you can almost capture
the fantastic imaging digital discs have
become famous for. But you can do it on
tape. And do it with ease. Loud and
clear. All at the high bias setting.
Compare The CDXII.
W RndTheres No Comparison.
Wl' urge you to put loyalty aside and
compare CDX II to the tape you're sold
on now. Or, to any other tape you think
can beat it. You'll never know what
you're missing until you do.
