"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 11/2" NXT(R) 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(R)
and DTS(R) 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 11/2"
NXT(R) Digital balanced audio transducers have an advanced surface
that is virtually free of distortion.
The Altec Lansing PT8051 system and PT7031 have MSRPs of $999.95 and
$599.95, respectively. Both products are available in August at major
