Model 19

Altec Lansing Model 19 Speakers

Mid 1970s.

Large-format 2-way monitor system derived from the company’s Voice of the Theatre lineage.

The Model 19 combines a high-efficiency 15-inch low-frequency driver with a sectoral horn compression system, delivering wide dynamic range, effortless projection, and unusually low distortion at realistic listening levels.

The low range employs the 416-series 38 cm woofer in a bass reflex enclosure, while the high range utilizes the 811B sectoral horn paired with the 802-series compression driver.

A continuously variable crossover and level control network allows adjustment of the high-frequency balance to suit room conditions and program material.

Originally developed to bring professional theatre-monitor performance into domestic listening environments, the Model 19 remains one of the most recognized large-format loudspeaker systems of the era.
