Leveraging 70 years of professional theater expertise, Altec Lansing, a division of Plantronics, Inc., today introduced a new portfolio of high-end audio systems for the home theater. The new Powered Theater Series provide elegant designs and wireless surround sound for flat panel TVs.
“While digital audio plays a central role in homes today, the majority of systems are difficult to set up, involve a web of wires and lack designs that consumers want to showcase in living spaces,” said Robert Heiblim, senior vice president of Marketing for Altec Lansing. “Altec Lansing’s new home theater products provide the convenience and simplicity of wireless, without compromising great sound or designs that truly complement home decor.”
Home Theater Surround Sound, Without the Wires
Altec Lansing’s new Powered Theater (PT) Series deliver theater-quality surround sound with sleek, elegant bar-style speakers that eliminate bulky and conspicuous components. The PT speakers provide immersive cinematic audio experiences and designs that match the streamlined form factor of today’s flat panel TVs.
- PT8051:The two-speaker PT8051 system provides the ultimate surround sound experience through left, center and right channels within one front speaker as well as left / right channels included in a rear wireless speaker. The system’s matched 8″ x 1½” NXT® Digital balanced audio transducers have flat radiating surfaces that cover more sound and more room area than conventional cone speakers. Movie sound is incredibly realistic through automatic engagement of Dolby® and DTS® listening modes.
- PT7031:The PT7031 is a one-piece, easy-to-set-up speaker system that utilizes virtual speaker technology from Dolby Labs to deliver five-channel surround sound experience. The three matched 8” x 1½” NXT® Digital balanced audio transducers have an advanced surface that is virtually free of distortion.
The Altec Lansing PT8051 system (pictured) and PT7031 have MSRPs of $999.95 and $599.95, respectively. Both products are available in August at major retailers and www.alteclansing.com.
