Adjusting The Sound - Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Owner's Manual

Adjusting the sound

If you place Zeppelin with its back against a wall,
the bass level is boosted, and more so if it is in
a corner. Zeppelin's own bass output may be
adjusted to compensate.
When you dock a Group D iPod into Zeppelin,
an extra item called Speakers appears in its
top-level menu. If you select this option and then
choose Tone Control, you will get a list of Bass
level options.
With Group E devices, tap the Settings icon
on the touch screen. The Speakers item is added
to the list, but is hidden below the bottom of the
screen. Stroke the list upwards with your finger to
reveal the hidden items on the list.
In the default position, Bass 0, the balance is
adjusted for when Zeppelin is on an open table.
Bass -1 lowers the bass to match a single wall
and Bass -2 a corner. Personal preference is
important too, so we provide extra settings at each
end, Bass +1 and Bass -3. Choose whichever
sounds best to you. The change happens as soon
as you highlight the option.
The selected EQ setting is retained for any
other iPod you dock and to any second source
connected to the AUX input. So, if you have an
earlier model iPod, you can still adjust Zeppelin's
bass by borrowing a Group D or E device and it
will remain set for other models.
When using Zeppelin, we recommend that
you turn off any EQ in the iPod/iPhone itself
(Settings > iPod > Music EQ > Off for iPhone,
Settings > Music > EQ > Off for touch or
Settings > EQ > Off for other iPods).
