 ATPM 11.07 - Review: Altec Lansing XT1 Speaker System
Altec Lansing has attempted to solve both problems with their USB-powered XT1 portable speaker system, and for the most part, they’ve succeeded pretty well.
Altec would do well to note this advantage and apply the knowledge to the rest of their product line where practical.
On the plus side, Altec very sensibly put the blue LED power indicator behind the speaker grille, greatly muting its brightness, which is a serious problem on the FX6021 system’s control pod.

 CoolTechZone.com - First Look: Altec Lansing inMotion iM4 Portable Audio System
While it took Altec Lansing sometime to come up with something that was truly extraordinary, their latest line of portable speakers may be a milestone for the company.
According to Altec Lansing, the iM4 has 18 hours of battery life with four AA batteries that are inserted in the back of the unit.
Altec Lansing’s suggested retail for this unit is $99.99, however, a quick search revealed the price range between $70.00 and $150.00.

 Playlist: Review: Altec Lansing inMotion iM9
Altec Lansing has released a number of systems in the $100 to $150 range (the iM4, iM5, and iM11), but we’ve continued to recommend the mm50 as the best bang for your buck.
Altec Lansing says the iM9 is “shock-resistant,” and that seems like an apt description; with the exception of Sonic Impact’s iFusion, which is built into a water-resistant, rigid case, the iM9 feels sturdier than any iPod speaker system we’ve tested.
Although smaller than Altec Lansing’s award-winning inMotion iM7 (a $250 system that’s more “transportable” than portable), the iM9 is still quite large as portable speaker systems go: a chunky 11 inches wide by almost 8 inches high by 3 inches deep.

 Review: Altec Lansing Select 641 multimedia speaker system
Altec Lansing's Select 641 speaker system is pretty basic in concept.
Altec Lansing call the larger drivers in the satellites three inchers, but that's being too generous.
As usual, though, Altec Lansing give themselves an out by not bothering to specify how attenuated the bass is meant to be at 27Hz.

 Altec Lansing M602 Digital iPod Speaker System | iLounge iPod Accessory Reviews
Serious audio companies ranging from Altec Lansing to JBL and Klipsch have sought unsuccessfully to unseat the SoundDock, trying everything from slightly more aggressive pricing to radically different and sometimes superior cosmetic designs, but nothing has worked.
In Altec’s most impressive deviation from the iM7 - quite possibly inspired by Apple’s more recent iPod Hi-Fi - lights hidden inside M602’s speaker grille activate to signal current volume, bass, and treble levels when the appropriate buttons are pressed on the remote control.
Altec’s design is much like Sonic Impact’s T24 in that it comes close enough to matching the SoundDock that some people will bite regardless; they’ll be lured in by the lower price, styling, wall mountability, added rear ports, or all of the above.

 Altec Lansing inMotion iM7 Portable Speakers | iLounge iPod Accessory Reviews
Altec’s mesh is heavy duty and resilient, while the plastic is as susceptible to damage as most iPod accessories.
But despite comments from naysayers who suggest that all of Altec’s speakers are bass-muddy or distorted, that’s truly not the case; the inexpensive iMminis are very good for their size, and the company’s FX6021 multimedia speakers, as a higher-end example, are great by almost any standard.
Altec's store is accepting orders (at the full MSRP price of course) but nobody else I can find, even Amazon, lists the iM7 on their websites yet.

 Altec Lansing DUPLEX® Loudspeaker Systems
Devotees of James B. Lansing asseverate that he designed it, but the plain truth is that he didn't, although he did design the tooling to build it.
Ward, Jim Lansing's ONLY real contribution to the development of the ALTEC 604 DUPLEX® had to do with the fabrication of the tooling for, and manufacture of, the now famous speaker, seeing as how he was in charge of manufacturing at the time.
Bill Hayes, longtime employee of Altec Lansing, and Head of Acoustical Engineering from 1973-83, has said repeatedly over the years that Jim Lansing's initials don't even appear on the original drawings for the ALTEC 604 DUPLEX® and that he (Lansing) didn't have anything to do with the actual design of it at all.
