Logitech is very well known in the world of computer devices. In a wide assortment of the company - game wheels, keyboards, mice, webcams, gamepads and even speakers. One of such acoustics will be discussed in today's review - this is a model like 5.1 Logitech Z506. We will take a closer look at the characteristics of the speakers, their sound quality, current price and user reviews.
Description
The speaker system Z506 was announced back in 2010. Actually, then it began to be sold. At that time, its price was about $ 100, which, in fact, is very cheap for a 5.1 system. The total acoustics power is 75 watts, and the peak can reach 150 watts altogether . With such characteristics, the system began to gain popularity very quickly, which, in fact, allowed it to survive to this day. This model is still not only sold in stores, but also continues to be produced at the factory, although in a small amount, but the fact is a fact.
Packaging and equipment
Logitech Z506 is sold in a medium-sized cardboard box. On the packaging you can see the image of the complete set, as well as get acquainted with the key features of the model and read its main characteristics. As for the design, it matches the colors of the company - white and green.
On the front of the box you can see the company name and model - Logitech Speakers Z506. Inside the box, the user will be able to find a kit that consists of:
- Two front satellites.
- Two rear satellites.
- Subwoofer.
- Central column.
- A set of wires to connect.
- Instructions.
- Warranty card.
In general, the equipment is standard and rather modest. The manufacturer did not put any additional “buns” and bonuses in the box.
Design and appearance
The appearance of the Logitech Z506 is quite simple, but at the same time attractive. The materials that are used here are solid plastic with a certain matte finish and MDF. All speakers are made of plastic, and a subwoofer is made of MDF.
For starters, it's worth sorting out the satellites. They have a rather interesting shape - a wide base and narrower up. The front speaker is located, with one. Yes, on top there is also something similar to a speaker, but, unfortunately, this is only part of the decor. A huge plus for the rear and front satellites are the long cables, which allow the most comfortable positioning of the acoustics.
One of the front satellites in combination is also the control "remote control". Incidentally, it weighs more than other speakers and has a thick multi-core cable. On its front panel, in addition to the speaker, there is a volume control, a power button and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
All other connectors for the connection are traditionally located on the back of the subwoofer. Logitech Z506 at the back has a bass level control and a whole bunch of RCA and 3.5 mm jacks for connecting satellites in different ways.
As for the front of the subwoofer, then it has only the output of the bass reflex pipe. There is nothing above, but if you look below, you can find the speaker of the subwoofer, which, unfortunately, is not covered by anything, so from time to time it will have to be cleaned of dust.
The last remaining element of the entire system is the front speaker. It has a modest size, but is equipped with two speakers. You can position it in two ways - either put it on a table or a shelf, or use the hinged fasteners on the back to attach it to the monitor frame.
Model Features
The type of speaker system Logitech Z506 is 5.1. The total power of the system is 75 watts, and the peak can reach 150 watts. The frequency range here is wide - 45-20000 Hz, which in theory should favorably affect the sound. As for the speaker power, the subwoofer is 27 watts, the front and rear satellites are 8 watts, and the central speaker is 16 watts. Magnetic shielding is present everywhere, and for this is a separate plus for developers.
Sound quality
Logitech Z506 speakers show pretty high quality sound. The bass is played very clearly, the sound is dense and rich. Midrange swim a little, but in general it does not cause any discomfort when listening. As for the high frequencies, then perhaps they are a little lacking, but against the general background this disadvantage is simply lost.
If you play with the bass control on the subwoofer, you can get quite interesting results and at the same time find the most suitable mode for yourself. The volume margin of the system is very good, it is quite enough for any party.
Reviews and cost
Reviews of acoustics Logitech Z506 show that the system is fully justified and demonstrates excellent sound quality. However, there are several drawbacks, which include the lack of a control panel, at least wired, slightly stiff wires and the inability to hang satellites on the wall.
If we talk about the current price, then at the moment you can buy Logitech Z506 speakers for about 5500 - 7000 thousand rubles. Yes, it may seem a little overpriced, but at least the acoustics are worth the money, and it works them out 100%.
