Logitech Adds New PC Speaker Systems

By John Laposky -- TWICE, 7/14/2009

Fremont, Calif. - Logitech has added four new PC speaker systems that feature omni-directional acoustics to create a larger sweet spot.

Unlike standard PC speakers that use forward-firing drivers, the new systems feature drivers that face forward and Logitech’s three-piece Z523 is a 2.1-channel system with a down-firing subwoofer.backward in each satellite. This "360-degree sound" helps project audio evenly in all directions, according to the company.

Logitech's Z520 system, shipping this month, puts out 26 watts of RMS power, with a frequency response of 70 Hz to 20 kHz, from two 2-inch dome drivers.

It has 3.5 mm auxiliary input and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

It has a dual RCA jack, 3.5mm primary input, 3.5mm aux input and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The satellites have on-speaker volume controls. They measure 5.2 by 3.4 by 7.7 inches and the sub is 9.5 by 9 by 10 inches.

The Z523 comes in white or black.
