Studio-standard technology
Bowers & Wilkins 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.
Mids
Handling high frequencies is a pair of aluminium dome tweeters featuring an adapted version of Bowers & Wilkins' trademark Nautilus™ tweeter tube. The twin midrange drive units that supply the bulk of Zeppelin’s amazing sound rely on highly-optimised glass fibre cones. Zeppelin’s central bass unit features an oversized magnet and 4-layer voice coil drive the Kevlar®-reinforced 5" cone. This helps to ensure Zeppelin™ can produce real bass extension of the sort you would normally associate with much larger speaker systems.
Ultra-wide sound
The less physical material there is around tweeters and midranges, the better they sound. That’s one of reasons why Bowers & Wilkins speakers are such distinctive shapes. 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.
Sound adjustment
The Zeppelin™ has several settings built into it by Bowers & Wilkins which allow a user to tailor its sound for different locations and rooms. This function is simply and quickly assessed via the iPod thumbwheel which, when docked with a Zeppelin, produces a new menu item called Speakers.
