Bowers & Wilkins has released a Zeppelin speaker with updated aesthetics and smarter functionality. This new speaker supports wireless protocols including Qualcomm’s AptX Adaptive and Apple’s AirPlay 2. It also allows Alexa voice control for music playback.
Zeppelin first hit the market in 2007, this B&W 2020 Zeppelin is the first (in the company) to be completely wireless. A power socket and a USB-C connection for servicing.
B&W also revealed that it will provide support for the Zeppelin as part of a multi-room system early next year. The new Zeppelin features a pair of one-inch tweeters, two 3.5-inch mid-range speakers, and a single six-inch subwoofer driven by a total of 240W of amplification.
The Zeppelin used to be among the most desirable speakers in the age of iPod docks, but Bowers & Wilkins have lost ground to Sonos and Amazon as the multi-room audio and smart speakers market has grown.
With the company established and growing fast, Bowers & Wilkins developed its reputation for innovative design backed up by world-leading R&D. They introduced new forms and design concepts including Tweeter-on-Top, new cone materials such as Aramid fiber, and it all culminated in the launch of the iconic 801, soon to become the reference speaker of choice for many of the world’s leading recording studios.
