NEW YORK, NY, Oct 20, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- PLT | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Today, Altec Lansing introduced its new Stage-Gig(TM) speaker system at the College Music Journal (CMJ) Music Festival in New York. Stage-Gig is a portable amplified speaker designed specifically for use with Rock Band(R), Guitar Hero(R) and DJ Hero(R) games on any gaming platform. Delivering big sound and authentic roadie portability, Stage-Gig makes the concert gaming experience feel even more real.

"Stage-Gig is the first speaker system designed from the ground up for use with Rock Band, Guitar Hero and DJ Hero," explains Don Milks, senior manager of product management at Altec Lansing. "By amplifying the audio, Stage-Gig makes the games feel even more like you are playing in a live concert. Stage-Gig works especially well with multi-instrument games, where the drums and bass guitar are often lost when heard through traditional TV speakers."

Forty watts of power provide thrilling sound in a tour-sized unit. With a 6.5" high-performance woofer and a specially engineered horn-loaded silk tweeter, Stage-Gig delivers every note clear and clean. The woofer provides dramatically more bass than most TV speakers.

Roadie tested -- with a grab-and-go handle, rugged finish, corner guards and old-school amp knobs -- Stage-Gig is easy to move around the house or neighborhood. Music gamers can quickly daisy-chain multiple Stage-Gigs together with the built-in AC outlet and RCA connections to go even bigger with the sound.

The Stage-Gig is compatible with just about any gaming console, including Microsoft(R) Xbox 360(R), Nintendo Wii(R) and Sony(R) PlayStation(R) 2 & 3.

Features

--  High performance design -- 40 Watts of RMS power provide big sound in
    a tour-sized unit.

    wide dispersion.
--  Linkable -- Daisy-chain Stage-Gigs together, plug-and-play style, for
    multi player Guitar Hero or Rock Band parties.
--  Top-mounted controls -- Easy to reach while you are playing.
--  Roadie styling -- Tough design with corner guards means Stage-Gig can
    survive the road.
--  Portable -- Grab handle and lightweight design are made to move.
--  Inputs -- Jack in and crank up your Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo Wii or
    Sony PlayStation, no fuss.
