After the amazing success of the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin, B&W have utilised that technology and know-how and produce the all-new Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini! Don't let it's (comparatively) diminutive stature fool you into thinking that this is just a Zeppelin-lite. The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini incorporates over 40 years of speaker design experience from the company that provides the monitoring equipment at the famous Abbey Road Studios and in George Lucas' SkyWalker mastering suites. Perfect for any room in your house or office, the Zeppelin Mini produces crisp, deep, lifelike stereo sound and delivers musical detail that you never thought your iPod was capable of.

Features (Overview)
- Form Meets Function: Zeppelin Mini is an attention-grabber even before you’ve switched it on. Just like its bigger brother the Zeppelin, it’s a sleek, robust piece of design – the perfect partner to your iPod or iPhone, and a stylish addition to any home or work space. But Zeppelin Mini’s beauty is much more than skin deep. Every single feature, from the continuous curve of the cabinet to the elegant way the iPod docks with the speaker, is designed with your listening enjoyment in mind. So it’s not just a pleasure to look at: it’s a joy to use too.
- Digital Signal Processing: 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.
- From the studio to your living room: 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.
- Flowport: Bass is all about air movement. In order to produce really powerful, atmospheric bass effects, you need plenty of space within the speaker for the air generated by the bass units to move around freely. It’s a problem for smaller speakers - but not for Zeppelin Mini, whose Flowport gives the speaker’s mighty bass driver the air it needs to breath, while also minimising any distortion caused by turbulence. So while the speaker might be mini, the bass it delivers is anything but.
- 90 degree rotation: Like Zeppelin, the design of Zeppelin Mini’s docking arm makes the most of the functionality of your iPod, positioning it just above the surface of the speaker at an angle that’s perfect for tapping a touch screen or tracking a scroll wheel. And this time we’ve been able to add something extra. The arm allows you to rotate the iPod to the horizontal position – ideal if you like to skip through your playlists using cover-flow, or for playing music videos.
- USB Digital Connection: Every track on your iPod is made up of digital information. For your music to sound as good as it can be, you need to preserve as much of that information as possible. With most iPod speakers the music is taken in analogue format from the ipod. This results in unneccessary coversion between analogue and digital signals, and when that happens, you risk losing some of this precious data. Zeppelin Mini is different. It’s one of the few of its kind with a USB digital connection, keeping the purity of the digital signal - and your music - intact.
- Native Design: It’s not surprising that Zeppelin Mini looks as good as the original – both speakers were designed by the same team. Based in London and led by acclaimed product designer Morten Warren, Native has been working with us for more than ten years, designing award winners like the 800 Series and the PV1 subwoofer. For the Zeppelin Mini, Morten and his team once again worked closely with our engineers at the Steyning Research Establishment to create a design worthy of the acoustic technology within.
