Zeppelin Mini

With Zeppelin Mini, you get everything you love about Zeppelin – advanced acoustic technology, intelligent design, elegant connectivity – in a streamlined, compact sound dock package that’s perfect smaller spaces.

Zeppelin Mini

Zeppelin™ Mini is an attention-grabber even before you’ve switched it on. Just like its bigger brother the Zeppelin, it’s a sleek, robust piece of design – the perfect partner to your iPod or iPhone, and a stylish addition to any home or work space.

But Zeppelin Mini’s beauty is much more than skin deep. Every single feature, from the continuous curve of the cabinet to the elegant way the iPod docks with the speaker, is designed with your listening enjoyment in mind. So it’s not just a pleasure to look at: it’s a joy to use too.

Zeppelin Mini’s drive units are like sections of an orchestra, reproducing everything from the delicate frequencies of a violin to the bass impact of a kick drum. But even the greatest orchestra needs a conductor to ensure the parts are working together as they should. Digital Signal Processing optimises the response of each unit, adjusting the sound balance depending on the signal. Which means all the subtle dynamics of your music are beautifully preserved, no matter how loud you play it.
