It’s a unique benefit: The Altec Lansing FX5051 system gives you genuine 5.1 surround sound
with no hassles and no 6-channel sound card required! You simply plug a USB cable from
your subwoofer into your PC and get 6 discrete channels of powerhouse sound. The FX5051
features dual drivers in every satellite, plus a “two-barreled,” isobaric subwoofer that gives
you awesome bass in half the space. What’s more, it’s long on looks. The perfect complement
to your flat-panel displays. Satellites feature removable bases for easy wall mounting. System
includes a wireless remote.
