INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the extraordinary world of Altec Lansing Multimedia high fidelity sound.

The Altec Lansing Multimedia Computer Speaker System provides the best computer audio output possible. Connect these computer speakers to a PC audio card for high quality audio to enhance music, games and PC entertainment.

DESCRIPTION

PLACEMENT OF SPEAKERS

All stereo information is heard from the satellite speak- ers. The subwoofer contains no stereo information and sound is non-directional. As a result, the subwoofer does not necessarily have to be placed in any particular rela- tionship to the satellites. Placing the subwoofer on the floor close to the wall provides maximum bass efficiency. The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and should not be placed near video displays.

The AVS300 is an amplified speaker system featuring a subwoofer for extended low frequency response and high quality multimedia performance. A patented control circuit automatically boosts bass at low volume to main- tain musical sound “realism”.

The satellite speakers are magnetically shielded to pre- vent color distortion on video displays. However, the subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and should be placed on the floor away from the computer monitor or television.

The AVS300 is compatible with popular gaming systems, desktop and laptop computers, home stereo and portable music systems and most other audio devices.

INTRODUCCIÓN

Bienvenidos al extraordinario mundo del sonido multime- dia de alta fidelidad de Altec Lansing. El sistema de boci- nas para computadora multimedia de Altec Lansing pro- porciona la mejor salida de audio posible para su com- putadora.

Conecte estas bocinas para computadora a la tarjeta de sonido de una PC para que el audio de alta calidad mejore la música, los juegos y el entretenimiento con la PC.

DESCRIPCIÓN

Las AVS300 son un sistema de bocinas amplificado que contiene un subwoofer para una respuesta de baja fre- cuencia extensa y desempeño multimedia de alta cali- dad. Un circuito de control patentado automáticamente impulsa los sonidos graves en un volumen bajo para mantener el "realismo" del sonido musical.

Las bocinas satélite están blindadas magnéticamente para evitar la distorsión de color en las pantallas de video. Sin embargo, el subwoofer no está blindado mag- néticamente y se debe colocar en el piso lejos del moni- tor de la computadora o la televisión.

Las AVS300 son compatibles con los sistemas de juegos más populares, computadoras de escritorio y portátiles, sistemas estereofónicos domésticos y sistemas portátiles de música así como la mayoría del resto de los dispositivos de audio.
