Altec Lansing 1207C
A column-type speaker system designed for musical instruments, built for live sound in small venues.
Overview
The Altec Lansing 1207C is a floor-standing, column-type speaker system developed specifically for use with musical instruments. Manufactured by Altec, it was engineered for deployment in small halls and night clubs, where controlled sound projection and feedback resistance were critical. Its vertical array design uses six identical drivers stacked in a line, creating a focused vertical dispersion pattern that minimizes howling into microphones on stage—a key advantage in live performance environments.
