B&W Zeppelin Mini

We’ve done it again. It wasn't long ago that Zeppelin revolutionised the way we listen to our iPods, sweeping away the competition and scooping just about every award going for its incredible sound and sleek looks. And now it’s back. Only this time, it’s smaller.

With Zeppelin Mini, you get everything you love about Zeppelin – advanced acoustic technology, intelligent design, elegant connectivity – in a streamlined, compact sound dock package that’s perfect for desktops and bedside tables. Because even when your space is limited, it doesn’t mean your sound has to be.

At Bowers & Wilkins, the quest to develop the perfect speaker has lasted over 40 years. Just what do we mean by perfect? We mean a speaker that portrays a musical performance exactly as it was recorded, with zero colouration. Like you, we don’t just want to hear music; we want to experience it, feel it and be a part of it, and that’s the case whether we are listening to a high-end hi-fi or an Apple iPod.

Our founder John Bowers instilled a passion in his company to pursue his dream of the ultimate speaker. You wouldn’t believe how close we’ve come. And you wouldn’t believe the kind of lengths we’ll go to get even closer.

Zeppelin Mini’s drive units are like sections of an orchestra, reproducing everything from the delicate frequencies of a violin to the bass impact of a kick drum. But even the greatest orchestra needs a conductor to ensure the parts are working together as they should. Digital Signal Processing optimises the response of each unit, adjusting the sound balance depending on the signal. Which means all the subtle dynamics of your music are beautifully preserved, no matter how loud you play it.

All over the world, demanding recording studios depend on our speakers for their near-flawless sound reproduction. But we don’t reserve our best technology just for studios. Zeppelin Mini was developed with exactly the same acoustic engineering principles we use to make the speakers in the control room of Abbey Road Studios. So you can trust Bowers & Wilkins with the music on your iPod. The people who made it already do.
