Logitech has introduced the G51 Surround Sound Speaker System, a 5.1 speaker system which features 360-dgree surround sound with dual Matrix modes.
The Logitech G51 Surround Sound system makes 360-degree surround sound available with or without a multi-channel audio source. The dual Matrix technology creates a 5.1 surround sound experience from any common two-channel stereo source. This technology splits the audio signal into six channels of sound without degrading the audio quality. So, even if a game doesn’t provide six-channel audio, surround sound will still be possible. First person shooter gamers will also be able to hear their enemies creeping up from behind and if they are shot at, they’ll know exactly which direction the bullets have come from.
It offers two Matrix modes- gaming and music. The former mode boost the rear speakers and subwoofer offering an intense gaming experience, while the ported down-firing subwoofer makes in-game explosions sound more explosive. Music Matrix mode enhances stereo music, delivering a natural surround sound through all five satellite speakers.
The Logitech G51 Surround Sound Speakers are equipped with an improved control pod that includes both headphone and microphone jacks. This control pod also provides precision dual mute controls which allows gamers to easily mute the game’s audio or mute only the microphone, or both. The pod has silicon feet, which allows gamers to play in peace without worrying if it shifts during intense hours of gameplay.
The G51 speakers feature Frequency Directed Dual Driver (FDD2) technology, which produces a uniform sound field by housing two drivers in each satellite. FDD2 overcomes high-frequency overlap that leads to uneven sound -- a major barrier to dual driver speakers in the past. The result is uniform, intense sound from any place in the room. And with laser-tuned audio drivers, the speakers provide clear audio with less distortion.
Logitech has also provided the ability to modify the G51 speakers. This allows gamers to create their own artwork for the four left and right satellites. Gamers can also rotate the satellite stands to mount them on a wall, or clip the center channel to the top of an LCD flat-panel monitor.
