High-Precision Cassette Design with Anti-Static Lid

Side lock mechanism

Top and bottom grooves

The precision engineered cassette shell is molded of ABS Resin, which prevents warpage and provides tough impact resistance and durability. The anti-static cassette lid treatment repels dust, debris, and contaminants, minimizing dropouts. The sliding lock mechanism prevents against accidental erasure of recordings.

Panasonic High Density S-AMQ Technology

With the employment of Panasonic's proprietary S-AME Technology, as well as the adoption of a hybrid lubricant and robust DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) protective layer, AMQ tape achieves superior performance, and the highest durability & reliability to meet professional master quality recording demands.
