Altec Lansing M812

 

Given its priceand its sizeyou might expect more deep bass and less distortion from the Altec Lansing M812, but the speakers tend to falter at higher volumes.

Long wireless range. Attractive. Wall-mountable. System is expandable. Speakers can switch between stereo and mono, to act as half of a stereo pair.

Expensive. Can't handle deep bass at higher volumes. System occasionally loses sync. Poor button layout on remote control.

Altec Lansing Octiv Air M812

 

Can the Altec Lansing Octiv Air M812 offer sound quality to justify its high price?

Altec Lansing Octiv Air review

 

This small, wireless iPod dock and speaker set doubles as an FM radio and has a 3.5mm audio input for other devices, such as a PC.

The Octiv Air works well, but the entire concept makes it a bit of an expensive oddity.

Altec Lansing Octiv Air wireless iPod speaker system

 

If you want a wireless iPod dock that you can add extra speaker units to then the Air is self-recommending. The limited remote control content navigation is a big drawback, though.

While it may be an answer to a question we hadn't previously asked, we rather like the Air, the slightly ill-thought out remote control issues notwithstanding. Cough up for an extra speaker unit and you have a pretty flexible system that can give you...

Great Unit

 

This a great deal for the price. Highs, lows, mids are all audible and sound nice. It's loud enough for my first floor or outside in the yard. The only drawback for me is that the ipod dock must be plugged in for the radio on the speaker unit to work....

Attractive Design ; Easy To Set Up ; Good bass ; Good Power Output ; Great Sound Quality ; Loud Enough For Outside

Both Units Need To Be On
