Listed in: Apple iPhone 3GS Tags: 3gs, apple, ios, news

Altec Lansing today introduced the new MIX (iMT800) digital boombox for iPhone and iPod. The MIX features a retro audio rack-style design and a powerful built-in subwoofer to thump big bass from the heart of your scene. Compatible with both iPhone and iPod, the MIX also includes two top-mounted auxiliary inputs plus onboard FM radio and a seven-band graphic equalizer. Its towering volume, perfect clarity and heavyweight bass make the new MIX the ultimate sound system for any party. "The MIX is the genuine 'next generation' boombox for the way music enthusiasts are playing their music today," said Ed Benforado, Product Category Director. "With rugged style and high end sound, the MIX is perfect for those 'unofficial DJs' who like to start their parties with sound. They can 'mix it up' between three music player inputs -- a 30-pin dock connector for the iPhone and iPod and also two front-facing 3.5mm jacks -- so everyone can jump in with their jams. And we've included heavy-duty carry handles and battery operation to take the MIX on the road or around the house just as easily." Geared to keep the party jumping, the MIX drives your favorite music through specially engineered horn-loaded tweeters and mid-range drivers. The 5.25" side-firing subwoofer and 5.25" tuned passive radiator pump out natural roaring bass, further enhanced with XdB technology for extra heavy punch. A digital 7-band graphic equalizer allows music lovers to quickly tailor the sound to their preferred taste. True to its retro boombox roots, the MIX runs on AC or gives 30 hours of play time on 8 D-cell batteries, even sporting a built-in battery life display. Made for iPod and Apple-certified to "Work with iPhone," the MIX is engineered to be immune to GSM signals, therefore preventing the speakers from picking up potential intermittent noises emitted by the iPhone or other mobile devices. The music pauses and resumes play before and after taking a voice call without ever switching the iPhone to airplane mode. The MIX also includes a clip-on carabineer remote control so you don't lose it at the party. Between parties, a built-in cubby secures the remote so it can always be found.
