Logitech Wireless Speaker Z515 Offers Up to 50-Foot Wireless
Range, Logitech Laptop Speaker Z305 Delivers 360-Degree Sound
FREMONT, Calif., Sep 01, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Laptop computers have dramatically changed the way you enjoy
entertainment today, but laptop audio hasn't really kept pace. Because
you're watching movies, shows and Facebook(TM) video clips on your laptop,
today Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) announced the Logitech(R)
Wireless Speaker Z515 and the Logitech(R) Laptop Speaker Z305. Whether
you use a Mac(R) or a Windows(R)-based laptop or a netbook, the Wireless
Speaker Z515 delivers great sound from your laptop, iPad(TM) or iPhone(R),
with no strings attached, while the Laptop Speaker Z305 brings you
all-around sound in a compact design.
"The speakers built into most laptops are tiny and can't always
reproduce powerful audio," said Mark Schneider, vice president and
general manager of Logitech's audio business unit. "Whether you're an
MP3 junkie or a movie lover, our two new laptop speakers make it easy to
connect, turn the sound up and lose yourself in the things you love.
There's no reason that you can't have quality audio while you're
watching the latest YouTube(R) sensation or the newest Hollywood release
on your laptop."
Logitech Wireless Speaker Z515 -- Great Sound, No Strings Attached
To free you from the hassle of cords and let you place your speakers up
to 50 feet (15 m) away, the Logitech
Wireless Speaker Z515 uses 2.4 GHz wireless technology to deliver
wireless audio. And setup couldn't be easier. Just plug the included
wireless adapter into a USB port on your laptop, and you're connected in
a matter of seconds. Or if you want to connect to an iPad or iPhone, you
won't even need the USB dongle - just put your device into Discovery
mode and the Logitech Z515 speaker will find it and connect wirelessly.
But these speakers aren't just wireless -- they also provide rich sound.
The speaker's dual two-inch drivers give full stereo sound and plenty of
bass. Plus, so you can take your music with you wherever you go, the
Z515 includes a rechargeable battery that can power your speaker for up
to 10 hours.

throughout the room. The plug-and-play USB connection delivers power and

external power supply.
So you can easily use the speaker anywhere you use your computer -- your
office, your bed, the airport -- the Logitech Laptop Speaker Z305
securely mounts behind the screen so it's out of the way. And the Laptop
Speaker Z305 is also extremely lightweight -- approximately one-half
pound -- which means you'll always be able to take it with you. As
an added convenience, the USB cable tucks neatly into the back of your
speaker, giving you a look that's sleek and clutter-free.
