From the press release:

VS2220 — Great Looks, Great Sound, Affordable Price

The new Altec Lansing VS2220 Stereo Speaker System (MSRP $29.95) is a thin, all-black, two-piece satellite set equipped with Altec-engineered 3″ high-fidelity drivers that outperform standard speakers in their category by a clear margin. The system’s wide frequency response range provides exceptional detail and clarity, while a special tone control mechanism allows consumers to adjust high and low frequency settings to suit their personal preference. Both satellites are shielded for use near video monitors, weighted for stability, trimmed in matte and high-gloss black, and finished with a black mesh grill. The system comes with a headphone jack for private listening, color-coded cables for easy installation, and a space-saving internal power supply. Available at leading computer and consumer electronics retailers or www.alteclansing.com in February.

VS2221 — Big Bass in a Sleek Package

The new Altec Lansing VS2221 Stereo Speaker System (MSRP $49.95) is a three-piece powered audio package that introduces new Altec-exclusive XdB (Xtreme Dynamic Bass) technology for a noticeably enhanced bass beat. Add Altec’s SFX Sound Field Expander technology that fills the room at the push of a button, and you get exceptionally big sound in a small package. The two satellite speakers have the same svelte look as the VS2220 with slightly different acoustics that reflect the addition of a long-throw ported subwoofer that rounds out the sound. The satellites are shielded and wall-mountable for flexible installation. The package includes a headphone jack for private listening, color-coded cables for easy installation, and a space-saving internal power supply. Available at leading computer and consumer electronics retailers or www.alteclansing.com in February.

VS4221 — High Fashion, High Performance and a Wireless Remote

The new Altec Lansing VS4221 Stereo Speaker System (MSRP $129.95) fuses high performance with high aesthetics in a visually arresting three-piece package designed to render the sounds of music, video and games in the acoustic equivalent of living color. It’s the only product in its class that comes with a full-featured wireless remote, and the only one with downfiring 3″ midrange drivers that allow mids to reverberate off the satellite surface for dispersal throughout the room. The shielded satellites are rectangular slivers attached to a cone-like base with a pivot mechanism that makes it possible to change the angle for optimal listening, with a companion downfiring 6.5″ subwoofer that matches the satellites’ black and brushed aluminum motif. The VS4221 includes a headphone jack for private listening plus color-coded cables for easy installation. Available at leading computer and consumer electronics retailers or www.alteclansing.com in May.
