One-Cord Connection for Added Convenience
The BXR1220 speakers draw power from your computer via its USB port, so you don’t need to free up an outlet. The speakers are a perfect way to improve the sound quality of your laptop’s speakers, with no extra power cord to pack when you want great sound on the go.

Audio Alignment Technology for Superb Accuracy and Alignment
The BXR1220 relies on Altec Lansing’s proprietary Audio Alignment technology to make sure all of the speakers’ components work together to deliver your music the way it is meant to be heard. Audio Alignment technology offers the perfect balance of the three elements of the speaker system — the drivers, enclosure, and electronics — to ensure a natural, uncolored, and rich sound from your speaker system. The system’s two-inch, full-range drivers and separate satellite speakers provide stereo imaging for more realistic sound when you’re gaming or watching movies and videos.

Designed to Fit Any Computer System
The speakers’ elegant black enclosures and cloth grills complement your computer and peripherals. The speakers’ small size — each speaker measures only 3.7 inches in height — saves valuable room on your desk and makes it easy to carry them along with your laptop.

The BXR1220 components are also shielded, so you can place them close to your monitor or phone without interference. Conveniently placed power and volume buttons put sound control within easy reach.
