We will take a detailed look at the characteristics of the speakers, their sound quality, current price and user reviews.

The total acoustic power is 75 watts, and the peak power can reach 150 watts. With such characteristics, the system began to gain popularity very quickly, which, in fact, allowed it to hold out to this day. This model is still not only sold in stores, but also continues to be produced at the factory, however, already in small quantities, but there is a factfact.

- Two front satellites.
- Two rear satellites.
- Subwoofer.
- Central column.

In general, the equipment is standard and rather modest. The manufacturer did not put any additional "buns" and bonuses in the box.
Design and appearance
The appearance of the Logitech Z506 is quite simple, but at the same time attractive. The materials used here are solid plastic with a kind of matte finish and MDF. All speakers are made of plastic, and the subwoofer is made of MDF.
First of all, we should deal with the satellites. They have a rather interesting shape - a wide base and a narrower top. There is a speaker in front, and one. Yes, there is also something similar to a speaker on top, but, unfortunately, this is only part of the decor. A huge plusthat the rear, that the front satellites are long cables that allow you to position the acoustics as comfortably as possible.
One of the front satellites is also the control panel. By the way, it weighs more than other speakers and has a thick multi-core cable. On its front panel, in addition to the speaker, there is a volume control, a power button and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
All other connectors for connection are traditionally located on the rear wall of the subwoofer. The Logitech Z506 has a bass level control on the back and a whole bunch of RCA and 3.5mm jacks for connecting satellites in a variety of ways.
As for the front part of the subwoofer, there is only a phase inverter pipe outlet on it. There is nothing on top, but if you look under the bottom, you can find the subwoofer speaker, which, unfortunately, is not covered by anything, so from time to time it will have to be cleaned of dust.
The last remaining element of the entire system is the front speaker. It has a modest size, but it is equipped with two speakers. You can place it in two ways - either put it on a table or shelf, or attach it to the monitor frame using a folding fastener on the back side.
Model specifications
Type of acoustic system Logitech Z506 - 5.1. The total system power is 75 watts, and the peak power can reach 150 watts.

In terms of speaker power, the subwoofer is 27W, the front and rear satellites are 8W, and the center speaker is 16W. Magnetic shielding is present everywhere, and for this a separate plus for the developers.
Sound quality
Logitech Z506 speakers show a fairly high sound quality. The bass is played very clearly, the sound is dense and rich. The mid frequencies float a little, but in general, this does not cause any discomfort when listening. As for the high frequencies, perhaps they are a little lacking, but against the general background, this drawback is simply lost.
If you play around with the bass control on the subwoofer, you can get some pretty interesting results and at the same time find the most suitable mode for yourself. The volume margin of the system is very good, it will be enough for any party.
Reviews and pricing
Reviews of the Logitech Z506 acoustics show that the system fully justifies its cost and demonstrates excellent sound quality. However, there are several drawbacks, which include the lack of a remote control, at least a wired one, slightly stiff wires and the inability to hang the satellites on the wall.
