Logitech X-530 5.1 Subwoofer

Hi

I have been given a Logitech X-530 5.1 Subwoofer and am not really sure what it does!?

I think I need the 5 satellite speakers to go with it and do I then connect it to my TV? DVD? also will I need a separate amplifier?

ANy advice will be great! Also any suggested purchases would be good!

Thanks

DC

    Googled:-
    Plug the Logitech X-530 into your PC, music player, DVD player, or even your PlayStation or Xbox game console and immerse yourself in clean, crisp, consistent surround sound from your games, movies, and more. The high-tech subwoofer adjusts itself dynamically to deliver distortion-free bass. And the five wall-mountable satellite speakers use Logitech's patented FDD2 technology to eliminate the uneven sound response created by conventional dual-driver designs. The result: a clear, uniform sound field without the "hot spots" and inconsistency of other dual-driver satellites.

    I think draigcoch wants to know what to do with the sub on it`s own.

    What are the connections like ?

    To make the most of it i would buy an amp then you will be able to connect it to your t.v or p.c it would be upto you.

    That way you could add a pair of front and rear speakes whenever you are ready.

    I dont really know anything about them. But id hazard a guess the 'sub' you have, has all the necessary connections you need. Which would mean you just need to get a set of cheapie speakers from somewhere (And speaker cable obviously)
    :idea:
  • Hi Thanks!

    Think I will be using it on my TV. I kinda thought I just need the speakers and wire.

    Still not sure if I need an amp! How much are they?

    Any ideas?

    If it is like most other PC style speakers from Logitech and other brands the amp is built into the sub and the satellite speakers then use 3.5mm or Phono style connections to the sub. If that is the case unless you can get a hold of them cheap, just buy a new one as the sourced speakers and cables may well cost more than a complete system.
    Pop to your local PC world or Comet, see if they have any on display and eye up the connections :) not to buy just to see how they are setup as new
