Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Speaker system

Vinson — Mon, 18 May 2009 13:45:24 +0000

If you’re looking for a head banging speakers, Logitech Z-5500 5.1 speaker system is the right speaker for you. Z-5500 is a powerful subwoofer with a 10-inch ported driver that provides added excitement to action movies, heart-pounding bass to music, and greater realism to games. Each of the four satellites and the center-channel speaker feature a unique driver design that places a tweeter at the center of a larger mid-range driver. The result is a smooth combination of sounds with the fullness of a much larger speaker.

Also, if you want to set your speakers with a professional look it’s not a problem, the Z-5500 Cloth grilles are removable and the pedestals rotate for easy wall mounting or desk placement. The center channel can be mounted on a wall, or above or below the monitor. Finally, the Digital SoundTouch Control Center puts command of the system at your fingertips. Digital LCD lets you select audio source, digital surround sound effect, adjust parameters of digital surround sound effects, adjust the volume levels of the individual speakers, mute the entire system, and of course, turn the set on and off. There’s even an auxiliary input jack to conveniently connect other audio devices.

The satellite speakers of the system are designed to give the maximum effect of both the mid and high range sounds. The design of the casing is such that you can mount the speakers on a wall of just sit them on a surface. Speaker wire is attached to the speaker itself, so there is no customization available there, unless you like to splice RCA cables. 25 feet of cable should be enough for most uses though.

The subwoofer on the Logitech Z-5500 is a large affair. If it is to be installed in a tight space situation you might have trouble finding a spot for it. Or perhaps you can turn it into a little table? The size of the speaker itself is 10 inch, but the size of the cage to the screws is 12 inches.

Logitech Z-5500 specifications:

Total Peak power: 1010 watts
Maximum SPL: >115 dB
Frequency response: 33 Hz — 20 kHz
Input compatibility: PC/MAC, cd, mp3, xbox 360, ps3, wii,etc.

Altec Lansing VS4121 Black 2.1 Speaker System 31W RMS

Vinson — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 15:52:43 +0000

Specifications

SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL (SPL): 97 dB
TOTAL CONTINUOUS POWER: 31 Watts
Front Speakers: 6 Watts/channel @ 4 ohms @ 10% THD @ 150 – 20000 Hz 2 Channels Loaded
Subwoofer: 19 Watts @ 4 ohms @ 10% THD @ 20 – 150 Hz Single Channel Loaded
SYSTEM RESPONSE: 25 Hz – 15 kHz (-10dB)
SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO @ 1 KHZ INPUT: > 73 dB
DRIVERS (PER SATELLITE): Two 28mm full-range and one 3″ mid-bass driver
DIMENSIONS: 4″ (W) x 4.7″ (D) x 9.2″ (H)
SUBWOOFER DRIVER: One 6.5″ long-throw woofer
DIMENSIONS: 8″ (W) x 9.9″ (D) x 13.6″ (H)
Subwoofer not magnetically shielded

As you can see by the specifications, the Altec Lansing VS4121’s looks pretty good. The 6.5” long-throw subwoofer should give us some impressive bass and the satellites should be able to do well with the added mid-range speaker and the tweeters for the highs. The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and should be left at least 2m away from any magnetic mediums, I think that Altec Lansing have over looked this feature which is somehow really important.

The unique thing about Altec are the satellites. The satellites have a unique base/stand. This is no ordinary base though. Underneath the base has integrated 3” mid-range speakers. The speaker’s sound is driven out through the bottom evenly from both sides as the stand has a small slant. Because of the speakers, the rest of the satellite is steady on any surface. The front of the satellite has two 28mm high-range range drivers/tweeters. One of the complaints from the 2100’s that are addressed with the Altec Lansing VS4121 is that the bass and treble controls are built on the right satellite. These are dials that are of high quality along with the volume control. The Altec Lansing VS4121 has a cool blue/purplish LED that adds to the overall finesse. The 4121 also contains a headphone jack.

The bass is very pronounced, and surprisingly crisp. Altec did a very good job with this subwoofer design, as it produces very pronounced bass that is not boomy or indistinct. In fact, the bass may be a little too strong for some smaller rooms, but with a quick turn of the bass knob, the user can adjust the sound to their tastes.

The overall impression when listening to a wide variety of music is that the VS4121’s accurately convey the high end and the bass, but the midrange is not nearly as pronounced as it should be. This does have a negative effect on the listening experience, as many musical pieces do not sound as expansive as they should. For a user who is not an audiophile though, the music will be very clear and neutral without any shrieking highs or boomy lows.
