TEAC Corporation (ティアック)
TYO: [

is an electronics company based in
Japan. They have a professional recording division called
TASCAM. TEAC was founded in 1956 as the Tokyo Electro Acoustic Company.
Teac is known for its audio equipment, and was a primary manufacturer of high-end audio equipment in the 1980's. During that time, Teac produced notable tape decks, cd players, turntables and amplifiers.
Teac CRC 90 minute audio cassette. Note that the tape reels resemble a
reel-to-reel tape with the tape covered by a plastic covering, this is for cosmetic appearance only, and is not thought to improve quality of the audio cassette.
Of particular note is that Teac produced an
audio cassette that resembled a
reel-to-reel tape in its appearance. Many manufactures of the time used these Teac cassettes in advertisements of their
tape decks because the Teac cassettes looked more professional than standard audio cassettes, and because reel-to-reel tape recordings were known to be of higher quality than cassette recordings.
Teac still produces audio equipment, and has a well respected high end division, called "Esoteric."
