Wow, I never imagined that it was an acronym .

Back in the early 90s I always heard pronounce it as "teak" (like the plant) whereas everyone on Youtube seems to pronounce it "tee-ak" and that's what Google says too https://www.google.com/search?q=teac+pronunciation

I pronounce TEAC the same as you, but I'm not sure I remember hearing anyone say TEAC out loud - I sort of pronounced it in my head, heh...
