Maxell C-90

Not much is documented about the Maxell C-90. The Archive's record rests on a single period source: Audio's September 1983 cassette roundup (p.42), which listed the tape at $4.59. Audio (September 1983, p.42) observed that Type II tapes were improving but that many still didn't match the better Type I tapes in MRL or signal-to-noise ratio. It described Maxell's LN formulation as a nonpremium tape for not-too-demanding applications.

Beyond that, the Archive's files have no specifications, no production years and no design details.
