Top-tier Computer Speakers
Multi-channel sound systems are a lot superior to conventional 2.0 stereos. However, multi-channel speaker systems are different and not all of them are worth every pound they cost. But there's certainly nothing to worry about if you choose the Logitech Z906 computer speakers! This sound system delivers an excellent surround sound of fantastic quality. This kind of PC speaker system is a rival of Hi-Fi systems since it's cheaper and doesn't require getting the appropriate speakers and amplifier separately. Also, the Logitech speaker system requires no fine-tuning - you just need to unpack all components and connect them properly. There are two ways of mounting the speakers: you can either place them on any flat surface (they have non-slip rubber feet for this) or mount on a wall (each satellite speaker has a mounting hole on the back panel). No matter how you place the speakers, the sound quality will be perfect thanks to the design of satellites. The cables are rather long so you can place the satellites around your room and feel the whole power of 3D sound. The total output power of the Logitech PC speakers is 500 Watts. Quite a high power taking a small size of the satellites into account! This PC speakers have all the necessary inputs and outputs (including digital ones) for ultimate connectivity. The system is controlled via a wired remote though it's possible to use a wireless one. Logitech made its best to enter the premium segment by introducing this amazing computer speaker system. No doubt, Z906 is a fantastic choice for music lovers, gamers, and common PC users. This surround sound system ensures a clear and distortion-free sound even at high volume!
Huge Power Encompassed in a Small Casing
A single glance at this computer speaker system is enough to recognise the peculiar Logitech design - each curve reminds of other Logitech products. Despite a rather high output power of each speaker (67 Watts per channel), they are quite small. Each satellite is made of simple plastic. Each speaker is very durable and rigid, though not lightweight due to the heavy magnetic system inside. In all, this PC sound system includes five identical satellites but four of them are placed vertically and (front and rear ones) and one (central) is placed horizontally. The subwoofer is made of 12mm thick MDF and looks like a cube. The subwoofer is based on a powerful 8-inch speaker covered with a protective metal mesh; there's a phase inverter on the right side. In all, the subwoofer is rather big in order to minimise air whirls and reaching the best sound frequency.

Interesting Fact
Back in 1960, the sound was recorded on a special magnetic tape. Till 1964, the RCA company released a cassette of the following size: 197 x 127 x 13 mm that looked quite similar to more 'modern' audio cassettes you might have seen before they were replaced by discs and flash drives. Those outdated compact cassettes played for 30 minutes per each side (1 hour in total). The first audio cassette had been developed by Philips in 1963 and the following year the production started in Germany. Very soon audio cassettes became widespread and there were many reasons for such a great success. Firstly, there was no license so the production of cassettes was quite cheap for common people. Secondly, any owner of a tape recorder could record and then play whatever he or she wanted. Consequently, tape recorders became a lot cheaper and millions of people could buy them. Back in the 1970s-80s, audio cassettes were the most popular format for recording music. It's hard to believe it today but audio cassettes were even used for recording computer programs! Cassettes were used in language schools and by journalists for recording interviews. The epoch of compact cassettes came to an end in the 1990s when CDs were introduced into the market.

Curious Fact
It's difficult to find a person who's never heard the so-called Wilhelm scream. For the first time, this sound was used in the 1951 film Distant Drums when one of the heroes was dragged underwater by an alligator. Next time the scream appeared in the film called The Charge at Feather River. Fans of The Star Wars certainly heard this sound too! The Wilhelm scream was used in lots of Warner Brothers films and became really popular. In 1970, Ben Burtt, an American sound designer, started using this sound in all his films. As of today, the Wilhelm Scream can be heard in more than 220 popular films and computer games.
Useful to Know
If you plug headphones into a microphone input, you can actually use them as a microphone! Without going into technical details, the design of a mic and headphones is fairly similar: a membrane is connected to a coil around a magnet. In headphones, the sound signal turns into vibrations of a membrane while in a microphone it's vice versa.

Cutting-edge Music Technologies
A neuron network for composing music has been created at Sony Computer Science Laboratories. Sony engineers created a huge music database comprising around 13,000 tracks of different singers and genres. To create a new music track, you need to choose a genre, then the program will analyze hundreds of tracks and compose a unique track. The neuron network has already proven its efficiency! A French composer Benoit Carré created a music track in a style of The Beatles with the help of the neuron network. Having analyzed all songs of the world's most famous band, the program offered several tracks for creating a totally new unique one. Benoit made musical notations of the new track that was named Daddy's Car. In the future, more composers will be able to create new music tracks this way.

If you are a video gaming fan then you may find our gaming laptops and gaming mice reviews interesting.
What Features to Compare
The very first thing to consider when you choose a speaker for computer is its Type. The type depends on the number of speakers and on the subwoofer. If you are planning to create a home theater, you will need a 5.1 system - by placing all the satellite speakers around the room you will achieve a realistic sound. These are one of the best Computer Speakers for those loving to watch films with all the special effects. The 2.1 acoustic system has two speakers and a subwoofer, it is good for watching films and listening to music. Portable speakers are small in size and can connect not only to a computer. For example, the Bluetooth technology will help you take them with you when you go for a walk, so you could listen to music in any place.
The most important parameter of the speaker system for PC is its Sound Quality or, in other words, the quality of the sound you hear from your Computer Speakers. That is what you need to pay attention to when analyzing the sound quality:
- Power. A speaker system for PC includes several speakers, so a total output power must be considered first of all. This indicator is a combination of the power output of each speaker in the sound system. The higher this total output power, the louder the sound. At the same time, you shouldn't aim for the highest numbers because when you turn such speakers to the full power, the sound might become quite unclear.
- Sensitivity. This is the sound pressure level. This parameter is also directly proportional to the volume of the sound - the higher the sensitivity, the louder the sound. Modern Computer Speakers have this criterion at 80-95 dB.
- Frequency. This is one more vital characteristic for the sound system. For the best sound quality, the frequency response range must be wide. A human ear is able to apprehend the frequency range from 15 Hz to 22 kHz. PC speakers usually have the frequency from 25 Hz to 20 kHz.
When you have decided on the desired sound parameters, take a look at the Design. It's important to know what materials a speaker system for PC is made of. Most Computer Speakers are manufactured from plastic to make the design more peculiar but a subwoofer is often made of MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) for achieving high-quality sound and low frequencies.
There are also certain Extras we recommend you to consider. First of all, check out the options of Computer Speaker System connection to the computer. Along with the old-fashioned analogue inputs, modern PC speaker systems are often equipped with digital inputs to plug in a media player or a gaming console. And the Bluetooth technology allows you to establish a wireless connection with smartphones and tablets.
