LogitechLCDTool enables Mac users to use Logitech speakers with LCD display, resolving the issue of missing support for such devices.
The Logitech Z-10 is a fantastic stereo USB speaker system that not only sounds amazing, but also looks very stylish. However, Mac users may find that a key feature of the speaker system is lacking - support for the panel with buttons and an LCD display located on one of the speakers. This is where LogitechLCDTool comes in - providing Mac support that is otherwise missing.
With no native Mac software from Logitech, only a few buttons, such as mute and volume up/down, work out of the box. But, without proper support, the remaining buttons are not functional and the display permanently shows "Z-10," which quickly becomes tiresome. Windows users have more functionality with interactive mini-applications that provide useful information such as iTunes track information, system load, and email messages.
Thankfully, Logitech offers a software development kit, allowing users to create their own custom mini-applications. After reverse-engineering the USB communications between the Windows software and the speaker system, it was clear that the program did much more than just provide mediation between iTunes and the speakers.
Overall, if you're looking for a high-quality speaker system that offers more than just simple sound, the Logitech Z-10 is an excellent choice. However, Mac users should be aware that the support for the additional panel features is limited without LogitechLCDTool. The only requirement for using this software is to have a Logitech Z-10 USB speaker system. With this software, you'll be able to take full advantage of the Z-10's capabilities and enjoy an even better audio experience.
