B&W. Zeppelin

B&W. Zeppelin

iPod dock

The best IPod Dock available made by a brand you can trust. The B&W Zeppelin comes from the famous Bowers and Wilkins stable of superb sounding speakers.

But it's not all about iPods. TheB&W Zeppelin features a combined analogue stereo and optical digital input, so you can connect other devices such as CD players, tuners and non-iPod MP3 players.

Hifi Corner's MD Colin says of the B&W Zeppelin, "When I first heard this I completely forgot any thoughts that I should buy any other sound dock for MP3's. Cheaper ones sound, well, cheap, in comparison"

Bowers & Wilkins takes its quest for true sound to a new level. Zeppelin is the first integrated iPod speaker system designed by Bowers & Wilkins and will provide a level of sound quality usually available only through dedicated hi-fi separates.

Zeppelin is the product of Bowers & Wilkins 40-plus years of experience and know-how in speaker design in a single package; technologies developed for dedicated high-end speakers applied as iPod speakers for the first time. Zeppelin is an entirely new creation, designed according to principles pioneered on high-performance B&W models, from the extraordinary shape of its shell to the specially tailored studio-standard technologies within.

Hifi quality sound in a small box!
Colin (Hifi Corner's MD) says," When we first heard this we were amazed at its value, it even sounded great from an USB attached to a keyring. The joke was the best keyring in the world! However we are confident it won't disgrace CD either!"

Arcam has kept the audiophile promise we have made for thirty years but can now deliver delightfully engaging sound from a single stylish and easy to use unit.

Building on the original Solo music system but in a smaller form factor, the Solo mini provides premium performance in a discrete and stylish unit. An ideal partner with the Muso speakers, the Solo Mini system features a CD player, radio tuner (FM/DAB or FM/AM) and iPod interface using the rDock or rLead. In addition a front panel USB input allows USB memory devices to be played (MP3 and WMA files supported).

Using sophisticated circuitry taken from higher priced Arcam components, the sound quality available from the Solo mini system is without equal at the price. A Torroid based power supply ensures even demanding bass lines are delivered without compromise to other instruments or voices.

Using the DACs and high precision clock from the company’s award winning CD73, digital sources are processed with extremely high precision allowing fine detail to be reproduced with breathtaking clarity. The Solo mini uses the same high current power amplifiers as the full size Solo music system ensuring a truly dynamic experience even at louder volume levels.
