 "Logitech Unveils Z-10 Interactive Speakers")
Logitech has introduced the Logitech Z-10 Interactive 2.0 Speaker System, featuring touch-sensitive controls on the face of the speakers, thus eliminating the need to toggle between applications to control music on the computer monitor.
The speaker satellites’ polished acrylic faces offer clean, minimalist facades accented by the digital display and each speaker’s two metal mesh grills. The speakers deliver rich audio without using a separate space-consuming subwoofer. Users can continue to work or surf the Web, or even turn their monitor off and use the integrated speaker controls to adjust volume, treble and bass, and navigate music tracks with play, pause, skip forward and back buttons.
“Until now, PC speakers have simply delivered sound,” said Moninder Jain, Director, South Asia, Logitech. “The Z-10 speakers aim to incite more of the senses - sight, touch and sound - with their media display, touch-sensitive controls and premium audio. And beyond that, these speakers are simply stunning, adding a level of design sophistication to their breakthrough digital music capabilities.”
Using USB technology, the speakers can display track information from popular media players, including iTunes, Windows Media Player, Winamp, and Musicmatch. The digital display also shows a clock, volume levels and other system information from the PC.
The Logitech Z-10 speakers also have four Internet radio preset buttons located on the speakers’ touch sensitive panel. When touched, the preset buttons let users save and recall their favorite Internet radio stations and playlists.
A built-in amplifier splits the high and low frequencies (called bi-amplification) directing the high-range signals to the tweeters and the low-range signals to the woofers an approach that is typically used only in performance home-theater speakers.
Logitech Z-10 Interactive 2.0 Speaker System has an MRP of Rs. 11,595 and is distributed by Rashi Peripherals and Savex Computers. The Z-10 speaker system carries a 2-year replacement warranty.
