System Specifications*

equalization circuitry, and a harmonious mix of the following specifications:
*Power rating conforms to FTC Amplifier Rule #16 C.F.R. Part 432.
Warning: If you would like to connect an alternate audio source via
the auxiliary input (AUX) — such as a CD player or MP3 player — while
the XT2 is connected to a laptop via the USB port, you must first set
the “Mic in/Wave in” input slider on your laptop to its minimum
position (Please note that this will disable the XT2’s microphone
feature.) Please refer to the “Disabling the Mic in/Wave in Input Slider”
section for details.
For Additional Bass
This speaker system is equipped with a subwoofer jack (“SUB OUT”).
This output should only be used to connect an Altec Lansing optional
subwoofer specifically designed to increase the bass output of this
speaker system. Please check www.alteclansing.com for availability
information.
