Logitech's audio & midi lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Logitech Z906 decode Dolby Digital and DTS on its own?

Yes. The Z906 is Dolby Digital and DTS Digital certified and decodes both internally, so a digital optical or coaxial feed produces discrete 5.1 without a separate receiver.

How much power does the Z906 actually put out?

It delivers 500 watts of continuous power, with a 1,000-watt peak under certain conditions. That splits into a 165-watt subwoofer and four 67-watt satellites.

What can I plug into it, and how many devices at once?

Up to six sources simultaneously: two digital optical inputs, digital coaxial, six-channel direct, RCA, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Switch sources from the console or remote.

Can the satellite speakers be wall mounted?

Yes, the four 67-watt satellites are wall mountable. Mounting hardware and placement details are listed on the product page.

Will it work with a PlayStation, Xbox, or a TV as well as a PC?

Yes. Any device with a headphone jack, RCA, six-channel direct, digital coaxial, or optical output connects, so consoles, TVs, PCs, and music players all work.
