MILFORD, PA, Jul 31 (MARKET WIRE) --
Altec Lansing, a division of Plantronics, Inc., today announced that its
T612(TM) digital audio system has passed "Works with iPhone" iPhone 3G
test requirements for use with Apple's latest generation iPhone(TM). The
T612 delivers rich, immersive sound for music and multimedia, while also
supporting key iPhone 3G call features.
"Altec Lansing has a unique legacy of designing products that meet
up-to-the-minute technology trends and consumer desires," said Bernice
Cramer, senior vice president of Marketing and Product Development for
Altec Lansing. "Just six months after introducing Altec Lansing's first
'Works with iPhone' speaker dock for the original iPhone, we're proud to
now offer iPhone 3G compatibility."
Altec Lansing's T612 received the "Works with iPhone" certification for
the original iPhone in January 2008 and has since received high marks
among iPhone consumers, including a 4.5 out of 5 star ranking at
http://store.apple.com/us and a 4 out of 5 star ranking at www.amazon.com.
High Quality Sound
The T612 features clear, full-spectrum sound delivered by four specially
engineered neodymium speakers. Proprietary XdB(TM) bass-enhancement
technology offers exceptionally rich audio reproduction and solid bass,
even without a sub-woofer.
iPhone Call Support
Music pauses and resumes play before and after taking a call without
switching the iPhone to airplane mode. The T612 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.
Connections and Controls
The T612 sports Apple's Universal Dock to play and charge all iPhone and
new-generation iPod models. In addition, the rear of the T612 provides a
standard auxiliary-in jack for connection to older iPod models as well as
other audio devices.
The T612 comes equipped with a wireless remote for iPod song navigation
functionality, featuring Power, Volume Down, Volume Up, Track Back, Track
Forward, Play/Pause, and separate Bass, and Treble controls with visual
display.
The Altec Lansing T612 system is currently sold at Apple retailers and
www.alteclansing.com for $199.95 (U.S. MSRP). For more information visit:
