Built in are options for Surround Sound effect, and Bass Boost. Both are nice additions, but it was the Base Boost I found most noticeable, and impressive considering the speakers don’t have a sub-woofer. For it’s size, it could certainly get loud and had the ability to “fill a room with sound” as advertised."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/wpt/auto/1260831661.usr307.jpg" style="border: 0;" /></p><p>As I <a href="http://www.zunethoughts.com/news/show/96108/new-music-dock-from-altec-lansing.html" target="_blank">mentioned last week</a>, Altec Lansing has released its new iM414v2 speaker dock for the Zune line. My only concern at the time was that the previous version of the dock I had used with my Zune 80 had produced less-than-impressive results and that didn't make me very excited about the new dock they have.</p><p>Well, Mobilitysite did a review of the new dock and as you can see from the above quote, they were pretty pleased with the sound! Check out their <a href="http://www.mobilitysite.com/2009/12/review-altec-lansing-im414v2-for-zune-hd/" target="_blank">full review</a> for more information but it looks like that Altec Lansing has delivered a quality product judging by the review. I'm glad to find out that the dock is better than I expected because the Zune needs all the peripherals it can get!</p><p>If you want to get one, you can <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/zunethoughts-20/detail/B002USUMPI" target="_blank">pre-order it for $99.95</a>.</p>
