Cassette

A cassette is a physical audio format which was originally used for dictation purposes. Nowadays, it is used as a music format for portable listening. It uses 1/8 inch magnetic tape to encode the audio signal on two sides, two on the top, and two on the bottom. Cassettes were on a hiatus in the late 2000s, but later revived in the 2010s. As of December 2020, cassettes are still being made.

The Aspects on Cassettes
A normal cassette usually caps around 18 kHz frequency response at 120 nanoseconds. Chrome and Metal cassettes offer better quality at around 20-25 kHz frequency response at 70 nanoseconds. Cassettes are a recordable format, so if you plan on creating your own mixtape of music, Chrome and Metal cassettes are the recommended starting points. Noise Reduction is done using the Dolby Technology, but the most commonly used is Dolby B.
