B&W Zeppelin iPod Speakers Australia

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 won't believe your iPod could deliver. That's 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.

The sleeker speaker
Take a look at your iPod " whether it's 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 stereoɳpeaker system in one unit, it releases all of the detail and atmosphere that standard iPodɳpeaker systemsɭiss. 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.

Shaped for sound
Not only is the shape of Zeppelin iPod docking station pleasing to the eye, it is also based on sound acoustic principles. One of the reasons tweeters are so small is that they disperse the tiny high frequency waves over a wider area than larger drivers.

What is less well known is that the size of the enclosure housing the tweeter also affects this dispersion and that's why Zeppelin's body narrows as the drivers get smaller.

Exactly the same principle is seen on the iconic B&W Nautilus speaker and models like those in the XT Series . So not only does Zeppelin give you clearer sound than simpler designs, but you can also enjoy that clarity over a wider listening area.

Studio-standard technology
As you'd expect, B&W developed its iPod� docking station with the same exacting standards as the speakers that sit in Abbey Road Studios or Skywalker Sound.

Drive units are the engine room of any speaker and Zeppelin's midrange and tweeter derive directly from those in our award-winning M-1, regarded by the world's specialist audio press as a class-leading compact speaker. Added to these is an internal subwoofer driver, centrally located in the deepest part of Zeppelin's sleek enclosure, where it handles deep bass with power and authority.

Powering these drive units are three high-quality amplifiers (one for left, one for right, and one for bass). Most iPod speakers make do without that third one, but Zeppelin was conceived to offer the sort of sound you'd expect from a component stereo system rather than normal iPod speakers

iPod Speaker Dock: Where form meets function
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.

Functionality
Zeppelin is primarily designed for the latest generation of iPods�- 5G and nano - both of which give full functionality. Other, earlier iPods (4G, mini) can also benefit from Zeppelin's high quality sound. 3G iPods are supported; however, Zeppelin will not charge their battery.
