HiPac (stylized as HIPAC) (pronounced as high-pack), is an audio tape cartridge format, introduced in August 1971 on the Japanese consumer market by Pioneer[1] and discontinued in 1973 due to lack of demand. In 1972 it only achieved a market share of 3% in equipping new cars.[2] In the mid 1970s, the format was repurposed as a children's educational toy called Шаблон:Nihongo and was used in the analog tape delay "Melos Echo Chamber".
Cartridge
HiPac is a successor of the PlayTape cartridge, licensed by Toshiba and had similar dimensions of Шаблон:Convert, which is closer to Compact Cassette than other cartridges containing Bernard Cousino's endless loop tape. Depending on the tape length, the weight is about Шаблон:Convert and used the wider four-track magnetic tape of the compact cassette with Шаблон:Convert The four audio tracks are separated into two stereo programs. The second program is recorded in the same direction as the first, unlike the Compact Cassette.[3]
There are two specified tape speeds: 60 minutes at Шаблон:Frac ips or ~4.8 cm/s, and 30 minutes at Шаблон:Frac ips or ~9.5 cm/s.[1] The tape speed is detected automatically by a notch in the cartridge's case. The slower of these tape speeds is identical to the Compact Cassette.[4]
