Altec Lansing intros speaker system

Mumbai : Altec Lansing has introduced Expressionist BASS desktop 2.2
speaker system. It is a two-piece PC speaker set, housing dual down firing,
radiating subwoofers built into each base-designed for digital entertainment
enthusiasts, seeking optimal performance plus inspired design. Expressionist
BASS contains subwoofers within the system's freestanding, cone-shaped body.
Additionally, its cone-shaped architecture adds significant acoustic value to
the speaker system. The rounded body decreases harsh edge diffractions, which
can typically 'color' audio to the listener's ear. "The evolution of digital
music and media has dramatically increased PC-centric playback, so Altec Lansing
engineered this integrated system to audibly and aesthetically complement the
desktop," said Vicki Marion, President, Altec Lansing. The platform of the
Expressionist BASS is designed to radiate sound off hard surfaces and reflect
audio in a 360-degree field. 100mm long-throw subwoofers are built into the base
of each speaker. Engineered with two 1.5-in (40mm) drivers, mid and high
frequencies are compartmentalized so vocals and details come through with total
clarity. The Expressionist BASS speaker system also features an auxiliary input
to provide convenient connection to any MP3, CD and DVD player. Pricing and
availability: Altec Lansing Expressionist BASS (FX3022) system will be available
at an estimated street price of Rs 5,490 through its national distributor Rashi
Peripherals and its 53 branches spread all across India.
