The second
generation of Altec Lansing Bookshelf Models
Perhaps more
than any other single audio component, the speaker-on-the-shelf has come to
represent Hi-Fi. Its classic design and compact size have made it a favorite
the world over. But all bookshell speakers are far from being equal.
At Altec
Lansing, have always believed that their speakers should deliver outstanding
performance.
So Altec
Lansing invest years of research and
refinement in evry product their make. The result of this effort is the Series
II Bookshell Line.
Five
speakers - each an exceptional performer. Each made better by subtle changes in
acoustic design, construction techniques and material selection. Changes like
the new hybrid magnet designfound in the Models one through Seven.
Until now,
speaker magnet structure design was either of the traditional Alnico or ceramic
type.
The Alnico
type uses a voice coil that surrounds the magnet. It has been found, however,
that the interaction of the voice coil and the magnet will eventually cause the
magnet to partially demagnetize. The result is a loss of sensitivity and a
muddy bass sound. The ceramic magnet poses a different problem. Here the voice
coil moves around the pole piece and is surrounded by the magnet. The thinner
magnet, however, creates a clearance problem for the voice coil.
The Altec
Lansing hybrid magnet design combines
the best of both magnet types. The new design still has the magnet around the
voice coil, but the new "top hal" design eliminates the clearance
problem. Of course the one thing we
would never change is the quality that Altec Lansing is known for. We still mke
all our speaker components and all our bookshelf speakers are finished with
real wood veneers.
So if you're
looking for top performance combined with the classic appearance of a bookshelf
speaker, search the Altec Lansing for a
demonstration of the Series II Bookshelf speakers.
