We put more thought into our leader than most manufacturers put into their tape.
One of the reasons Maxell has such a great following is because of our leader. It has a built-in non-abrasive head cleaner designed to remove the oxide residue other tapes leave behind, without damaging your tape heads.
It also points out what side of the tape you're on (A or B) as well as which direction the tape is traveling. So it's almost impossible to make a mistake.
It even gives you a five second cueing mark, so you can set your recording levels without wasting tape. Or time.
Obviously, all the thought that went into our leader was designed-o help you get more out of our tape.
So if you think our leader sounds impressive, wait till you hear what follows it.
