Altec Lansing SoundBlade Wireless Speaker System with Bluetooth Technology

The Altec Lansing SoundBlade Wireless Speaker System with Bluetooth Technology brings the music on your mobile phone to life with a powerful, immersive experience. The speaker system replaces headphone listening with the crisp, clean sound of a matched pair of two-inch, lightweight neodymium drivers, enhanced with the perception of deep, rich bass thanks to SRS Trubass technology. Think of the SoundBlade as an amplifed extension of your music-enabled Stereo Bluetooth mobile phone. Speakerphone functionality is icing on the cake.
Listen to your favorite tunes on your mobile phone. Hear a call come in through the speakers. Take the call with the touch of a button. End the call with the same button. And get back to enjoying your music.
The A2DP standard enables the wireless transmission of full stereo sound to other Bluetooth devices, such as the SoundBlade. Before proceeding with setup, ensure your phone supports A2DP Bluetooth connectivity. Consult your mobile phone’s packaging, user’s manual or manufacturer’s website for this information.
