The Logitech G51 System offers all the benefits of 360-degree surround system and even makes it available whether or not there is a multi-channel audio source.
Besides, with the help of Logitech’s dual Matrix technology, gamers will be able to recreate the 5.1 surround sound experience from just about any two-channel stereo source.
This is because nearly all digital music and games are primed just for stereo (two-channel) sound. But, due to the presence of Logitech’s proprietary Matrix surround sound technology, the G51 speakers split the audio signal into six channels of sound, without lessening the audio quality.
In other words, if a particular game does not provide six-channel audio, gamers will still be able to enjoy the sound. Thu, when playing games especially first person shooters, gamers will gain a competitive advantage as they will be able to hear enemies stealthily creep up behind them.
But the Logitech G51 Surround Speaker System is not limited for use just in the gaming arena. This system has two matrix modes, one for gaming and the other for music. The Music Matrix mode enhances stereo music, delivering a much more natural surround sound experience using all five satellite speakers.
The Logitech G51 Speaker System is able to deliver 155 watts of totals RMS power. It also features Frequency Directed Dual Driver (FDD2) technology, which produces a uniform sound field by housing two drivers in each satellite. Besides, with the laser-tuned audio drivers, these speakers are able to provide clear audio with less distortion.
Now that we have covered the audio quality of the Logitech G51 Surround Sound Speaker System, let’s take a look at the physical aspects and looks of this system.
For the sole purpose of gamers, Logitech has equipped the G51 Speaker System with an improved control pod that includes both headphone and microphone jacks. Plus, the control pod provides precision dual mute controls, which enables gamers to quite easily mute the game audio, or mute only the microphone, or both.
The control pod has silicon feet and so gamers will never have to worry about it shifting during intense gameplay.
That’s not all; the Logitech G51 Surround Sound speaker System also features independent volume controls as well as convenient LEDs that make controlling the subwoofer, center channel and satellite speakers very easy.
Logitech has kept in mind the nature of gamers. Gamers will be able to create their own artwork for four left and right satellite speakers.
The Logitech G51 Surround Sound Speaker System is slated to be available in October 2007 for a price of $199.99.
