Everything is getting thinner these dayss mobile phones, televisions, computers and of course, iPods. Today, Altec Lansing introduced the perfect companion for your ultra-thin iPod nano the inMotion iM500 portable audio system. This lightweight and impossibly thin carry-along is the most compact speaker system from Altec Lansing yet, with an efficient foldaway design, making it a cinch to toss into a small purse or bag for travel.
But great sound from such a small package? Absolutely. Altec Lansing utilized its decades of audio expertise to custom-engineer a cleverly thin speaker design. Audio volume depends on the measure of air movement within the speaker. Therefore, the iM500 uses innovative broad-faced speaker cones, which provide more surface area to drive more air within a small space. Further, the unexpected sound is enhanced by MaxxBass technology for greater bass performance and tuned to Altec Lansing audio standards for a richer overall listening experience. And, itts all wrapped up in a package thatts similar in thickness to a DVD case.
