Altec Lansing VS4621 (Octane 7 / Octane Plus)


The Octane Plus features a compact, contemporary design that complements any computer or laptop.

Deep Bass and Full, Accurate Sound
To give you exceptional audio from your desktop or laptop computer, the Octane Plus features down-firing, three-inch, mid-range drivers that blast sound waves onto a hard surface, where they are reflected and evenly distributed throughout your room. The result is clear, well-balanced sound--whether you're watching movies, listening to music, or playing a video game.

In addition to the down-firing mid-range drivers, the Octane Plus also features dual one-inch micro-drivers for clear, detailed highs. Filling out the sound is a powerful 6-1/2-inch side-firing, long-throw subwoofer that delivers substantial bass and lets you fully experience loud explosions, kick drums, thunder, and other low-end effects.

Elegant Design Looks Great On Your Desk
By incorporating down-firing mid-range drivers into its design, the Octane Plus not only creates well-balanced sound, it also takes up very little space. Featuring a bold, contemporary design, the speakers will complement any computer or laptop.

For added convenience, the Octane Plus features separate bass and treble controls that let you fine-tune audio preferences for different music, movies, and games.

Auxiliary Input Jack for Connecting Other Devices
If you have other devices that you'd like to use with the Octane Plus, the integrated 3.5mm input jack lets you connect a second device, such as a smart phone, computer, CD, DVD, or MP3 player.


Controls for volume, treble, and bass are conveniently located on the speaker itself.



A downward-firing mid-range driver and a 6-1/2-inch woofer deliver full-range, well-balanced sound.

Audio Alignment Technology for Balanced Sound
Whether it's the tiniest of ear buds or the most imposing of subwoofers, Altec Lansing has refined every detail of its speakers to provide you with accurate sound reproduction and quality. Audio Alignment ensures that the key audio components work together to deliver your music the way it is meant to be heard, offering the perfect balance of your speaker system's drivers, enclosure, and electronics.
