Altec Lansing Company Description
Altec Lansing Technologies (ALT) is in the business of selling sound. The company is a leading manufacturer of speaker systems for consumer PCs, as well as sound accessories, such as headsets, headphones, and docking stations for personal digital media. It also makes home entertainment systems and scales its units to accommodate large venues. ALT traces its name back to audio pioneer James B.
