Win superb speakers from Altec Lansing

This month, MacFormat has teamed up with Altec Lansing, which has consistently impressed us over the last few years with well-built and superb-sounding speakers for Macs and iPods alike.

Altec Lansing manufactures so many different variants of speaker that it makes your head spin, but we have yet to see a poorly built model carrying this brand. The prizes on offer in this competition are two models from the new range. Up for grabs are one of three first-prize T612-powered audio systems with their own iPod-docking bays and remotes, or one of ten Orbit-MP3 portable speakers for slipping into your backpack and taking on the road.

The T612 is a flagship release from Altec Lansing. It’s a thoroughly well-built desktop speaker for iPods or iPhones, and comes with a nifty little remote to boot. Audio inputs will even support a signal from your Mac, and whatever the source, expect buckets of undistorted sound at any volume. Everything about it oozes engineering prowess, and it has every feature we could ask for without getting bogged down in showy gadgetry. It’s a superb desktop system that will amplify your iPod, iPhone or Mac.

Enter this competition and you also get the chance to win one of ten excellent runner-up prizes: Orbit-MP3 speakers. These are about the best portable speakers for an iPod we’ve seen. They take a 3.5mm jack and sound brilliant in small areas.
