Many of you have already used an iPod…or at least heard about it. It is the best selling digital music player in history, with millions of devices sold all over the world. The iPod was launched in 2001 by the famous company Apple, and since then it had a great success. It is a really small and portable music player. But even though it is so small, this doesn’t mean that it can store just a few songs.



Actually it can store hundreds and even thousands of songs, so it is much better than the older CD players (that needed audio CD-s, that had just 10 or 15 songs). There are 4 models of iPods, each one with 2 or 3 generations. They are: the iPod Classic, the iPod Nano (that has video capabilities), the iPod Touch (that has a touchscreen technology) and also the iPod Shuffle (which is the smallest one). Some models are also capable of storing other file types, such as games, videos, mails, documents and so on. But the main purpose of an iPod remains the music playing.

So each model of iPod comes with a set of headphones, which you can use to enjoy your favorite music without disturbing the other people around you. But in case you want to share the sound with your friends, then you must use some iPod travel speakers. These are usually small and portable devices, that have integrated speakers and also a docking place for the iPod. So you just take the iPod and the speaker with you, place the iPod into its place, and enjoy the music.

There are many models of iPod speakers, offered by many producers and today we are going to discuss about one of them, the  Altec Lansing iM 9 portable audio system. It has a price of 200 dollars and it will offer you quite a good sound for your iPod. With a weight of just 4 lbs it is easy to carry and you can take it anywhere you go.

The sound offered will have a high quality and also a high volume and the device is also shock resistant in case you drop it while you are on the road. Most of the users that bought this speaker were really happy with it, and that’s why the overall rating is 4.3 out of 5 stars. And other professional sites that reviewed this speaker were also very pleased with it, giving the perfect score: 5 out of 5 stars.

Altec Lansing is one of the biggest producers of audio equipment in the world, and it is making good speakers and other devices since the 1920’s. Today it is producing many types of speakers, such as: stereo speakers, 2.1 systems, surround sound systems, subwoofers, USB speakers and also iPod speakers. Throughout its great history, the company has brought many innovations to the audio market, and it is actually the first company to produce iPod speakers. Today the iPod is really popular among teenagers (but not only) and so are the iPod speakers. Almost every big audio producer is making some kind of iPod docks.



As you may already know, the iPod is a very small and lightweight digital music player. It is so small that you can even forget that you have it in your pocket. But being so small, does not mean it can store just a few songs. Actually the iPods have a much better memory than an old CD player, and you can store hundreds of songs on an iPod. Usually any iPod has a set of headphones  which you can use to enjoy your favorite music without disturbing the others around you.



But sometimes you may want to share the music with others…for example when being at a picnic or at a party. So that’s why you must have an iPod dock. An iPod is usually a small device (with the look of a classical stereo player or radio) that has 2 or more integrated speakers, and also a docking place for the iPod.

Like we said before, there are many producers making iPod docks, but today we are going to talk about some Altec Lansing iPod speakers. Altec Lansing is offering many models, and one of them is the T 612. Usually the iPod docks are not that powerful, but this one has quite a good total power of 60 watts RMS (and a peak power of 120 watts). So you can easily use this one for outdoor activities, and even for a party. You can also connect an iPhone to this speaker, and even when the iPhone is ringing it won’t interfere with the speaker, because it is magnetically shielded. The Altec Lansing iPod speaker also comes with a very useful remote control, that will allow you to change the volume and the tracks from distance. So after all it will give quite a nice and powerful sound with quite a good bass too.



There are many other models, but for today we’ll discuss just one more. We’ll take the inMotion iM3C speaker. This one also has quite a nice design, a good sound and also a good bass, due to its Maxx Bass technology. It is compatible with most of the iPod models, and it also comes with a useful remote control. It requires 4 batteries and has a continuous playing time of 24 hours. It has dimensions of 8 inch W x 1.1 inch D x 5.5 inch H, so it’s not that big. It is not compatible just with the iPod, and you can also connect it to other music sources such as  a computer, a laptop, a CD or an MP3 player.

