Expressionist™ ULTRA combines sophisticated design with accurate, powerful
audio reproduction for music, gaming and movies
London – 4th September 2009 – Altec Lansing, a division of Plantronics Inc. and a market leader in digital audio, today announced the new Expressionist™ Ultra (MX6021), a distinctively styled and powerful three-piece home speaker system for computers, MP3 players and more.
With 200 continuous watts (RMS) delivered in a dramatic design, the Expressionist Ultra is one of Altec Lansing’s most powerful computer audio systems. Its boom comes from five digital amplifiers powering five separate drivers for an authentically tuned sonic explosion. Each speaker driver – the 3” midranges, the 1” neodymium tweeters and the 6 1/2” long-throw subwoofer -- is individually fired and powered precisely as the source demands it. The result is exceptional audio detail and earth-shaking bass that you can genuinely feel. This uniquely designed 3-piece powerhouse takes music, movies and games to a whole new listening level.
“We take pride in understanding our customers’ wants and needs, and in creating products that fit their lifestyle,” said Adrian Bedggood, Altec Lansing’s Consumer Marketing Manager. These days, more people are keeping all of their music and entertainment on their computer. So sound quality is very important to them. They want an audio system that sounds great and plays loud without distorting their favourite artist, movie scene or video game. The Expressionist Ultra speaker system fits the bill beautifully.”
The unique design of the Expressionist Ultra breaks rank from the traditional form of other speakers. It is designed to be showcased, rather than hidden away in an office. The contemporary industrial design of the satellites emphasizes visible drivers set into a translucent bezel. The subwoofer features a distinctive trapezoidal design that breaks up standing waves and delivers the deep bass that brings multimedia to life. The Expressionist Ultra speaker system is the perfect complement to today’s stylish computers, and with power output and sound quality rivalling many home stereos, it can also be positioned for use with TVs and gaming consoles.
