Superior Sound Quality, Convenient Wedge Design and Free Music Mix App Makes the Octiv Duo the Must Have Solution for Multiple Music Devices
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 21 October, 2010 – Today, Altec Lansing introduced the new Octiv Duo (M202) dual docking and charging speaker system and free Music Mix App to give multiple device households a way to play and charge their iPod and iPhones simultaneously.
The Octiv Duo lets users enjoy crystal clear sound while charging and sharing playlists from two devices at once. Charge a third device through the built-in USB port and expand the musical player options with the aux-in. With a compact wedge design, the Octiv Duo is perfect for limited spaces such as corners in the kitchen or on the nightstand. The included full-featured remote allows easy playlist access and control from across the room.
“The Octiv Duo takes into account the rapidly growing number of multi-device households, and makes life easier by acting as a dual docking speaker and charging station,” said Chris Brown, Regional Sales Director, Altec Lansing Australia and New Zealand, “When combined with the Music Mix app the Octiv Duo lets you listen to songs from both devices and share music between playlists.”
The free Music Mix app shuffles songs from both players and allows users to easily set the percentage of music played from each iPhone or iPod while docked. Also included is the free Altec Lansing Alarm Rock app, which turns the Octiv Duo into a fully functioning alarm clock, making it the ultimate multi-tasking device. Users can choose to wake up or sleep to their favourite audio files and songs, while enjoying a fully customisable interface to match every style. Once docked, users are given the option to download these free apps directly from the Apple Store.
