These tapes offered excellent performance with noticeably higher output than any competing brands at the time. A successor to the 399, the first type 5 (high output +6) tapes produced. The MOL is so high that most older machines will reach their electronic limits before the tape distorts, which means most of the older machines cannot use their incredible capabilities. The 499s went one step further with an additional 3 dB of output.
