One of the most appealing speaker systems for your iPod or iPhone. |
The Zeppelin iPod Music Speaker System is based on over 40 years of experience and know-how in speaker design at Bowers and Wilkins. For the first time that high-end speaker technology is being applied to an iPod portable speaker. You get an intelligent product with clever ergonomics and beautiful 360° visual appeal. The Zeppelin MK II looks great everywhere as you carry it from room to room.
The iPod's interface was quickly recognized as an iconic piece of design. Its touch-sensitive click wheel gives the user the ability to scroll quickly through long lists of information and select artists or tracks with just one hand. With Zeppelin, Bowers & Wilkins has complemented this user interface by designing a docking port that allows the user to still grasp the iPod as if it were in the hand instead of placing it in an iPod speaker dock. It also cleverly accommodates iPods of differing depths with a spring-loaded docking port that flexes to accommodate each model without adapters or other manual adjustments. The Zeppelin can also be fixed to a wall with its own purpose-built wall-bracket, available as an additional accessory.
The less physical material there is around tweeters and midranges, the better they sound. Zeppelin's rounded, tapering ends aren't there just for show. By minimizing the baffle area around the drive units, the cabinet reduces diffraction effects, making for ultra-wide sound dispersion and a much smoother response. In other words, it sounds as good as it looks.
The twin midrange drive units that supply the bulk of Zeppelin's amazing sound rely on glass fiber cones, optimized using laser inferferometry. Strategically placed resin-filled slots in the cones dramatically reduce the unwanted effects of standing waves, leaving music sounding cleaner, clearer, and true to life.
Handling high frequencies is a pair of aluminum dome tweeters that include refinements made for the latest Bowers and Wilkins 800 series, including Nautilus tube loading, which acts like an acoustic black hole, swallowing superfluous sound from behind the dome. Sweeter tweeters you'll never hear.
Your iPod and iPhone are treasure troves. Pristine digital copies of thousands of tracks, all waiting to be played to their full potential. Zeppelin sets them all free. A full stereo system in one unit, it releases all of the detail and atmosphere that standard speaker systems miss. Thanks to its unique floating arm and universal docking platform, you can play nearly any iPod, including Touch and iPhone on the Zeppelin and control it as easy as if it were in your hand. The Zeppelin itself features the bare minimum of controls, making full use of the intuitive control system that comes as second nature to all iPod and iPod users. Station it in a den, bedroom, kitchen, office, or second home, or enjoy a simpler, more stylish replacement for your traditional audio system. Zeppelin rocks, wherever you are.
