Chris Angelini van Sharky Extreme trakteert ons op een review van de Logitech SoundMan Xtrusio DSR-100 speakerset. De set heeft een totaal vermogen van 100W RMS verdeelt over vier 12W satellieten en een 52W subwoofer. Over de remote control aan een draadje was men wel te spreken, alleen had je er ook de treble en bass mee moeten kunnen instellen. Dit moet je nu instellen op de subwoofer. Hieronder een gedeelte uit het artikel:
The introduction of the Xtrusio system is an excellent novice effort for a company trying to break through into the performance speaker market. The sound is good, the connectivity options are above average, and they are stylish to boot. We really appreciate the inclusion of a headphone jack on the remote, making late night gaming easy. At $180, the Xtrusio system is slightly more expensive than competing solutions from Altec Lansing and Creative Labs, but delivers significantly more power.
Not everyone will be attracted to this system, though. Chances are good that if you recently purchased a new 6-channel sound card, you are going to want a true 5.1 system to compliment it. In this case, you could pick up MidiLand's 7100 system, which rivals the Xtrusio in power, for about $20 dollars more. It may not look as dapper as the Xtrusio, but as we have said, function is more important than form.
If you are happy with your four-channel sound card and don't have the cash for the more expensive Klipsch ProMedia system (which runs about $250), then Logitech's Xtrusio DSR-100 will fit your budget nicely.Highs:
