Bowers & Wilkins Unveils the Best Zeppelin Yet: Zeppelin Air

Bowers & Wilkins raised the bar for iPod speaker systems three years ago with the Zeppelin. Now they bring us the Zeppelin Air, completely redesigned with a new digital signal processor, two extra drivers, and, as you would expect with "Air" in the product's name, it comes fully integrated with Apple's AirPlay technology, allowing you to stream music wirelessly from iTunes, your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. B&W even bumped up the wattage to 150 (the original Zeppelin was 100).

Bowers & Wilkins tells us this is "the best sounding Zeppelin yet," with its fully active 2.1 design (all five units are driven by dedicated amplifiers), improved 4x25W + 1x50W output and updated drive units. But the addition of AirPlay is the real kicker here. Other than wirelessly streaming your music, AirPlay also lets you create a multi-room system with iTunes on your Mac or PC, delivering music to multiple Zeppelin Airs around your house.

Zeppelin Air also features Bowers & Wilkins Flowport technology, Dynamic EQ Digital Signal Processing, and new 24bit / 96KHz capacity DACs. It runs iOS 4.2 and is compatible with all iPod, iPad, iPod touch and iPhone models available.

Zeppelin Air will be available in March 2011 for $599.99. Find out more information at www.bowers-wilkins.com.
