Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin
An all-in-one hi-fi solution for all your audio needs, the Zeppelin offers a sleek, iconic body housing five speakers that produce only the clearest sound from your iPhone, iPod, computer, television or any other sound source.
- Analog and optical digital AUX port for connecting various devices
- Connect to TV with composite and s-video output
- Midrange and tweeter derived from Bowers & Wilkins' advanced M-1 speaker
- Powerful bass from centrally located internal subwoofer
Overview
The award-winning B&W Zeppelin is the speaker your iPod and iPhone have been waiting for. It uses drive unit technologies and design principles refined and perfected for Bowers & Wilkins' most advanced reference-standard speakers.
Freedom to choose your sound source
Unlike most speaker docks, Zeppelin lets additional sound sources to play through Zeppelin, view videos on a screen using your iPod/iPod touch or iPhone and/or stream sound using Apple AirPort Express or any other networked audio streaming system.
Sounds as good as it looks
The Zeppelin's stunning body follows the form of its components, with two tweeters at each end, two mid-range drivers next with a subwoofer/bass driver in the center. The less physical material there is around tweeters and midranges, the better they sound. 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.
Superbly easy to use
Complimenting the iPod user interface, the docking port lets you grasp the iPod as if it were in your hand. It also cleverly accommodates iPod or iPhone models of differing depths with a spring-loaded docking arm that flexes to secure them without adapters or other manual adjustment.
Features
- Analog and optical digital AUX port for connecting earlier iPod models, television, CD players, computers and more
- Composite and s-video output for connecting to televisions for video output
- Midrange and tweeter derived from Bowers & Wilkins' award-winning and class-leading M-1 speaker
- Internal subwoofer centrally located for bass that has power and authority

- Docking arm that lets you grasp your iPod as if it were in your hand

Is it possible to remove the iPod dock? I want to use it with my airport express only!
- Asked by SF from Southampton
- Oct 27, 2009
Best Answer
Yes. You need to carefully pull off the rubber base. It is held in place by double sided adhesive tape. Undo the four security screws that hold the arm in place. Once the arm is lose, you will need to carefully unlock the ribbon cable connector and coax the cable out of the connector. Replace the rubber base. The tool to remove the screws is included in the optional wall mount bracket, which turns Zeppelin into a great 2.1 soundbar for your flat panel display.
