EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage speaker used as an integral part of a DJ setup in the 1970s. Created by renowned audio equipment manufacturer Altec Lansing, this rectangular speaker exudes a timeless elegance with its sleek black paint and impeccable craftsmanship. The front of the speaker features a unique concaved design that adds depth and character to its appearance. Adorned with white and blue stickers proudly displaying the iconic phrase "[ALTEC / Voice of the Theatre]" this speaker embodies Altec Lansing's commitment to delivering exceptional sound quality. The middle section is adorned with contrasting black and white lettering that boldly spells out "ALTEC" further emphasizing the brand's legacy. The mesh-covered bottom portion not only adds a touch of sophistication but also serves as protection for the inner components. On the back, outlets are strategically placed for easy connectivity, while handles on each side ensure convenient transportation. A true symbol of innovation in audio technology, this Altec Lansing speaker played an essential role in shaping music culture during its time. Its presence evokes nostalgia for an era when DJs skillfully mixed tracks using analog equipment like turntables and vinyl records. Preserved at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this artifact represents more than just technological advancement; it stands as a testament to African American contributions to music history. As we admire this piece from our heritage art collection, let us celebrate both its cultural significance and technological prowess that continue to inspire generations today.
