- iPOD NOT INCLUDED -- OVERVIEW -
Here are the speakers your iPod has been waiting for. Zeppelin is an integrated iPod speaker system from Bowers & Wilkins, makers of the speakers that much of the music on your iPod will have been monitored on. B&W creates technologies and systems that world-leading studios depend on and that find their way into even its most affordable speakers. Zeppelin will fill a room with crisp, deep, lifelike stereo sound, and deliver musical detail that you wont believe your iPod could deliver. Thats because the two have so much in common: blissfully simple design and world-leading technologies that let you get the most out of your music.
Take a look at your iPod whether its an iPod Nano, 5G or one of the other MP3 player the Zeppelin supports. High quality digital copies of thousands of tracks, each one sitting there, waiting to be heard in all its glory. Zeppelin sets them all free. A full stereospeaker system in one unit, it releases all of the detail and atmosphere that standard iPodspeaker systemsmiss. Compact enough to tuck under your arm, it can set you free, too.
Zeppelin allows you to have real hi-fi stereo sound wherever you need it: upstairs, downstairs or perhaps in a den, bedroom, kitchen, office or second home. Or you might just need a simpler, smaller and more stylish replacement for your traditional audio system. Zeppelin rocks, wherever you are, yet is simple to set up and use. Plug it in, place your iPod on the docking port and hit the play button. You can vary the volume on Zeppelin itself, on its remote control or on the iPod. And connections at the back let you play other sources through Zeppelin or channel images from your iPod to a TV.
Zeppelin is a direct descendant of B&W's legendary reference speaker range. The 800 Series is sought-after by world-leading recording studios from Skywalker Ranch to Abbey Road. At Abbey Road Studios , for example, it has been a fixture since the early 1980s.
With that first series, we set out to develop a speaker system with no compromises; one modeled on the ideals of engineers and producers. New generations of the 800 Series have maintained its reputation for near-flawless sound. What artists play is what gets played back to them. With Zeppelin, the technologies that allow that to happen can be experienced in your own home.- SOUND -
Musics important. You know it, we know it. At Bowers & Wilkins, the quest to develop the perfect speaker has lasted more than 40 years. Just what do we mean by perfect? We mean a speaker that portrays a musical performance exactly as it was recorded, with zero colouration. Like you, we dont just want to hear music; we want to experience it, feel it and be a part of it. Founder John Bowers instilled a passion in the company to pursue his dream of the ultimate speaker. You wouldnt believe how close weve come. And you wouldnt believe the kind of lengths well go to get even closer.
With Zeppelin, you get over 40 years of experience and know-how in speaker design, all in a single package; technologies developed for dedicated high-end speakers and applied to an iPod portable speaker dock for the first time. You also get a considered and intelligent piece of product design with clever ergonomic thought and beautiful 360 visual appeal.
The iPod's interface quickly became recognised 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 as normal. It also cleverly accommodates iPods of differing depth through a spring loaded docking port that flexes to accommodate each model without adapters or other manual adjustment.
Zeppelins stunning design was created by Native in London. Morten Warren, founder of Native, and his team have worked with Bowers & Wilkins for over 10 years, designing award-winning classics such as the 800 Series and the PV1 subwoofer. Working closely with B&Ws engineering team at the world renowned Steyning Research Establishment, they together developed a vision for a simple, bold and compact form that offers an ideal acoustic engineering envelope. Another classic in the making.
The tonal balance from any speaker is affected by its surroundings. It will have more bass when placed next to walls than it will out in the open. So that it will sound good in any situation - on an open table, back to the wall or even in a corner - Zeppelin incorporates custom tone shaping to adapt to them all, easily accessed through the iPod's own menu system.
Zeppelins sound can also be optimised physically through the use of the supplied tilt pad. Zeppelin subtly leans back in its standard mode but where its used at or above ear height the tilt pad elegantly angles it to more upright position for optimum clarity,
Various other devices can play sound through Zeppelin and the bass level settings described in the Sound section are also applied to these devices.Both analogue and optical digital connectivity is supported by a common (AUX) socket on the back of Zeppelin.Examples of other sources are: MP3 players, including early iPods without click wheelCD players - portable or staticPortable radios with headphone or digital outputs.&Computer directComputer wirelessly using Apple Airport ExpressVideo iPods can make use of Zeppelins video output capability to connect to a television: composite video and S-Video standards are supported.
