Today Logitech announced their AudioHub notebook speaker system with integrated USB hub – combining a unique 2.1 one-piece speaker system and three integrated Hi-Speed USB ports in a compact design that fits neatly behind most notebooks.

From the official press release:

Offering notebook users exceptional digital audio, the AudioHub speaker system features an adjustable one-piece, three-chamber speaker system with an integrated subwoofer that creates balanced audio with clear highs and solid lows. And a useful Mute button turns off the sound without cutting power to the integrated USB hub.

To help people manage their peripherals, the AudioHub offers three built-in Hi-Speed USB ports. And when people want to take their notebooks with them, the AudioHub makes it easy to disconnect their setup by simply unplugging the USB cord attached to the computer.

On the base of the AudioHub, a convenient cable management system allows people to easily pass cables from their devices to a USB port. Along the back of the AudioHub, a cable hook efficiently manages cable clutter.

At just three and a half inches in height, the AudioHub presents a sleek, low-profile design that fits almost anywhere in the home – even in the living room. And the AudioHub speaker system’s unique adjustable-width speakers effectively position the satellites around most notebooks.

The Logitech AudioHub is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in October, for a suggested retail price in the U.S. for $99.99.

Created by hand using three discs, each clock undergoes a heating and cooling process to create the unique irridescent cracked effect on the surface.
