Altec Lansing T612

I am now planning to get the Altec Lansing T612 since it seems it is shielded, and charges the 3G. Before I take the plunge I have a few questions for folks who already have one.
First off, how is the sound quality, and is the device capable of filling a room? I would like to make this device my primary home stereo.
Second, if it charges both the original iphone (firewire, 12V) and the 3G (usb, 5V) how is that accomplished? Are there different fittings for both phones that come with electronics to step down the voltage for the 3G?
Third, anything else that I should know about?
Thanks for your help

I've had the T612 and it works perfectly with the iPhone. The sound easily fills the room and it works exactly like stated.
Note that when it arrives, you will need to take out the current dock insert, which is designed for the 1st Gen iPhone. The 3G, though, works perfectly once you take out the insert.
I also like the remote - so lazy me can sit on the sofa and just use the remote to skip ahead...and the fact that it functions without putting the 3G in airplane mode. When it rings, it fades out the music, and allows you to pick up the phone to talk. When done, and you put it back - it picks up right where you left off.
Finally -- it charges perfectly. Works like a charm.

  • Itouch adapter for altec lansing player?

    hi all
    I recently purchased this altec Lansing device for my home to play my ipod touch on. i have the 16 gig latest ipod touch but when i got the altec lansing it doesn't fit onto the cradle.
    this is it

    i checked the box and there are no adapters for it. altec says i need to buy it from apple or it should have come with my ipod, which it didn't
    can anyone tell me what i need and where to get it so i can make this work??
    thanks much

    Hi,
    If you haven't already, take everything out of the iPod touch box. A Dock adapter should have been included in the box, as mentioned in these articles:

    You can get the Universal Dock Adapters for the iPod touch from an Apple retail store or the Apple online store.

  • Altec Lansing imMini no longer works with Nano

    Hey,
    I have a the Altec Lansing imMini speakers - which I originally bought for my Mini. When I bought the Nano, the speakers worked perfectly - though the Nano was slightly off-center. Recently, it only works occasionally (after a few plug/unplugs). Now, it doesn't seem to work at all.
    The Nano still charges but no sound comes out (except the pathetic squeaking sound that the iPod makes when it first connects to the speakers).
    Anyone else experienced similar erratic problems with Altec Lansing speakers - or in fact, anything at all that connects to the dock-connector?

    Thanks dwb - it seems to have done the trick (for now, anyway!) Really appreciate your help.

  • On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion. They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my imac

    On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my iMac. reset Pram - no luck. took speakers from wife's desktop, they
    do not work when jack plugged into my iMac - Sys Prefs "SOUND" only lists "internal speakers/ built in" as available options.
    I used my altec lansing speakers on 3 macs including this one for 5-6 years.....now with Mountian Lion I can only get internal speakers???
    Ideas? Any/All help would be greatly appreciated - been going nuts with this for 2 days now.

    Hi,
    When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
    When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
    The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
    These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
    Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
    In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
    Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
    This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
    You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
    You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
    I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
    There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
    No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
    Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
    In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
    In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

  • 2 of 4 speakers and Subwoofer not working for Altec Lansing Lucasfilms THX Surround (circa 2003)

    I am attempting to connect my Altec Lansing Lucasfilm THX 5.1 sound system to my HP ENVY All-in-one. I think the original audio card for the sound system came on a Dell with Soundblaster. 
    I have connected the green audio to the jack in the back which only gets 2 of the 4 speakers working (even after configuring the speakers). The subwoofer is connected to the sub jack in the back panel as well and is not working at all. I realize that I am trying to have an ancient sound system work with my fancy new HP Envy. Am I asking too much??  I thought maybe a driver update might be needed. But in theory, if those jacks are available in the back it should work (she says optimistically).
    Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

    Not a problem.  Thank you for the additional information.
    It sounds like you have the speakers connected correctly.  If there is only one connector for all of the speakers, it may be that you will only be able to use two of them.  However, I am not certain why the subwoofer isn't working.  Is it selected in the Control Panel / Sound?  I realize that you said the speakers are configured in the Control Panel, but is the subwoofer separate?
    I have an old (2001) Polk Audio set of speakers.  I have only been able to get two of them and the subwoofer to work with my new HP computer.  It sounds fine without the other two speakers.

  • HP Altec Lansing Speakers

    Hi,
    I have the HP DV6-3126sa with built in Altec Lansing speakers.
    The problem is when im listening to stuff say on YouTube, when it hits a certain pitch it starts to buzz/whistle.
    I have tried playing around with the Sound Control settings in Equaliser and turning it down a bit but it still does it.
    What I have noticed is when its whistling/buzzing, if I press down on the bottom left of the laptop where the speakers are it kills the problem, but I cant sit doing that all the time.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    I have also found another 3 threads with this problem that has no answers... is this known to HP?

  • Altec Lansing sound not working dv6 3133tx

    I'm not sure if its not working or not, but my right internal speaker stopped working but my left internal speaker is still working ( Dolby Advanced audio) so now i can only hear from that speaker. Is there any way to get the speaker to start working again. Or maybe theres a way to turn on my Altec Lansing sound speaker?
    P.S: I just got my laptop a week ago......................

