Logitech Z323 2.1 Speakers

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

Hi. This is my first post about speakers. I recently bought a pair of speakers and a subwoofer from Logitech ( Logitech Z323 Set ) and the subwoofer makes kinda like distored sound, like if you're trying to say hHhhHHhHHhHHH with your throat, when the bass is at 100% and the volume at about 30%. The speakers are brand new and I don't know what to do. I am no expert in computer speakers so I'm asking you guys what to do, how can I repair my subwoofer.

 

Thanks, Erik

As a rule of thumb, max volume comes when the knob is at about the one o'clock position. Beyond that, distortion increases quickly. Consequently, if the knob is turned about 30 percent of the way, that is, for practical purposes, much higher than 30% volume (closer to 60%). At that volume level, turning the bass up to 100% is asking a lot of a desktop 2.1 speaker system. Try turning the bass down.

turn the max volume on the speaker down or the bass amount on the subwoofer down?

If you have them plugged into your pc turn off all eq's and sound processing software.

Either should work, but I would turn the bass down on the "subwoofer."

If a lot of bass is important to you, consider adding an actual subwoofer. What is called a subwoofer in small 2.1 & 5.1 speaker systems is usually just a separate woofer, a practice made popular by the Bose Acoustimass speaker systems. A true subwoofer is designed reproduce frequencies below 80 - 100 Hz, which is non-localizable by most humans (i.e., we can't locate the source of such low frequencies using our ears alone). Crossovers are used to ensure that the subwoofer doesn't receive signals for higher frequencies and the rest of the system doesn't receive signals below 80 - 100 Hz. This relieves the "subwoofer" of sub/satellite systems of the need to produce the most difficult frequencies.

Logitech's 30 Watts RMS rating should be taken with a grain of salt, since it is at 10% total harmonic distortion, which is a lot. That doesn't make the speakers bad; it just doesn't speak well for Logitech's marketing department. At lower power, the THD should be greatly reduced.
