Altec Lansing 115
Period catalogs document nothing about the Altec Lansing 115. One brief measurement appears in HiFi-Stereo (January 1993, p.46), showing frequency response within 5 dB from 800 Hz to 11 kHz. The model number appears in no service manuals, and no known reviews survive in the materials for Altec Lansing's extensive product line. The "115" may have been a very short-run variant, a factory code, or a mislabel that has since been lost to the record.
Here is what can be said with confidence. Altec Lansing built a wide range of professional and home loudspeaker systems from the 1940s through the 1970s, including the 604 Duplex, the Voice of the Theatre series, and the later Valencia and Model 19 consumer speakers. If the 115 followed the brand's typical naming conventions, it would have been a two-way system with an Altec compression driver and a bass reflex or horn-loaded enclosure. That is speculation, not fact.
If you own an Altec Lansing 115 - a driver, a cabinet, a crossover - and can provide photographs, markings, or measurements, the Archive would welcome the documentation.
