Capital Audiofest Debut - Altec Lansing's Ribbonacci Planar Magnetic Loudspeakers

Altec Lansing Returns to High Fidelity with Three New Hi-Fi Product Lines

Released September 22, 2025 – Altec Lansing, a name long synonymous with high fidelity sound, is making a bold return to the world of premium audio. Known historically for pioneering innovations and iconic loudspeakers, the company is reestablishing itself at the forefront of Hi-Fi with three new product lines: the Reference Series, the Voice of the Theatre Series, and the Iconic Series.

“Altec Lansing was built on a legacy of innovation and acoustic excellence,” said James Harvell, Chief Engineer. “We are proud to reintroduce that spirit with products that honor our history while redefining what’s possible in high fidelity audio.”

Three Distinct Hi-Fi Product Lines

The Reference Series

Altec Lansing’s no-compromise flagship line, designed for audiophiles who demand the very best. Featuring advanced technologies, sophisticated industrial design, and an uncompromising approach to engineering, the Reference Series includes speakers, amplifiers, DACs, and more.

The first product in this line, the Ribbonacci Planar Magnetic Loudspeaker, will debut at Capital Audio Fest 2025. A limited-edition launch, Ribbonacci leverages proprietary technology to overcome traditional planar magnetic challenges, delivering the most advanced dipole planar magnetic panels ever developed. Paired with Altec Lansing’s new Dynamic Dipole Subwoofer System and state-of-the-art electronics, this system represents a revolutionary step in high-end sound reproduction.

The Voice of the Theatre Series

A heritage-driven collection that revives and modernizes the legendary designs that made Altec Lansing famous. This line reintroduces classics like the Model 19, the A7, and the 604E, now enhanced with updated aesthetics, improved materials, and cutting-edge performance. Featuring horn-loaded high-frequency drivers and high-efficiency designs, this series embodies the spirit of the original “Voice of the Theatre” systems that defined live sound and studio monitoring for decades.

The Iconic Series

A refined yet more accessible line that balances tradition with modern performance. The Iconic Series delivers true Hi-Fi sound at a price point that, while premium, is more attainable than much of today’s high-end audio market. Featuring speakers, amplifiers, streamers, and more, the Iconic Series is designed to bring Altec Lansing fidelity to a broader audience without sacrificing craftsmanship.

Capital Audio Fest Debut

Altec Lansing will showcase its highly anticipated Ribbonacci Planar Magnetic Loudspeakers—the first product in the Reference Series—at Capital Audio Fest 2025. Attendees will experience the revolutionary system firsthand, paired with Dynamic Dipole Subwoofers and Altec Lansing’s next-generation amplification and processing technologies.

“We invite everyone to join us at Capital Audio Fest to witness the rebirth of Altec Lansing Hi-Fi,” said brand owner Ike S Franco. “This is just the beginning—we are bringing back the passion, the innovation, and the sound that made Altec Lansing legendary.”
