Report excellent quality / price at the time, it seems to me that it was costing less than € 100 and I do not think you could find better at this price today in terms of value for money / power.Ī buy eyes closed if you find one secondhand, it will just provide the place for the subwoofer, you can not have everything.

Altec Lansing has been around close to two decades but its presence in the Philippines have been inconsistent in the past years so still many are not familiar with them. Such is the case of the Altec Lansing Circus, 1 2.1 speaker channel set at a sub-Php3k range. Does it have all the bells and whistles? Here’s a quick review. The Circus is offered in a two-colored facet that can easily complement your PC or laptop. Two small speakers are made in a way that the speaker unit itself protrudes much at the back, but is not in any way a hindrance to the overall balance as it is supported by the equally-proportioned stand. The speaker’s front part is painted in a glossy black finish that can be a host of fingerprint smudges, but is easily removable. The main round speaker is embossed inside, and is accentuated by a small red lining that highlights it. There’s also that huge Altec Lansing logo on top of each speaker, but we think it’s quite a large one and destroys the overall aesthetic. The big subwoofer, on the other hand, may look hard to carry but is the exactly opposite as we found it to be well-hefted enough to be carried around. It consists of a large bass speaker in front, covered with a sheer fabric. There’s also an accentuating red ring at the bottom that houses the bass port. It’s odd that the subwoofer is done in a matte black finish compared to the glossy speakers, but we’re not compalining.Īt the back are the usual ports you’ll have for your audio - RCA ports are placed for the left and right speaker, as well as for the volume control which acts as another input port for your own headphones. There’s also the power switch, and the attached wire for direct plugging into an AC socket.

There’s also an attachable control that lets you insert an audio input and a microphone, and also adjusts your volume.
