 With Expanded Sound Stage technology, the speakers sound further apart than they really are for a bigger soundstage. View larger. View Remote. |
Employing dual two-inch neodymium drivers that are optimized for high-frequency sound, the iM600 offers unmatched musicality and clarity. Despite its compact size, the bass is punchy and has good extension, and with Altec Lansing's Expanded Sound Stage (ESS) technology, the speakers will sound further apart than they actually are, for a greater stereophonic image.
Elegant Design Matches the iPod
The iM600 sports a distinctive thin and elegant glossy-black look. A spring-loaded button deploys the speaker's stand and reveals the iPod dock, power button, and volume controls.
Your iPod perches front and center, resting at an angle to display the current track information and album art while recharging. If your iPod model has the alarm clock and sleep timer features, they will work seamlessly with the iM600.
Various docking adapters are included, making the iM600 compatible with most iPods. Also, an auxiliary input lets you connect any CD, DVD, or MP3 player using a stereo mini-plug.
Built-in FM Tuner
If you get bored with the songs on your iPod, the iM600 has a built-in FM tuner, letting you listen to your favorite music and talk radio. Near the top of the unit is an LCD that displays the current FM frequency; buttons on top provide tuning controls. The tuner also features a memory for four presets and a telescoping antenna for better reception.
Change the Music from Across the Room
A small remote control is included, letting you change the musical selection from across the room. A storage slot built into the system itself makes it easy to store the remote, preventing you from losing it behind couch cushions and other inconvenient places.
Take Your Music To-Go
With a compact size that folds closed to a mere 11 x 1.7 x 6 inches (W x D x H), and weighing only 2.1 pounds, the iM600 is easy to take with you to the beach, on vacation, or wherever you else you're going. The built-in rechargeable Li-Ion battery lets you listen to more than 7 hours of continuous play. An AC adapter is included for connected listening and recharging the battery.
The Altec Lansing iM600 is backed by a one-year warranty.

When searching for a sound dock, it came down to this or the bose dock. I decided that the bose was not worth the extra $$$. I have owned the product for 2 years now and it is working great. Sounds great and has nice base. The pros: great sound, good price point, light weight. The cons: does not charge iphone, does not have AM.

We were looking for an attractive portable device with a decent quality speaker system. We tried this item and it's competition the Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2. The Altec Lansing looks attractive in our home and doesn't take up much space compared to the longer Logitech. We had both systems in the same room and had others give their opinion by playing the same music on each without their knowing which device we were using. They picked the Altac Lansing each time. We all agreed this performed better all the way around. Some have commented they can't fit their iPod into the slot. We are not using any of the inserts supplied just place it on the slot without, no problem. You do have to watch as you insert it that it is over the prongs correctly. I have a plastic protective backing on my iPod and I do not have to remove it to get it to work. We like the fact that it also includes an FM radio as well. It's been great in the house, on our deck/patio and for travel. The newer version came out a couple weeks after we purchased this one. The added features look great but we like the looks of this better. It would be nice to have a remote that includes more and a handle but it costs more. The shiny plastic does show finger prints but I try to handle it carefully to avoid that. The remote is small but works. Wish it came with a case like the Logitech. For the price range and our use this is the best! It also charges your iPod when plugged in and can be used for an alarm, especially nice when away from home. If you want a Bose sound, then you need to move up in price. We have had this for several months and so far so good. We got a 2 year warranty and by that time newer products will be out.

Works well, good value for the money. Bass is weak but what you would expect from such small speakers.

Just wanted to mention, It's nice looking. Very stylish and the sound is very good for my ears. I know someone who has owned this portable audio system for about 2 years and its still works and sounds like new.
