A column-type speaker system designed for musical instrument use in small performance venues
Overview
The Altec Lansing 1217A is a 2-way, 7-speaker floor-standing column system built for live sound reinforcement in small stages, including night clubs and small halls. This speaker system was engineered to minimize feedback during performances by leveraging a single-directional sound pressure distribution, making it particularly effective when used with microphones on stage. It features six 20 cm cone-type low-range drivers (model 403A) and a high-range horn driver combining the T50 and H600 components.