    A couple of things that might help out.
    First try connecting and disconnecting your earbuds 5 - 6 times.
    This might clear out any debris that might be in the headphone port.
    Also, try a reset on the iphone.

  • Audigy 4 connected to Altec Lansing ADA

    thanks inadvance

    Hey!? Fourteen people have viewed my post but no replies. What is wrong? Is it too difficult for all of you Gooroos out there or what? How about a reply from one of you hot Creative tecs!? While I am rather simple minded about these things, it seems like a simple enough problem for those of you who know this stuff. I have a nice new sound card that I can't hook to my speaker system. Help!

  • Connecting Altec Lansing FX5051 USB speakers to DV-1235dx

    Hi All,

    please let me know how to solve this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have some more clues/data...
    If I connect the XT1 USB Speakers to my PowerBook G4 running 10.4.8, everything works perfectly, reboot, power-up, everything.
    One difference I noticed, on the PowerBook, the XT1's blue power LED is lit a second or two before the gray apple appears on boot and stays solid blue from that point on.
    On the Mac Pro, the XT1's blue power LED is lit a second or two before the gray apple appears (like the PB) BUT shortly after the gray apple appears the blue LED flashes for less than a second.
    If the Mac Pro USB Audio driver mutes the XT1 the blue LED will go out. If the USB power flickers the blue LED will go out.
    More clues, more confused.

  • Speakers Altec Lansing VS-3151 Connecting to HP Pavilion a1130n

    I've successfully been using the Altec Lansing Speaker System VS-3151 that I purchased together with my HP Pavilion a650y in 2004. When we recently replaced our desktop, my daughter wanted to inherit the speaker system to use with her HP Pavilion a1130n that was purchased in 2005.  However, we can't determine how to connect those speakers to her desktop. Perhaps there is some kind of converter that we need?

    Ok so how did you do it?

  • Does the Altec Lansing IM500 work with the 2G Nano?

    I can't work out from the Altec Lansing website or Apple Store (or Google) whether the IM500 will work with a 2G Nano. Does anyone here know?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Thanks Richard, it still confuses me because when you follow the link on the icon with a big line through the 2G Nano it doesn't actually say for certain that it won't work on a 2G Nano, just that it works on a 1G Nano. Also, on the Altec website, it suggests it will work with a 1G Nano with a case on it which leads me to question whether it will work or not. I feel a visit to the Apple Store in Bluewater coming on to try things out for myself!

  • Will the TX work with an Altec Lansing IMT1 speaker dock

    Hi all,
    I have a palm tx and an altec lansing inmotion (imt1) speaker dock.  When i plug my TX into it, i cannot hear any sounds through the imt1 speakers.  I can only hear sound through the rear speaker on the TX.  The battery symbol has a lightning bolt through it, so i assume that it is making a connection to the dock and is charging.  I am only using the main docking part, and not any other cables to make a connection between the two.  The imt1 is powered on, and the setting is turned to the music setting.  Hope that someone can help me out here.  thanks
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    i havent tried it, but i dont see any reason it wont work.

  • Is Altec Lansing InMotion3 compatible with Ipod Nano

    I have tried the Nano with IM3 today in a store, it can plug in the docking connector and sounds perfectly OK but the store staff warns me that IM3 is not certified to be compatible with Nano. Nano may be prone to physical damage when using with IM3. His words have scared me off but currently I find the IM3 the only available speakers with dock that suit my needs. Any help here?

    According to Altec Lansing's Web site, the InMotion series is compatible with our nanos!
    I do not quite understand your salesperson's paranoia. I bought a Griffin 12VDC car charger for iPods...Although it doesn not state, "For nano!" on the packaging, it works fine.

  • HT2494 Good afternoon, I have a set of 5 speakers + 1 subwoofer 5.1 from Altec Lansing and I would like to connect the 3 cables - 1 black + 1 yellow + 1 green - to my new i-mac. What connection type do I need? And where I can connect it? BR Pascal

    Good afternoon,
    I have a set of 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer 5.1 from Altec Lansing and I would like to connect the 3 exit cables  - 1 black + 1 green + 1 yellow - to my new i-mac 22" - acquired last week - equipped with only 4 USB 3.0 + 2 Thunderbolt + 1 Ethernet + 1 jack for micro or speaker.
    What connector type do I need? And where can I connect ot?
    Many thanks in advance for your help
    Best regards
    Pascal Quennesson

    Sorry you cannot
    That speaker system is for sound cards on PC's which separate the channels, the Mac's don't seperate the channels or decode surround sound formats  and only pass the 5.1 through the dual analog/optical stereo mini port.
    You might find a external device that accepts Toslink optical inputs and then separates the channels and sends the appropriate signal to the powered speakers.

  • Need to know which altec lansing speakers i have...

    I blown off my speakers...i just need to know that which altec lasning speakers i have...that i can search on internet...please help...

    Hello MeetDave,
    Take a look in your Maintenance and Service Guide Manual, which should list all replaceable parts, part numbers, etc.  When I check the "product specifications" page, it says, "SRS Premium Sound with Altec Lansing speakers." 
    If the parts can be replaced, you will find them at HP Partsurfer
    Good luck!
