NXT Digital Technology Frequency Response
Bring Big Time Entertainment Home
Technology and Simplicity, Together at Last
Patented technology delivers true Voice of the Theater sound
Conventional, cone-shaped drivers push the sound directionally outward from the cone. That means you need several speakers located strategically around the room to provide an optimum surround sound experience. In addition, the cone itself requires a relatively deep cabinet that makes all those speakers hard to locate unobtrusively. In contrast, the PT7031 and PT8051 use counterbalanced, flat-panel drivers that operate over a wide range of bending modes the same principle of physics that makes acoustical instruments work. Its called NXT Digital technology, and it allows full-frequency response that is much wider than a conventional driver's filling the room with clear, super-realistic highs over a full, rich bass. The result is true surround sound ambience with a simple, elegant speaker system thats flat, sleek, understated simply beautiful.

The NXT drivers frequency response is much wider than that of a conventional driver. In addition, as this solution does not require the crossover network associated with conventional drivers, theres no degradation to the signal path. The result is natural, unadulterated sound delivered just as the director intended.
High-definition, widescreen TVs are reaching the magic price point where nearly everyone is itching to get one. But theres a catch. In every case you have to wonder: What about sound? For nearly 80 years, Altec Lansing engineers have been building professional audio systems for theaters, concert halls and production studios. In fact, the original Voice of the Theatre series speakers were the only commercially available theater speakers approved by the Research Council at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Now, were proud to bring Voice of the Theatre audio quality right into your living room with the PT7031 Powered Theater and the PT8051 Wireless Theater speaker systems. Theyre the perfect complements to todays high-def TVs.
