Product Description
Altec Lansing's inMotion iM7 sets a new precident in portable audio for the Apple iPod. The clear, crisp sound from the iM7's highly advanced neodymium drivers, tweeters and built-in subwoofer has been called equal to the Bose SoundDock. But the iM7 boasts more than just superb audio - Altec's innovative new features clearly put the iM7 ahead of the pack... Flexibility - The iM7 is a universally compliant portable speaker solution. The ingenious iPod slot, reminiscent of a tape deck cassette holder, adjusts to the dimensions of any docking iPod, including the 3G, 4G and photo models, or an iPod Mini (with the included bracket). Not to be limited by the iPod, Altec provides an extra input jack on the back of the iM7, allowing you to use the speakers with your laptop or any other audio device. Control - You can control volume, bass, treble and track playback with the iM7's IR remote control, or through one of the greatest hardware interfaces of all time: the iPod itself. iPod Photo Support -Composite and S-Video-out jacks are located on the back of the iM7, allowing iPod Photo users to display slideshows while using the high quality Lansing speakers for audio playback. Portability - running off batteries (eight D-size alkalines) or wall power, the iM7 is highly mobile. A rubber-lined handle recess makes for easy transport. Carrying multiple accessories is not a concern: the remote control can be stowed in its built-in garage, and as always, your iPod remains snuggly secure in the integrated, in-line cradle. Taking the iM7 out of the country? No problem. The unit's modular AC adapter includes three snap-on plug adapters. Don't forget your IM7 Shoulder Bag!

 Altec lansing im7 January 14, 2008

Had a good shop around and read the Amazon reviews for this speaker. Purchased it as the reviews were so good. It is a nice looking speaker much better than some of the cheaper speakers I'd seen in the shops. This was bought as a Chrismas present and I was somewhat disappointed when on the day I couldn't use it as my Ipod Nano would not fit. However have since contaced Altec Lansing direct and found out that there are 2 editions of the Nano Ipod and they have now sent out another adapter. Popped in by Ipod in and wow what a sound, very impressed as good as any home entertainment system.

Fab machine I had ipod hifi but no comparison to this machine.
The only negitive is that the nano adaptor is fidly and does'nt seem to fit its a very tight squeese, and sits crooked when in. Does anyone else have the same problem.

I was looking for ipod speakers for my wife's birthday and didn't want to buy something cheap and nasty sounding as many of the less expensive options sound.
In order to get an idea what the benchmarks should be, I tried the Harmon Kardon (excellent but fiddly to use and very expensive), the Apple ipod dock (overpriced but good sound), the Klipsch (very very good) and the Bose.
Firstly on the Bose. It has a good rich sound with a tight bass delivery. Is it worth the extra price, no I don't think it is. The Klipsch iGroove is also very good and I considered this very seriously.
Until I put my ipod in the Altec Lansing that is. I was using Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite's first album as the test bed tracks. This album has fantastic production and requires a system capable of delivering smooth, rich bass along with crisp vocals and hi-hat.
The Bose and the Klipsch were both impressive. But put the same tracks on the Altec IM7 and the richness of the bass at the bottom end is noticable - with absolutely no compromise in the midrange or treble frequencies which are crystal clear. The IM7 has an in-built side-firing sub-woofer and it makes a considerable difference.
I still look at the IM7 and wonder how on Earth they get such a big system sound from such a relatively small unit.
The only thing I would point out is that the system doesn't come with an adaptor for the G2 Nanos, but these apparently are available from Altec though I haven't tried to get one of these yet - so you have to be careful with album/track selection when docked.
This, however, is not enough to prevent me doing anything but utterly recommending these to anyone. They, I understand (although I could be wrong) coming to the end of its production run, so if you can get one of these, do so now.

This is a great piece of kit !! We already own a Bose and decided to buy a different dock for our second home. A friend in the US suggested going for the iM7 so I thought we'd give it a go.....although I've not had them side by side I would suggest that the sound qulity of the iM7 is the equal of the Bose and the Bass may be even better. My wife prefers the look of the Bose but for me the iM7 represents a more clever solution.

I first heard this speaker on holiday, someone had it on the beech and it was nearly drowning out the music that was being played from a bar on the beech, so i started looking for one then.
The price then was a bit too pricey for me ( 190+), so I waited until it droppped.
You will NOT be dissappointed with this speaker, the bass sounds great, the volume is the loudest (and clearest) I have heard from a few different sets, one of my friends has a Boss system, another JBL's but the volume just isn't there!!
The design also looks great as you can see, you can also get custom carry cases for the speaker, which makes it easy to transport, although it is a little heavy. Mine has been great for holidays where music is a must, although I do plan to get a smaller, lighter and less powerful one for shorter business trips.
It also comes with various plug adapters, so it has not been a problem to use it whereever I go. It also has various adpaters for the different ipods, and a neat slot for you to store your remote in at the back.
Everyone who hears this speaker wants to buy one!! I can not see you being anything else but happy with this purchase!
