A DENON Audio Tape gatefold leaflet, international release with no exact print date, 1991 is inferred from the lineup. Inside is the full range of the year: Metal HD-MS, High-bias HD8S/HD7S/HD6S on EX II purified black crystal and “XII-Maximized Metal” formulations, ferric DX4/DX3/DX1/DX and the DAT R-120DT with a new binder system at B.E.T. 55 m²/g. The middle panel shows the new shell with oblique dual windows and a length table covering everything from 46 to 120 minutes; the back carries full specs measured against a DENON tape tester deck.
