Ultra portable, lightweight docking speaker system amplifies the all-embracing experience of music for iPhone and iPod users alike
(Mobile World Congress 2009) – Altec Lansing, sound specialist
and a division of Plantronics, Inc., today unveiled their new inMotion
MAX™ premium digital audio docking speaker system at the Mobile World
Congress in Barcelona this week from February 16-19, 2009. Featuring no
wires or leash, the inMotion MAX is a sleek, truly portable all-in-one
speaker system for iPhone and iPod users that was created especially for
music die-hards who live in a borderless world. As the consumer
lifestyle becomes increasingly mobile, the inMotion MAX delivers lush,
rich sound in an ultra lightweight, bold design that moves beyond the
confines of the home and onto the street, enabling it’s users to share
their music, whether using an iPhone, iPod, MP3 player or built-in
FM-Radio, to create the perfect ambience anywhere, anytime.
“Altec Lansing has a unique history of designing innovative and modern
sound systems to match the audio needs of the ever-evolving music and
entertainment culture dating back more than 70 years,” said Luc Ackaert,
EMEA Marketing Director of Altec Lansing. “As one of the first
developers of the iPod docking system, we feel the new iMotion Max
speaker system for the iPhone and iPod is a representation of our
passion for meaningful design, ultimate freedom and flexibility and
above all, impeccable crystal-clear sound to capture the true emotion of
music.”
High Quality Sound
Using proprietary ESS technology for an expanded sound stage, powerful
XdB bass-enhancement and twin precision-matched, full spectrum speakers,
the new Altec Lansing inMotion MAX delivers crisp sound unmatched by the
competition and at a surprisingly large stereophonic range – easily
filling any size room with rich, realistic, distortion-free audio.
iPhone In-Call Support
Compatible with the Apple iPhone, Apple iPod and most MP3 players, the
inMotion MAX speaker system automatically pauses music when a call is
received on an iPhone. In order to avoid any nasty interruptions
mid-song, the inMotion MAX is fully immune to GSM and Wi-Fi signals,
preventing the speakers from picking up potential intermittent noises
emitted by the iPhone 3G, original iPhone or other mobile devices.
Additional Features
For those aren’t early risers by nature, the inMotion MAX supports
iPhone and iPod alarm and sleep timer features and is additionally
equipped with a built-in digital FM radio and high-contrast amber LCD to
display songs and FM station data (RDS). Perfect for parties on the go,
the inMotion MAX includes an enhanced remote to control speaker system
functions, the FM Radio and playlist and song navigation, as well as an
auxiliary input to connect a second audio source. Whether on the road or
at home, the inMotion Max’s rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up
to 3.5 hours of continuous play.
Available in March 2009, the Altec Lansing inMotion MAX (iMT702) system
will be sold at leading electrical retailers and priced in the region of
€199 / £149.99 (including VAT).
