Altec Lansing inMotion Portable Audio Speaker System for iPod MP3 Players

iPod Just Got Better! You've got a gazillion hours of music stored on your iPod but until now, you've been the only one dancing. Introducing the Altec Lansing inMotion portable audio system. This tiny, ultraportable, battery-operated stereo system is the first powered audio system designed exclusively for the Apple iPod. A highly efficient Class D amplifier powers four full-range specially designed neodymium micro drivers to deliver a full spectrum of pure, distinct sound, while the revolutionary MaxxBass technology allows listeners to enjoy deep bass without lugging large speakers around. Best of all, connectivity is as easy as placing your iPod into the built-in iPod dock or connecting it through the auxiliary port. With its compact design, ultra-low battery power consumption, powerful class-D amplifier, patented MaxxBass technology, and even a built-in iPod dock, inMotion gives you performance you'd never have thought possible from a portable audio system.

Great bass in a portable audio system! Deep quality bass brings music to life. Unfortunately, traditional portable audio systems have been unable to produce low end that puts a real thump in your favorite music. This is not the case with the Altec Lansing inMotion. Its sound quality rivals that of systems many times its size. You've never heard such expansive sound from such a small system before.

Everyone loves Apple's portable iPod digital music player, and taking music with you on the road can be a life saver. But you probably don't always feel like putting your headphones on, especially once your back at your hotel room - or if you're organizing the garage or simply making dinner. No bigger than a trade paperback book, inMotion turns your iPod into a platform for convenient, headphone-free listening any time, any place.

When docked inMotion's iPod bay, your music player can perform all the same data transfer and synchronization functions possible via Apple's standard, free-standing iPod dock. inMotion even takes advantage of iPod's alarm feature to create a fully-functioning alarm clock that plays wake-up music of your choice - perfect for travel or dormitory use.

The MaxxBass Algorithm - Utilizing the latest research in psycho-acoustics and the human perception of hearing, MaxxBass allows inMotion users to enjoy the deep bass tones in music by dramatically extending the bass response. MaxxBass generates harmonics that extend inMotion's virtual frequency response up to 1.5 octaves without perceived distortion or increased power consumption. MaxxBass simultaneously reduces the stress on inMotion's micro drivers and amplifier while it compensates for its limitations. The innovative process allows the creation of deeper, more natural sounding bass tones.

Low Power Consumption - Because MaxxBass enhances the perception of bass rather than forcing the system to deliver frequencies it cannot reproduce, power consumption is exceptionally low. In addition, inMotion is equipped with a highly efficient Class D amplification system and full-range neodymium Micro Drivers, which maximize power output and extend battery life even further - up to 24 hours on a dual set of AA batteries. For desktop or other indoor use, inMotion also includes an AC power supply that recharges the iPod anytime it sits in the inMotion docking bay.

Natural-sounding Bass - The bass signal is analyzed by MaxxBass, which creates a carefully calculated series of low frequency harmonics. The dynamics and loudness of the original bass signal are duplicated in these harmonics to create the most naturalsounding enhancement of the original bass.
