Air your Tunes with Zeppelin Air Wireless Speaker Dock

For the very best iPod dock sound, it’s time to take your tunes air bound.

The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air is the ultimate wireless iPod speaker dock, recreating the best possible sound from compressed music files and utilising Apple’s patented AirPlay technology to provide high quality wireless streaming from iTunes or an iOS device.

The latest in a line of acclaimed Zeppelin speakers from legendary British loudspeaker company Bowers & Wilkins, the Zeppelin Air is definitely the best sounding version yet, and features dramatic and innovative changes; whilst retaining the iconic shape of its predecessors.

It might boast the inimitable Zeppelin look, but internally the Zeppelin Air has been completely redesigned. The result is another major leap forward in iPod speaker innovation. With improved dynamics, punchier bass, lifelike presentation and a huge, highly detailed sound, you’ll think believe your favourite artists are performing in the room.

Unlike many iPod docks, the Zeppelin Air can deliver a large, detailed natural sound thanks to the combination of innovative design, and mid-range drive units to produce the greatest sound dispersion possible; and with proprietary B&W Digital Signal Processing allows the speaker to outperform much larger units.

They key to delivering the best possible sound in a digital format is with digital to analogue conversion. The Zeppelin Air features inputs which are up-sampled through the audiophile-quality 96kHz/24bit DAC, to create a smooth, distortion free sound; even when streaming wirelessly from iTunes, iPod or iPhone using Apple Airplay.

Beyond the unparalleled sound production of the product, the Zeppelin Air boasts ingenious docking design which allows the user to grasp their iPod or iPhone device in hand, while the device is docked to the speaker; and 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).

But AirPlay technology allows you to play music from your device or iTunes wirelessly, and even more impressively, more than one Zeppelin Air can be used within the room in a simple multiroom set up whilst syncing to the same device. And this connectivity works both ways as a device docked in the Zeppelin Air can sync wirelessly with iTunes on your PC or Mac for the transfer of music applications and much more.
