Altec Lansing Octiv Stage MP450 Review

 

Even with a steep price tag, the Octive Stage MP450 by Altec Lansing stands out against the limited selection of iPad docks available on the market.

The Altec Lansing Octiv Stage is one of only a couple iPad docks available on the market with speakers. The $149 price is a little steep, but considering there are few competing products out there, it’s simply the best you can get. We would like to see...

Altec Lansing Octiv Stage MP450 review

 

When we got our first glimpse of Altec Lansing's Octiv Stage MP450 docking speaker system for the iPad , iPhone , and iPod , we were pretty intrigued by its design--it reminded us of the old armature G4 iMacs .

Speaker dock that supports iPad along with iPhone/iPod; excellent tilt/swivel design allows you to put your iPad in portrait or landscape mode; works with Altec's Alarm Rock iPhone app to deliver a rich alarm clock feature set; remote included.

Thin bass; basic feature set; somewhat high price tag.

If you can look past its so-so sound quality on music, the impressively flexible design of the Altec Lansing Octiv Stage MP450 turns your iPad into a video monitor for bedside or kitchen viewing.

Altec Lansing Octiv Stage (MP450)

 

Compact design. Excellent rotating docking arm allows for vertical, horizontal and even flat viewing

Poor audio performance for the price. Remote control does not navigate the iPad well. Can't use alarm apps—even ones from Altec Lansing

Altec Lansing Octiv Stage MP450

 

A fairly bare-bones unit with no real bells and whistles, the Octiv Stage MP450 delivers solid audio performance at a realistic price, with a very small footprint to boot.

Minimalist design suits the iPad visually ; Surprisingly good sound from such a small unit ; Achieves the aim of turning the iPad into a little TV

Minimalist not only in design, but in features too

It's not the most feature-rich device of its kind, but its combination of small footprint, big sound and the flexible arm make it a solid buy.
