Great Sound, Styling, and Value ... It's All Here in Altec Lansing's New VS Series Designed to Complement Today's Thinner, Sleeker, More Sophisticated Digital Electronics |
|
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- LAS VEGAS
CONVENTION CENTER, ROOM N204 -- It seems almost impossible. As PC
monitors, DVD recorders, MP3 players, and other digital devices get
thinner and thinner, they get more powerful. More loaded with
features. And generally, a whole lot cooler to use. For entertainment lovers who don't want that
coolness factor to end at their audio output jack, Altec Lansing(R)
Technologies today unveiled its new VS Series, a line of four Powered
Audio systems that add as much in style as they do in sound.
Delivering the audio quality for which Altec Lansing is famous, the
four new VS Series products-VS2120, VS2121, VS3121 and VS3151- feature
a thin-profile, brushed aluminum look that matches even the sleekest
flat panel displays. All four VS Series systems incorporate Altec
Lansing's advanced Powered Audio technology that eliminates the need
for an external amplifier. PCs, televisions, game systems, even MP3/CD
players -- just plug in to a VS Series system and you're ready to
rock. Specific features include: -- VS2120 - As comfortable on the desktop as it is on your budget, the
VS2121's high-fidelity drivers provide a welcome upgrade from typical
PC speakers. The two shielded satellites pump sound directly at you,
revealing all the color and excitement of music, games, and other
multimedia entertainment.
-- VS2121 - A 2.1 (2 satellite + 1 subwoofer) system, the VS2121 lets
loose with deep-bass stereo sound at an affordable price. The system
includes SFX Technology(TM) (Sound Field Expander) that broadens any
stereo image at the touch of a switch. Speakers can be wall-mounted
as well for a clean, architectural look.
-- VS3121 - Sporting convenience as well as performance, the 2.1 VS3121
system incorporates two 2" full-range drivers per satellite, plus a
feature-loaded control pod. Fine-tune your games and music -- or kick
in your SFX Technology(TM) afterburner -- from the comfort of your
chair; the pod also sports jacks that allow you to easily plug in a TV,
headphone, or other digital device.
-- VS3151 - Your ears won't believe the sound -- and your eyes won't
believe the price -- of this exceptional 5.1 audio system. Whispered
dialogue, melodious symphonic music, earth-shattering sound effects ...
they're all rendered flawlessly using the VS3151's four desktop
satellites, full-range center speaker, and 5.25" subwoofer. Packing a
Sound Pressure Level (SPL) rating of 103 dB, the VS3151 includes a
dual-mode (6-channel surround or 2/4 channel stereo) selector and
convenient, feature-rich control pod.
"Altec Lansing's VS Series is our most
balanced and refined general-use audio line yet," said Bob
Garthwaite, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing for Altec
Lansing Technologies. "Each product in the line offers the
quality sound people expect from Altec Lansing, in a flat panel format
that matches the latest PC monitors and televisions. Audio quality,
design, and value-it's all present in the new VS Series." Pricing, Availability Altec Lansing's new VS Series product line will
debut at the 2004 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas,
