  • Audio compact cassettes use magnetic tape of three major types which differ in fundamental magnetic properties, the level of bias applied during recording, and the optimal time constant of replay equalization. Specifications of each type were set in 1979 by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). By this time, Type I (IEC I, 'ferric' or 'normal' tapes) included pure gamma ferric oxide formulations, Type II (IEC II, or 'chrome' tapes) included ferricobalt and chromium dioxide formulations, and Type IV (IEC IV, or 'metal' tapes) included metal particle tapes—the best-performing, but also the most expensive. In the 1980s the lines between three types blurred. Panasonic developed evaporated metal tapes that could be made to match any of the three IEC types. Metal particle tapes migrated to Type II and Type I, ferricobalt formulations migrated to Type I. By the end of the decade performance of the best Type I ferricobalt tapes (superferrics) approached that of Type IV tapes; performance of entry-level Type I tapes gradually improved until the very end of compact cassette production. Double-layer Type III (IEC III, ferrichrome or ferrochrome) tape formulations, advanced by Sony and BASF in the 1970s, never gained substantial market presence. 'Type 0' was a non-standard designation for early compact cassettes that did not conform to IEC specification; in the 21st century it is informally used to denote any low quality or counterfeit cassette.

  • Магнитные ленты для компакт-кассет подразделяются на три основных типа, различающиеся уровнем подмагничивания при записи и постоянной времени цепей частотной коррекции при воспроизведении. Характеристики и обозначения типов лент регламентированы стандартом МЭК-94 (IEC-60094). Исторически, тип МЭК-I (IEC I) включал ленты на основе гамма-оксида железа, тип МЭК-II — ленты на основе диоксида хрома и близкие к ним по магнитным свойствам феррокобальтовые ленты, наиболее совершенный и дорогой тип МЭК-IV — металлопорошковые ленты. В 1980-е годы появились ленты со сверхтонкими рабочими слоями из напылённого металла (ME), металлопорошковые ленты МЭК-II и МЭК-I и широко распространились высококачественные феррокобальтовые ленты МЭК-I («суперферрики»). Качественный разрыв между лентами трёх типов сократился: лучшие ленты МЭК-I разработки 1980-х годов на равных конкурировали с металлопорошковыми лентами. Двухслойные феррохромные ленты, стандартизованные под обозначением МЭК-III, распространения не получили. Обозначение тип 0, не предусмотренное МЭК-94, техническая пресса применяла для устаревших лент 1960-х годов, не соответствовавших стандарту, а также для низкокачественных некондиционных или контрафактных лент.
