Altec Lansing has introduced the new Expressionist BASS desktop speaker system calling it the industry's first 2.2 desktop speaker system.
The Expressionist BASS is a two-piece PC speaker set, housing dual down-firing, radiating subwoofers built into each base. The Expressionist BASS contains subwoofers within the system's freestanding, cone-shaped body – thus eliminating the need for a third, bulky, bass-amplifying component. The cone-shaped architecture of the new Expressionist BASS adds significant acoustic value to the speaker system, while the rounded body decreases harsh edge diffractions which can typically "color" audio to the listener's ear – resulting in efficient frequency responses with low distortion for much cleaner, more natural sound.
"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 of Altec Lansing. "The unique chassis of the new Expressionist BASS is built to appeal to both eye and ear by amplifying fidelity as well as contributing a bold, distinctive new look to today's multimedia systems. Expressionist BASS proves that powerful, natural sound performance can come in a compact, space-saving package."
The platform of the speaker system channels power amplification in a downward motion - to radiate sound off hard surfaces and reflect audio in a 360-degree field. 4" (100mm) long-throw subwoofers are built into the base of each speaker. Engineered with two 1½" (40mm) drivers, mid- and high- frequencies are compartmentalized so vocals and details come through with total clarity.
The cone-shaped chassis is fitted with bezels and fasteners, visible connectors and drivers, heritage horn tweeter components and precision machined cage details.
The Expressionist BASS speaker system also features an auxiliary input to provide convenient connection to any MP3, CD and DVD player.
Altec Lansing Expressionist BASS (FX3022) system will be available at an estimated street price of Rs. 5490 through its National distributor Rashi Peripherals and its branches across the country.