Since the creation of the computers a long time ago, people were also interested in attaching a sound device to the computer. Usually all the computers or laptops are having some kind of included speakers. These can be integrated (in the case of laptops) or can be small stereo speakers. But they are usually not so good or powerful, and most of the people prefer to buy some new set of speakers. There are different options for you, depending on what sound quality, power and also budget you have. If you are not looking for something very powerful you can also choose some other stereo speakers, better than the ones included on your computer. But if you want a little more than this, then get a 2.1 audio system. Beside the two stereo speakers, it also has a subwoofer. This kind of device (the subwoofer) will bring the deep and low frequencies, in another word the bass. And this will bring a new dimension to your music and games, and will make the windows and your body to vibrate (when turned really loud). Better than the 2.1 systems are the surround sound system. These can be 5.1 or 7.1. The 5.1 are having a center channel (responsible for the high sounds, such as voice), a subwoofer (which brings the bass) and also 4 satellite speakers (which will give you the surround feeling, if they are placed correctly. The 7.1 has 2 more satellite speakers than the 5.1  but of course …if you want something powerful, but you don’t to fill your room with many speakers and wires, then you can choose some floor standing speakers. These are usually tall, slim, but also very heavy and they will give a good and powerful sound. If you want to take the party outside then you can choose some outdoor speakers, or if you want the sound coming from your walls or ceiling then you can buy some in-wall or in-ceiling speakers.

There are many audio producers to choose from, and one of the biggest and famous is Altec Lansing. The company has a great history and experience so you know that its products have a good quality. It is one of the oldest in this domain, and was founded back in the 1920’s. Through the years the company brought many inventions and innovations to the audio market and it  expanded all over the world. Today it is producing all kinds of speakers from computer speakers to headphones or iPod speakers.


Today we are going to talk about one of its products, the Altec Lansing VS 4121 blk computer speakers. These are pretty nice looking speakers with a simple and compact design but also with a good performance.

As you can notice there are 2 speakers and  a subwoofer, this means it is a 2.1 audio system. The tweeters included in the stereo speakers will brink crisp and clear highs while the midrange drivers will bring the middle frequencies and will disperse the sound around the whole room. The sound range will be completed by the subwoofer which gives a deep and powerful bass, making your music sound like in a club, or your movies sound like in the cinema. This versatile and compact system fits anywhere and sounds great everywhere.


Now let’s talk about some of the technical specifications for this system. The sound pressure level is 97 dB and the total power is 31 watts RMS. Well this is not something that will rock your room and disturb your neighbors but it is pretty good for a small room or office. The power is divided into 6 watts for each satellite speaker and 19 watts for the subwoofer. The frequency response for the system is between 25 hz and 15.000 hz which is pretty good for a small system like this.  The signal to noise ratio is > 73 dB and here are the dimensions: a satellite speaker has 4 inches width, 4.7 inches in depth and 9.2 inches in height and the subwoofer has 8 inches width, 9.9 inches depth and 13.6 inches in height.



If you are wondering what is that small and thin component, well that is the control unit. It’s much easier to have a component like this instead of having the control buttons on the subwoofer. The subwoofer usually stays under the desk (to have the best quality of the bass), and it can be difficult for you to reach under the desk each time you want to change the volumes. But with this control unit it is much easier, and you can place it wherever you want, so it can be easy to access. It features the overall volume button, the on and off power button and also the volumes for the bass and treble.

The two satellite speakers are also magnetically shielded, so they can be easily placed near a monitor or TV, without interfering with them. The system also has a headphones jack , for the times when you want to enjoy your music in privacy, without disturbing the others around you. The cables are each colored in a different way, to make the installation as easy as possible.



If you are wondering what the others users are saying, well you should know that they were pretty happy of this product, and the average rating is 4 stars out of 5.

We forgot to mention the price for this system. Well it is somewhere around 70 dollars, and this is not quit expensive. So after all it is a good audio system which will worth its money. Enjoy!
