Bij PC Hardware is een review te vinden van de Altec Lansing ATP5 speakerset. Dit 4.1 setje is de "gaming edition" van de ATP3 en bestaat zodoende uit vier satellietspeakers en een subwoofer. De ATP5 heeft twee analoge en twee digitale ingangen. Bass, treble en volume worden digitaal afgesteld, wat wordt weergegeven met een paar fraaie ledjes. Wat geluidskwaliteit betreft is men vooral zeer tevreden over de hoge en lage tonen; de midrange komt er minder goed vanaf. Hieronder een hap uit de conclusie:
The conclusion of our auditorium was that ATP5 sounds more than good. High sounds are extremely clear even if the specs show a lack between 18-20kHz. The subwoofer is also powerful and delivers a very dynamic low frequency response. I can say that I was delighted about these speakers from the start. Supplied cables are high quality, installation is easy and why not to mention the design is special. For users with limited space on the desk which still play games and want quality these are definitely the speakers. The second thing unconventional about these speakers which impressed me was the volume control. In the audio tests I remarked the power of the build in amplifier and the features of adjusting bass and treble response.
It was hard to find weak points, in fact ATP5 seems to be a dream sound system for any gamer. Yes, mid level sound does not reach the quality of bass when you turn the volume to the maximum but below 70 percent the differences in the spectrum are not noticeable. Of course that on the market there are powerful speaker sets with 5.1 encoding but it's also true that these are also more expensive and somehow not so design attractive.
