PC Speakers Logitech Z Cinema 2.1


The Z Cinema system has two satellites are very similar to those of Z-10, but apart from that, this new system comes at a higher band, starting with the fact that this is a 2.1 system. The words "Cinema", however, raises some suspicion, given that relies on a computer system software to simulate the presence of several speakers. The Z Cinema, however, are not a simple diffusion system, because, thanks to the USB connection, behave exactly like an external sound card. Among the "collateral damage" we point out the fact that only work with certain versions of Windows (XP Media Center Edition, Vista Home Premium and Vista Ultimate). In the pack are also a Media Center remote control.
Large, but easy to install.

Each of the two satellites is a two-way system with woofers and tweeters from 8 cm by 3 cm or smaller or of superior in terms of design. High 25 cm deep and 11, are real stereo speakers that can be put on the desk or subtracting to it a lot of space, or installed on the wall. On the back there are the pre-drilled holes for fixing to the wall, but the package does not include data media.

The subwoofer is quite large (and less than 41 cm deep) and heavy a burden necessary to achieve bass sounds correct. On the system there are control buttons, so you have to do everything with the remote. Audio connectors (input for MP3 players and headphone) are on the right satellite. The USB port is on the subwoofer, which depart from the two wires, rather short, bringing the sound to the two satellites. Can not remove too much then the satellites from the subwoofer, as well as the Z Cinéma from the PC. The subwoofer mounts a 20-cm cone, bass-reflex loaded and with a vent on the side, and the power supply and amplifier. Logitech did not leave things half: the amp has three channels and the power is more than enough to ensure both good dynamics and low distortion.
