Our first test for the Z-4s was musical. We pumped Death From Above 's "Blood On Our Hands" at the speakers' highest possible volume, with the subwoofer cranked all the way up, just for kicks. Shockingly, there wasn't a smidge of speaker distortion, despite the fact that we had the low range set to an inappropriately high volume for music.
At a more sensible subwoofer level--about one o'clock on the dial--the song sounded crisp in the high-mids and deep in the lows, with the thunderous kick drum never getting too muddled. At times, however, the subwoofer sounded disconnected from the satellites, a common issue with computer speakers that avoid using woofers and go straight to the subwoofer. The absence of a regular woofer means some frequencies, namely low-mids, get a bit less attention than they deserve.
This minor quality issue is rarely a problem for movie watching unless you're watching a musical , as the frequencies that matter are dutifully represented by a good subwoofer and capable satellites. The Logitech Z-4s did an admirable job with The Life Aquatic's subtle sound mix in which guns and explosions sound like real guns and explosions, not foot cannons but could have provided a bit more rumble in the low-end ship noises and weaponry of Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones.
After all, who wants to run a gauntlet of wires around their office, or set up rear channel speaker stands in the aisle behind their cubicle?
Many companies have opted for watered down versions of their 5. Others have decided to forgo the subwoofer entirely, leaving listeners without the satisfaction of a respectable bass line. And then there is the third category: Companies that invest in 2. Logitech is one such company, and the Z-4 speaker system is a great example of what happens when a company takes into account consumer feedback and designs a product for an intended use, rather than just borrowing spare parts from other lines.
The Logitech Z-4 is the follow up to the Z-3, which we reviewed earlier, but with some major design changes. They ditched the wood finish, opting for a metallic silver finish.
For those that need to coordinate everything with their iPod, there is a Z-4i version that is identical to the regular Z-4, but wrapped in the iconic white plastic. The satellite cables are not separate for each speaker and plug directly into the subwoofer, as does the control unit. This eliminates the annoying slipping seen with the Z Also, the subvolume has been moved from the ever-inaccessible depths of the area below the desk to the control unit. Also, the protective cover that came with the Z-3 has been eliminated.
Judging from our own review, and other reviews on various websites, these changes address all the major complaints leveled at the Z How often does that happen?
