Altec 422
Not much is documented about the Altec 422 loudspeaker. The record shows a compact two-way design with a 10" woofer and a 1" tweeter. It is rated at 16 watts, with a frequency response of 60 Hz to 22 kHz and an 8-ohm impedance. That is about all that can be verified. No production years, original pricing, dimensions or cabinet details have surfaced.
The 422 does show up in period trade advertising. Later references in Sound and Communication (February 1991, p.35) show it promoted as part of Altec's commercial product line. That points to a long production run, or at least a model name that persisted across decades in different incarnations.
