Product Description
"Immersive sound" is an audio advance that changes the listening experience. Music no longer seems to come through a speaker, but from an extended soundstage. Altec Lansing's proprietary SFX signal-processing immersion technology audibly widens the soundstage to a startling degree. Tuck it under your flat-screen monitor for a new audio experience - and enjoy a refreshingly open desktop, improved wire management and simplified speaker connections to your PC and iPod or CD player.

 Great Soundbar for the Price July 29, 2008
UberZeiger (Seattle, WA United States)
The form factor of this sound bar is great - fantastic design. It nests perfectly under my Samsung 245BW LCD. The volume/mute knob is large. The lines are sleek.
I use a laptop and docking station, and this sound bar is the perfect solution for great sound.
The reviews that said this sound bar will "fill the whole room" are exaggerated in my opinion. For the price, this is great sound, and plenty loud. But it certainly won't "fill the room". I also use it for movies in the bedroom, and the monitor and sound bar sit 12 feet away and it is loud enough. But don't mistake this soundbar for a high end, high power unit you would use for home theater - it can't produce really clear loud sound like those units.
In short - it is great quality for the price and I am very happy with the purchase.
Awesome acoustic power...really low price! July 26, 2008
Lyrax Acrux (Philadelphia)
I bought this sound bar, not because I needed a speaker for my flatscreen monitor (i'm a gamer and can't afford the flatscreen monitor that is superior to my crt's). I got it so I can play my iRiver 8gb iRiver clix2 without headphones! This thing hasn't disappointed me one bit. The sound is deep and resonant. The highs are crisp and clear. The volume gets very loud and its very portable! I can use my clix2 when I'm building a deck or playing frisbee with my dog. I connect it to my laptop, which is where i have all my mp3's and my main computer is free for interstellar piracy while I play Eve online. An inexpensive, terrific sounding solution to all MP3 player owners who need great sound, affordability, and portability.
Good Speakers July 17, 2008
S. B. Johnson (Winslow, AR USA)
Good sound for relatively inexpensive computer speakers. Certainly wouldn't recommend it for "serious" listening ( but that's what my Dahlquist DQ-10's and Bose Acoustimass 15 speakers are for ). The soundbar is really good on the high and mid-range. If you're looking for strong bass, these speakers aren't for you.
I'm using it with an HP W2207 monitor. If you place the soundbar where the instructions suggest ( under the base ), the monitor was unstable. But, if the monitor is at its highest level, you can slip the soundbar under the monitor behind the base. It then looks like it's part of the monitor. The combo on/off/volume/mute control and the headphone and aux jacks are still easy to access in this position. The only thing I don't like about the soundbar is that the power adapter is rather wide. If you plug it into a power strip or ups, it's apt to block off adjoining plugs.
Since it probably is important in evaluating my review, I was totally happy for a number of years with the built-in speakers in a Philips Brilliance 180P2 monitor. I only found it necessary to get external speakers when I got the HP monitor - its built-in speakers are really tinny. I am using the soundbar on a desktop pc. My main source of digital entertainment is a home theater pc.
 Not enough power but has rich sound July 2, 2008
Sajid G. Mulla
The soundbar does not have enough power but delivers enough power to produce rich vibrant sound through out the room. If you do not have 3-4 inches underneath your monitor then this will not fit, but if you have enough space like i do then the speaker will look fine in front of the monitor not only does this product have aesthetic appeal but the blue light when you turn the speaker on is not annoying when turned on. If you turn the volume on max there will be some distortion since I did hear some crackle when I did put it on max.
However, if you don't do major gaming and hate to turn the audio all the way up then this is the perfect speaker to get. I do some gaming but I really do not listen all the way up so this speaker was perfect for me. However if you want loud bass and have the room for it get the logitech Z2300 but some people did complain about the midrange so ultimately its your choice.
Altec Lansing, you did it again! March 2, 2008

This is a great speaker. First of all, it's the greatest soundbar in its category, because of an innovative design and clean sound. It also safes a lot of space in your desk and it avoids you a messy work area since it only uses two cables for power and audio. The installation is very easy, but in case you need them, it comes with precise instructions very easy to go thru. Mine took me more time to unpack the speaker than to put it to work :o) The sound is good and clear, not excellent as my Altec Lansing VS2221, but is a lot greater than many dual-speaker systems. It includes an Aux port located at the right side, very useful if you have an MP3 player. The mute function with the press of the front dial couldn't be better. I gave it 4 stars because I would like the Aux port to be located at the front of the speaker, making it more accesible and also because I would prefer the volume/mute dial to feel more robust and accurate. If you are looking for a non-conventional/decorative speaker design, with respectable sound to listen to your music while you are at work or home, without having a bunch of cables running at the top of your desk, then this is the speaker for you.
