FESTIVE GIFT GUIDE
TECHNOLOGY
Distinctive , innovative design For over 15 years , each new generation of Zeppelin has been a leader in beautiful and unique design in its class – and , like every Bowers & Wilkins design , its shape is defined by acoustics .
Available in two finishes , one dark ( midnight grey ) and one light ( pearl grey ), the all-new and completely redesigned Zeppelin also includes switchable , dimmable ambient lighting to create a ‘ halo ’ effect on to its metal pedestal stand .
Bowers & Wilkins Reimagines the New Zeppelin For The Streaming Age
Renowned British audio brand Bowers & Wilkins has launched its all-new Zeppelin wireless speaker , reborn and reimagined for the streaming age . The new Zeppelin is now both smarter and more flexible , while its high-resolution sound is more detailed and dynamic than ever .
First introduced in 2007 as the ultimate iPod dock , the Zeppelin is returning in 2021 better-sounding , better-looking and smarter than ever .
Engineered for performance The new Zeppelin is a complete stereo system in one component , drawing on Bowers & Wilkins unrivalled expertise in premium loudspeaker design for both studios and the home . It features reference quality
drive unit technologies arranged in dedicated left and right speaker assemblies around a central , large subwoofer , all powered by 240W of amplification . The result is room-filling stereo sound no single-box rival can match .
Every generation of Zeppelin has been the best-sounding system of its era . The new Zeppelin , by combining proven drive unit technology with its new high-resolution streaming platform , is simply the best yet . The overall result is an exceptional musical performance whether from a wirelessly connected source or via a streaming service .
The Music You Love , Instantly If you want to stream music from your mobile device , tablet or computer , the new Zeppelin includes both AirPlay 2 and aptX Adaptive Bluetooth , making it suitable for both iOS and Android users .
Spotify fans can also enjoy the convenience of Spotify Connect , ensuring both high-quality sound and convenient , easy operation . And best of all , the new Zeppelin can also be controlled via the Bowers & Wilkins Music App , which gives instant access to a host of streaming services including Deezer , Last . fm , Qobuz , Soundcloud , TIDAL and TuneIn .
Connected , Smart , Intuitive The new Zeppelin offers Alexa built-in : no need for any external components . Simply ask for the song you want to hear , and your Zeppelin will oblige . If you prefer , your Zeppelin can be operated by physical buttons on the top rear of its elegant enclosure .
Zeppelin has also been engineered to last . Its powerful digital ‘ brain ’ can be upgraded over time , with multi-room capability planned for introduction in early 2022 . That will make it compatible with both other new Zeppelins in a multiroom environment or , if you prefer , a multiroom system based on Bowers & Wilkins own Formation range of high-resolution wireless speakers .
The Beauty of Sound So , the Zeppelin is reborn , better than ever in every regard . With the new Zeppelin , you no longer have to choose between a fully featured wireless speaker with the streaming services you need and a sleek , sophisticated design with the room-filling sound you want . Now , you can have both .
