The VoicePod(TM) is a USB-based PC peripheral that allows users to easily record and attach high-quality voice files to documents and e-mail messages with the touch of a button. Slightly larger than a standard computer mouse, the VoicePod also functions as a high quality I/O device and can be used for a variety of other audio applications including voice command and web-based teleconferencing or audio chat.

This computer appliance is a productivity enhancing tool for work or home which with the touch of a button can easily enhance photos, documents and visual aids with the human voice.

Also being showcased is InteliMic(TM), the industry's most advanced digital microphone which can be modified to focus voice capture in a user-controlled area.

Utilizing Altec Lansing's Clarix(TM) set of noise reduction and voice capture technologies, the InteliMic is able to digitally eliminate ambient or extraneous sounds and process only the user's voice. The InteliMic is ideal for all applications that require high-quality voice capture including speech recognition and computer telephony.

``Our suite of technologies known as Clarix is the first introduction of advanced technologies that Altec Lansing is bringing to the public in the new millennium,'' said Jay Caras, Vice President, Strategic Planning for Altec Lansing Technologies, Inc. ``The company recognizes the importance of future audio and communications technological initiatives and has placed a significant amount of resources in these areas.''

The ATP3, a stylish new 3-piece system with a thin profile design, breaks the mold of the conventional speaker with its sophisticated, contemporary design. This audio system has a total 25 watts of power and includes two satellites and a subwoofer uniting a new slim design with great high-quality performance.

Exclusive microdriver technology is embedded into each satellite providing superior sound quality in this slim form- factor. Two 28 mm microdrivers and a 3 inch suboofer are included in each satellite. The satellites are approximately 1 inch in width at the thickest point and are accented by a powered subwoofer extending low frequency response.

The unit is ideal for consumers searching for a uniquely styled, high performance audio solution.

``The physical design of the new ATP3 will be an important form factor for the new millennium,'' said Meg Tipton, Marketing Manager for Altec Lansing Technologies, Inc. ``The sleek and contemporary design paired with unmatched Altec Lansing quality audio make this new product a unique, high quality audio solution.''
