Home theater and hi-fi speaker specialists Bowers & Wilkins has introduced the Zeppelin Mini iPod speaker system.
The Zeppelin Mini is a more compact version of the award winning B&W Zeppelin speaker, which received a Macworld Editors' Choice and five star review in 2008.
The speaker system makes use of key technology such as Nautilus, Flowport, that combines with digital advances such as Digital EQ to provide a clean, room filling sound along with quality base levels. The sound also benefits from new DSP-intensive projects such as the in-car system developed for the new Jaguar XJ says the company.
Key differentiating features between the Zeppelin and Zeppelin Mini, include an updated docking arm. The addition of USB connectivity allows the Zeppelin Mini to bypass the analogue output stage of any iPod, providing access to the very best digital sound an iPod has to offer insists B&W.
The docking arm now rotates 90 degrees to allow for a more varied viewing angle, for watching videos, viewing podcasts and selecting tracks via the iPod's Cover Flow.
The Zeppelin Mini also adds the ability to stream music direct from your Mac or PC via a dedicated USB socket, which also offers the advantage of letting you synchronise your iPod or iPhone with your computer.
The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini will available in the UK from October 2009 with a SRP of 299.
