: There is no need for any driver or software.
Another feature that I liked is the three additional USB2.0 ports one gets to attach more devices to expand your laptop’s interface capability. These ports are available on the rear-right panel of the AudioHub. The Logitech engineers also did not forget to add some anti-skid rubber pads on the base of the speaker system to make it more stable.
The AudioHub’s two tiny 2inch tweeter drivers and the integrated subwoofer pumps out an astonishing 15 watts (RMS) of music power with frequency response ranging between 100 Hz to 20kHz without any noticeable trace of distortion or rumbling even at the peak level of volume. It was quite amazing for a speaker of this size and shape to sound so crisp and clear. To raise the standards a bit further I tried some music CDs and even a movie DVD. The audio on highs and the mids sounded as true as could be, but the bass (low frequency) lacked the punch and had just enough thud to satisfy movie-watchers who prefer to do so on their laptops. For those who listen to soft or vocal music, it’s an acceptable option, but for those who prefer their percussion to rock them, this AudioHub is pedestrian.
At an MRP of Rs 6,495 this speaker system is a good add-on to your laptop and a rather worthy alternative to the laptop’s built-in speakers that inherently lacks in audio quality. It will surly attract other people to herd around you and will convert your personal machine in to mass viewing gadget.
Pros:
Well made and sleek design,
Very easy to attach to laptop, no drivers required.
Acceptable audio quality and power,
Added advantage of three USB 2.0 ports.
Cons:
*A bit heavy to be called truly portable,
*No equalizer,
*No auxiliary input jack socket to attach MP3 players or other devices,
*Catches dust and grit easily....
