Altec Lansing VS4121

The VS4121 from Altec Lansing is a multimedia speaker system designed to be used with a personal computer. The system consists of 2 satellite speakers and a subwoofer. The two satellite speakers each measure approximately 4 x 9.2 x 4.7 inches (W x H x D) while the subwoofer measures 8 x 13.6 x 9.9 inches (W x H x D). The Altec Lansing VS4121 is available in a sleek black and silver color scheme and features a compact, low profile design that complements the look of a computer’s flat panel display.

The Altec Lansing VS4121 has controls for powering the speaker on and off as well as for adjusting the bass, treble and volume levels. The control knobs as well as the mini stereo 3.5 mm headphone jack are located on the face of one of the satellite speakers.

The speaker package ships with the necessary cables (one audio cable measuring approximately 6 feet and a Console Gaming Y-adapter). The wires are conveniently color-coded to make setting up the VS4121 even easier.

The VS4121’s 2-way satellite speakers utilize full range 1 inch micro drivers and 3 inch mid-bass drivers. Each speaker features 2 micro drivers (which have been specially engineered to provide crisp high end sounds) and a single down-firing mid-bass driver.

The Altec Lansing VS4121’s subwoofer has a front-firing design and features a powerful 6.5 inch long-throw woofer for tight and solid production of low frequency sounds.

    I think Altec Lansing says it best when one of their movies on the web page were saying that it’s not about the amounts of watts but it is about how the sound changes your room. And the Altec Lansing VS4121’s do just that. Read more

    Reviewer: Neoseeker
    02 October 2003

    The great highs and surprisingly great low frequency response leave us with a 8.8 / 10 on the magic scale for the latest speaker set from Altec Lansing. We hope to see more from them throughout the year. If the VS4121 is a sign of things to come then we welcome the future of Altec Lansing sets with open arms as they seem to have their game face on this year. Read more

    Disadvantages: N/A Recommend to potential buyers: yes Full review Before shopping for speakers, try to imagine where you're going to put them in your room. Speakers can be placed on floor stands, hung on wall brackets, or placed on furniture. . In any case, try to keep the center speaker near the same height as the left and right speakers. You can place speakers on shelves or on/in a low cabinet or entertainment center. But the down-firing midrange drivers in each... Read more

    Just got these an hour back and they are one of the best speakers I have ever heard! The tweeters are just too good and they make u hear stuff in your music that u would've never heard before. One word of advice place the speakers a little above the ground as they are downfiring and dont sound nice if placed on a carpetted floor. Now the woofer! It has an awesome frequency response sweet Lows and a supremely brilliant Midrange! something the Logitech series lack. None of... Read more

    The system has an impressive hiss sound when no music is played, the sub sounds very bad, it can't handle low frequencies..the specs are way way tooo far optimistic.When moving the right satellite cord, it introduces avery annoying hiss in the speakers.Overall, nothing but a piece of junk.
