Cassette Tape Is Now Being Made in Springfield

National Audio Company will soon begin manufacturing its own cassette tape to be used in audiocassettes. The company's supply of tape was finally drying up, more than five decades after the cassette tape was first invented...

Founded in 1969, National Audio Company grew steadily over its first twelve years, becoming the leading distributor of Ampex recording tapes and Fidelipac broadcast cartridges for the professional market. In 1980, we began manufacturing audio cassettes at our Springfield, Missouri plant.

With a long-term vision for innovation and quality in audio duplication, we are here for the long haul. We are the largest manufacturer of professional-quality audio cassettes in the U.S., and as music fans and recording artists rediscover the warmth of analog sound, demand for cassettes continues to grow.

Along with cassette tapes, we now offer vinyl record pressing and CD duplication services. Whether you need full production—including layout, design, imprinting, duplication, printing, assembly, and shrink wrap—or just one step in the process, we can accommodate projects of any size. From 100 copies to 100,000, National Audio delivers cost-effective, high-quality solutions for all your audio needs.

I wanted to tell you what an amazing job you guys did with the O-card Cassettes , they look and sound great and got here on time !
Thanks for rushing the order and the awesome work 😉

Many great thanks to the amazing staff at NAC!! We are so happy with the sound and look of our new cassette release. So are our listeners, we sold out of our first order in one week. We WILL be re-ordering...

Also, we were VERY pleased with the hi-fidelity results of the ChromePlus tape. Amazing sounding tape. Our music features a plethora of vintage instruments Hammond Organ, Gibsons, Marshalls, Sunn amps ARP & Moog Synthesizers, and Mellotrons. This tape was PERFECT for all of these sounds as well as vocals and drums all coming through. I am SO pleased with the mastering of the recording,
Everyone at NAC rocks. Looking forward to doing many more releases with you.

THANKS from EYE!
