altec lansing alc20 (car audio)

[marko]

does anybody know where i might get a manual on line for one of these rare eq/x-over units? i just got hold one in mint condition and want to learn a bit about it before i install it!

Unfortunately, you are unlikely to find one. Altec Lansing Corporation developed the car audio line around 1980. It was only in production for a couple of years when it was sold to Sparkomatic (Altec Lansing Technologies). Sparkomatic later had a warehouse fire that destroyed all of their printed records such as manuals and spec sheets. The bottom line is that not many were sold (meaning there are few in private hands) and no corporate data remains.

Hi Marko,
I purchased one ALC-20 when it came out and I still have it so if U still need the user manual I can scan it for U (I have the ALC-20 connected to my HOME system and I could not imagine listening to music without it...)

Hi Marko. I was just looking in the ALC20 box where mine is to dig out the manual, but unfortunately it's not there, I think it would be SOMEWHERE in my storage room (which is filled to the door almost...) anyway as soon as I find it I will scan it for you.
Bye
