Enjoy studio-quality sound with the Z-5500 Digital Speaker System from Logitech®. This THX®-certified 500 Watt speaker system gives you 5.1 surround sound for clear and crisp sound. It features a large, 10″ long-throw subwoofer driver with flared bass port that delivers 188 watts of thunderous bass. With digital equalization, this speaker system actively adjusts frequency response in real time for clean and accurate sound reproduction
With the past release of their Z-series line of performance and mainstream two channel and surround speaker systems, Logitech has built up quite a consumer following who just love their quality, workmanship and surprising power contained within their reasonably priced audio products. In the past we had the opportunity of reviewing their Logitech Z-640 5.1 Computer Speaker System and the Logitech Z2200 THX Certified 2.1 Speaker System and had a hard time constantly picking our jaws up off of the floor when we cranked the volume and the pictures started vibrating off of the wall.
* Powerful, distortion-free bass: The new, larger 10-inch long-throw subwoofer driver with flared bass port delivers 188 watts of thunderous bass.
* Innovative driver technology: Polished aluminum phase-plug satellites combine two drivers into one–the clarity of a tweeter with the richness and fullness of a separate mid-range.
* Digital equalization: The Z-5500 Digital actively adjusts frequency response in real time for the cleanest, most accurate sound reproduction.
* DTS® 96/24 support: Enjoy studio-quality sound thanks to the Z-5500’s support for 96 kHz / 24-bit digital audio streams
* Amazingly powerful controls: The Digital SoundTouch™ Control Center lets you control volume to all speakers, set inputs, and much more. And the separate wireless remote is great for home theaters and video game consoles.
* Innovative satellite design: Cloth grilles are removable for a pro-audio look. Pedestals rotate for easy wall mounting or desk placement. Center channel can be mounted on wall, above or below monitor.
* Connect to multiple sources: Simultaneously connect 6 audio sources including PCs, video game consoles, and DVD, CD & portable music players… and control it all from the Digital SoundTouch™ Control Center.

Review By Logitech
We’ve taken the award-winning Logitech™ Z-680 speaker system and made it even better. How? By improving everything from the subwoofer to the satellites and adding new innovations like real-time digital sound equalization.
The result is the Logitech™ Z-5500 Digital, a THX-certified, 500-watt 5.1 surround sound speaker system that offers everything you could possibly want… and some things you didn’t even know you needed. And once you plug in your PC, DVD or music player, or video game console, you’ll never want to listen to anything else.

The Z-5500 has connections for just about anything that outputs audio. On the back of the Digital SoundTouch control center you will find the connectors that you need to get your computer, DVD player or stereo hooked up. There is one digital optical and one digital coaxial input for DVD or CD players, PS2, Xbox or PC sound card with digital outputs. There is also a 6 channel direct (3 stereo-mini connectors) input for uses with 2, 4 or 6 channel sound cards or for 3 stereo analog mini audio sources. Lastly there is an analog stereo mini jack at the side of the box for portable CD or MP3 players. Also, on the side just above the mini jack is a headphone jack.

Review By Techtastic
It’s a pretty straightforward setup, four corners, a center channel and a (as we now know) SERIOUS subwoofer. I was a little surprised to see that the inputs run to a separate command unit, sort of an uber-remote that jacks into the woofer with a serial cable. All inputs run into this little controller, not into the woofer as one might expect. Nothing wrong with it, but it’s a bit weird. Being picky, I would have preferred some solid ¼” stereo jacks (or even, dare to dream, dual ¼” mono jacks per channel) built into the woofer, rather than the flimsier 1/8″ connectors jacking into the command unit. No probems so far, though.
