Altec Lansing has officially
re-entered the high-end computer speaker market with the launch of its 2.1 and
5.1 FX systems. Simple, elegant yet fantastic sounding, the FX4021 and FX5051
are perfect for today's more stylish computer systems. [more]
But there's big technology hiding
inside the less-is-more design. Both FX systems produce fantastically clean
sound traditionally found only in oversized boxy systems. A unique isobaric
subwoofer design produces a warm, rich and rumbling bass in a package half the
size of traditional systems. The isobaric technology is a proven dual-bass
driver subwoofer design typically used for automotive installations. By
integrating it into the new FX series, Altec Lansing offers consumers rich
sound and more bass in less space.
For ultimate placement
flexibility and convenience, the FX4021 and FX5051 come with a wireless remote
and can even be mounted on the wall. And, the FX5051 is the first 5.1 system to
provide USB plug-and-play connectivity, giving new meaning to ease-of-use.
These features and more offer purposeful design with award-winning Altec
Lansing sound that is perfect for today's more contemporary digital living
spaces.
