XdB bass-enhancement gives deep powerful bass without a subwoofer. View larger. | Big, Full-Bodied Sound
Employing four specially engineered drivers (two 3-inch full-range drivers and two silkdome 1-inch tweeters), the T612 offers smooth, rich sound through the full audio spectrum. Even without a subwoofer, the bass is deep and powerful, thanks to the XdB bass-enhancement technology. The T612 provides a system response from 60 Hz to 20 kHz. The built-in amplification provides 60 Watts of power RMS (120 Watts Peak), enough power to fill an entire room with dynamic music. No More Mobile Interference
Unlike most speaker systems, the T612 is shielded from the noise emitted by mobile phones. The upshot is that you won't miss any phone calls because you don't need to put your iPhone in airplane mode just to listen to your music. When you do receive a call, the T612 will automatically pause the music to ensure that you hear your call. Elegant, Versatile Design
With a minimalist and elegant silver-and-black design, the T612 will look great placed on a table in your living room or mounted on the wall. (A wall-mounting kit is available separately.) A built-in dock places your iPhone or dockable iPod at an easy-to-see angle in the center of the system while charging it. Also, an auxiliary stereo input lets you connect another MP3 or CD player to the system. A wireless remote is included, allowing you to control such functions as track forward/back, volume, and bass/treble levels from across the room. The Altec Lansing T612 is backed by a one-year warranty. What's in the Box
T612 speaker system, remote control with battery, 3.5mm stereo cable, power supply, user manual and quick connect guide.

Excellent product, sound quality very good, and the look is very impressive. Just a note make sure you changed the piece where you dock your iPod denpending on the type of iPod you have.
 iPhone 3G dock adapter NOT INCLUDED! November 5, 2008

I just received my speakers from Amazon. If you are planning on using these speakers with an iPhone3G then be prepared to spend another $3 for the dock even though it's advertised as 3G capable. Calling Altec Lansing about the missing dock adapter will get you every excuse in the book:
"Apple does not provide spec's prior to release so we don't have time to include it in the box."
"The t612 was designed for the original iPhone, that's why it doesn't come with the adapter."
"It still works with the iPhone 3G, just remove the adapter provided and your phone will slide right on there. We understand that it doesn't sit on there solidly but it still works..."*
*My car technically works riding on the rims too but you don't see me doing that, now do you?!?
I don't care if all they want is $3 for the shipping. Selling the unit as iPhone 3G capable is false advertising and Altec Lansing and Amazon should either provide the dock adapter free of charge (that includes shipping) or stop selling them as iPhone 3G capable!
Wow! October 31, 2008

One word describes this product - Wow!
I am amazed at the sound that the Altec Speakers produce. Rivals my full stereo system - Onkyo / Axiom floor standing speakers.
In fact, many times I forget that I am listening to my iPod Touch on the Altec Lansing system and think that I am listening to the regular stereo.
Having a solar PV system for my house, i am extremely energy conscious. This uses 1/3 the power of my Onkyo system.
Want free satellite like radio. If you have the bandwidth - recommend 3MB or higher if your ISP allows this option, you can download Pandora (free app), select band / artist, hit play and enjoy commercial free hits in the same genre - very similar to new Genius option with iTunes. Great for parties.
The Altec Speaker system is a phenomenal product!!!
For 2G Ipod Touch October 21, 2008

The current price of 131 is a very good deal. I paid full price for this unit.
Since this does not have a clock or radio, my main purpose of buying this was to get a decent sound on an ipod player. Also, it had to work with 2G Ipod Touch or 3G phone (both charge and play--many unit will play but not charge these new Ipod models).
The choices are few. Some JBLs and Bose (System II), and Polk Audio. I do not know if the more expensive hifi brands work with 2G Touch; I just didn't want to spend 500-600 dollars for an ipod station.
This unit has much more power than the JBLs I tested. The Klipsh units (like IGroove) will not charge IPod touch 2G, although they have excellent sound.
So it came down to Bose SDII vs this unit, which is now less than half the price of the Bose SDII. They are both very good, but this AL unit can get louder with less distortion, and even at lower volumes separates sounds better. I tested both units, using multiple songs/music (classical solo and orchestra; rock; blues; jazz solos and band; folk; acapella like Take6, among others). I'm not sure what to say about people who say the sound is muddled--well, for some recordings this is true, but a modern folk acoustic album, for example, comes out very crisp and alive, or a violin solo, the sound couldn't be more alive. I think I did a fair comparison of these units, and believe the AL unit may be better, and certainly a much better value. The bass/treble control is also quite excellent.
