Hello first of all. Optical is clearly better in terms of sound. I am not currently aware of the price difference. Depending on the application, where and for what purpose and what kind of device is connected, the investment is absolutely worth it. I hope I have helped you and wish you a lot of fun with your new product. Best regards Helmut
I don't really understand the point of standard EQing. a) You listen to the speakers before you buy them and if you don't like it, you don't buy them. b) Every environment in which these things are placed is acoustically different. Therefore, there can't be "the" EQ setting.
For my taste, the Z623 is really good for what you get for the money. I have 2 pairs of them. One on a Squeezebox Touch and one on a Squeezebox Receiver...
Yes, the system has a jack plug (3.5 mm) as an audio input. You can use a 3.5 mm jack cable to connect it to your device. There is also a 3.5 mm headphone connection on the right speaker.
The RMS power of the loudspeaker is 200 watts. This power is achieved through the combination of two satellite speakers and a subwoofer, which ensures a powerful and clear sound.
The speakers are connected via a 3.5mm jack. The left speaker is connected to the subwoofer via RCA (chinch). However, the cable is fixed to the speaker. All the cables I needed were included.
Hello, this is not a VGA connector, it just looks similar. VGA has three rows. This is a bit stupid with the Logitech because not only sound is sent through this connector, but also control inputs that are made on the speaker. I doubt that there are extensions for this.
Please ask Logitech support, greetings:

I don't hear any noise or pops. I would assume that there is some kind of problem with the shielding/cabling in the unit. Replacing the unit sounds reasonable.
Hi everyone, I'd like to hear about your experience and get your advice if possible.
I was able to test a second Z623 kit in parallel with the one I've just bought, and both suffer from white noise / hiss, even with the potentiometer at zero. I have good hearing, and I can hear it up to about 1m from the satellites. This is certainly tolerable for a lot of people, but for low-volume, close-up listening (which is basic on a PC!) I find it intolerable in this price range.
I'm convinced that this is a design flaw, because all the sources are mixed; there are no switches. You can play sound (make mush) simultaneously in 3.5mm jack and RCA. And in my opinion, a source selector would have avoided this problem. And when no source is used, a hum appears in addition to the murmur. It's the same with an ungrounded source, such as a smartphone on the AUX socket.
So my question, just in case, is there a way of silencing/shunting unused sources? Am I the only one who finds this so unbearable that I rush to switch off the speakers as soon as I'm not playing any sound?
Thanks in advance!
Hello.
Yes, you can connect the speakers to your PS5. You will need an HDMI audio extractor or a connection via the 3.5mm jack connection on your monitor/TV.
This is how it works:
1. HDMI audio extractor: Connect the PS5 to the extractor via HDMI, then connect the extractor to the monitor via HDMI and use its 3.5mm or RCA output for the speakers.
2. monitor/TV connection: If your monitor/TV has a 3.5mm output, connect it directly to the 3.5mm input of the speakers.
3rd RCA option: If the extractor or monitor has RCA outputs, use an RCA to 3.5mm cable to connect to the speakers.
Note: The audio quality via the monitor output may be limited. An HDMI audio extractor with optical output would be ideal, but requires an additional optical-to-analogue converter as the speakers do not have an optical input.
If you have any further questions, please get in touch!
I have a height-adjustable office desk, so I'm a bit worried about the length of the cable.
If I have understood correctly, a 3.5mm cable goes from the source (in my case the Dell U2722DE monitor) to the subwoofer and then a wider cable from the subwoofer to the right front speaker.
Are these cables long enough if I set the table to just over 1 metre?
If not, is it possible to purchase longer cables? I assume that this should be relatively easy with the 3.5mm cable. What about the wider cable? What kind of cable/connector is it?
An alternative would probably be a 2.0 speaker set.
I am not in this situation because the cables are long enough for my use.
However, it should be possible to extend the cable from the subwoofer to the left speaker with a simple RCA extension cable (male/female).
For the large cable from the right speaker to the subwoofer, it should also be possible with a D-SUB 15 extension cable.
Please note that the D-SUB15 extension cable must be 1:1, i.e. each pin of the male plug must be connected to the same pin on the female side (this is not the case with VGA extension cables, I think).
Example of a cinch extension cable:
Value chinch extension (5 m, Entry level, RCA)
Example of D-15 sub cable: (no equivalent found at digitec)

I have noise from the right and left speakers. Even when the volume is at minimum and no audio cable is connected. It's a bit stronger on the right speaker, or it's almost a whirring sound, not just noise. Is this normal? You can still hear the noise from the right speaker when watching films in quiet scenes. It is less noticeable with the left speaker. In addition, all 3 speakers make a "pop" sound when switched on or off. I have already looked on the internet, there were a few forum posts that had the same problem. There the problem was solved by a replacement unit. But these are all at least 2 years old. Is this behaviour normal? Or is it a DOA case?
> It would work with...
Yes, it would: these speakers have very basic analogue inputs. RCA/Cinch and 3mm jack on the woofer, 3mm jack on the little speaker that has the controls.
As long as the DAC has a standard analogue output, it works.
> This would increase the sound quality.
- It depends on the USB DAC itself (don't expect miracles from an ultra cheap thing on Amazon)
- the reference point you're comparing it to (a good quality DAC from Roland or Behringer Uphoria will probably have less noise at the output than a poorly insulated thing integrated into the motherboard of some Asian no-name laptop)
- what you expect (a professional USB studio audio interface at 1'000 CHF might be overkill for simple PC speakers, even if they're good quality logitechs)
- and the gadget you want to plug into it (there is no more jack on the latest Apple i-Machin. An external DAC on the lightning plug or via Bluetooth is the only solution to use it)
