Made for iPod

Zeppelin works with all the latest generation iPods including nano, Classic and Touch, and it also works with and charges the iPhone and iPhone 3G. Other, earlier iPods (4G, mini) can also benefit from Zeppelin’s high quality sound, and 3G iPods are also supported; however, Zeppelin will not charge their battery.

Adjustment

The tonal balance from any speaker is affected by its surroundings, and MP3 player speakers are no different. It will have more bass when placed next to walls than it will out in the open.

So that it will sound good in any situation - on an open table, back to the wall or even in a corner - Zeppelin incorporates custom tone shaping to adapt to them all. It’s easily accessed through the iPod's own menu system, where a new menu option called ‘Speakers’ is created when it is docked.

Other connectivity

It is made for iPod, but a variety of other devices can play sound through Zeppelin and the bass level settings described in the Sound section are also applied to these devices. Both analogue and optical digital connectivity is supported by a common (AUX) socket on the back of Zeppelin.

 

Examples of other sources are:

 

- Other MP3 players, including early iPods without click wheel

- CD players - portable or static

- Portable radios with headphone or digital outputs.

- Computer direct

- Computer wirelessly using Apple Airport Express™

Operation

Zeppelin’s power supply operates on all mains voltages from 100V to 240V. If you take it to a different country, it will automatically sense the incoming voltages and adjust itself accordingly. Zeppelin will not burn power unnecessarily either. If you are playing an iPod on Zeppelin and grab it in a rush on the way out, Zeppelin will automatically go into standby mode after 5 minutes of non use.
