B&W Zeppelin Air iPod^® Speakers

Advanced audio

Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin™ re-wrote the rules for iPod® speaker docks. Now Zeppelin Air provides another seismic shift in audio performance. It retains the original's classic shape, but internally Zeppelin Air has been completely redesigned. The result is the best sounding iPod speaker ever produced. Compared to the original multi-award winning Zeppelin it has improved dynamics, punchier bass, and a more open, lifelike presentation with a highly detailed, room-filling sound.

Sound dispersion

The original Zeppelin's unique shape was designed to help sound dispersion. Zeppelin Air retains that shape, but now features smaller mid-range drive units to help the sound dispersion even further. This produces a more open, natural sound than has yet been heard on a dedicated iPod speaker. Combined with the same tweeters as the award-winning MM-1 computer speakers, Zeppelin Air delivers an incredibly detailed, wide, room filling performance.

Digital signal processing

Zeppelin Air's proprietary Bowers & Wilkins Digital Signal Processing (DSP) using double-precision processing and in-house algorithms optimises drive unit control. Simply put, this means Zeppelin Air performs like a considerably larger loudspeaker and produces room filling, controlled bass no matter how loud you like your music.

Audiophile DAC

In the digital world, the Digital to Analogue Converters (DAC) are vital for getting the best from high-quality drive units. On Zeppelin Air all inputs are up-sampled through the audiophile-quality 96kHz/24bit DAC, including wireless music using AirPlay®. This has the effect of lowering distortion, creating a smoother sound. There's also the option for studio quality 24bit audio via the optical input.

AirPlay®

Apple's AirPlay technology allows music to be streamed wirelessly from your Mac or PC to Zeppelin Air. You can even bypass the computer entirely, and stream high-quality audio directly from your iPhone®, iPad® or iPod touch®. All without the need to dock the device. If you have more than one Zeppelin Air, you can use them in an elegant multiroom system

USB connectivity

There's no need to undock your iPod or iPhone if you want to sync it with iTunes or add more playlists - you can do it all through Zeppelin Air. Simply connect the speaker to your computer by USB and your iPod will be linked directly to iTunes. Syncing contacts, apps, bookmarks, calendars and playlists couldn't be easier.

From your computer

Imagine being able to select and listen to any track from your entire music collection, instantly. In pristine quality. Zeppelin Air makes it a reality. AirPlay allows Zeppelin Air to wirelessly connect to any PC or Mac running iTunes. You can browse your collection there, or use an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad as the world's coolest remote control. For the world's coolest hi-fi. And it uses Apple Lossless for faultless transfer.

In your hand

An iPod or iPhone is the perfect place to store your favourite music. Always to hand, and easily accessible. With Zeppelin Air you can listen without the need to dock. Simply select the track you want, and AirPlay lets you play it instantly. And if you move from one room to another, you can simply select a different Zeppelin Air and play it there, too. And its not just music: movies and apps also benefit.

Multiroom music

One Zeppelin Air is fantastic. But add more for an elegant multiroom system. All with the minimum of fuss. And no wires. You can select which room to play your current favourite track in using your computer and iTunes. Or simply select every Zeppelin Air in your house, and fill your home with pristine sound in party mode

Dock Compatibility

The iPod interface is an iconic piece of design. Zeppelin Air complements this user interface, allowing the user to grasp the iPod® as if it were in the hand. It accommodates iPods and iPhones® of differing depth through a spring loaded docking port that flexes to accommodate each model. Zeppelin Air's dock connector works with iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPhone, iPod touch, (4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st generations) iPod classic and iPod nano (6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd and 2nd generations).
