We Will, We Will Rock You ... and Your House! Altec Lansing Introduces New High-End Home iPod Speaker System

MILFORD, Pa., Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Altec Lansing ups the ante in the iPod speaker category with the introduction of its high-end speaker system for the home. The M602 was engineered to surpass the top performers in this category with custom-designed drivers and patented bass enhancement technology that rocks even the most classical songs. Designed to deliver crisp, clear highs and room-thumping lows at loud volumes, the M602 creates perfect harmony in every home. This sleek, elegant-looking system will add flare to any home or office decor and is perfectly sized to fit on an end table, bookshelf, countertop or desktop. At a MSRP of $199.95, the M602 is ideal for the music lover that wants a traditional home stereo audio experience at a competitive price.

The versatility of the M602 won't go unnoticed. It is "Made for iPod" certified, but also has a universal MP3 cradle that creates a stage-like docking system, allowing the player of your choice to stand front and center. Additionally, the M602 comes complete with a composite video output that lets you watch iPod videos on TV. The size of a laptop, the M602 can be carried from room-to-room or mounted on the wall. (The wall mount kit is available for free on Altec Lansing's Web site.) A top-located control panel gives easy fingertip adjustment of the M602 operations, including treble and bass for your ideal sound. LED indicator lights, subtly located behind the grille, provide instant visual of master volume, treble and bass levels. The lights fade after adjustments are made. For ultimate convenience, untuck the wireless remote from its caddy and you have across-the-room command of the M602, as well as most of the iPod functions, including play/pause and back/forward.
