  • Page 3 Bowers & Wilkins creates technologies and systems that world-leading studios depend on, and that find their way into even its most affordable speakers. Zeppelin will fill a room with crisp, deep, lifelike stereo sound, and deliver a greater level of musical detail from your iPod than you’d think possible.
  • Page 4 Passion for music Music is important. You know it, we know it. At Bowers & Wilkins, the quest to develop the perfect loudspeaker has lasted more than 40 years. What do we mean by perfect? We mean a speaker that portrays a musical performance exactly as it was recorded, with zero coloration.
  • Page 7 The reference speaker Zeppelin is a direct descendant of Bowers & Wilkins’ legendary reference speaker range. The 800 Series is sought-after by world-leading recording studios.

  • Page 18 Inner strength Zeppelin’s elegant cabinet is actually a clever composite shell comprising a highly-damped constrained layer in between a stiff polymer inner-casing and a heavy stainless steel cover. This ensures the cabinet has the highest possible strength so what you hear is the music and not the cabinet.
  • Page 20 Don’t take our word for it Since its launch, Zeppelin has won global acclaim for the unrivalled brilliance of its acoustics and design, garnering glowing reviews and an unprecedented number of major awards.
