Bowers & Wilkins - Zeppelin Wireless

B&W Zeppelin Wireless is a very well-sounding speaker system with the function of wireless music streaming via modern bluetooth 5.0 technology compatible with adaptive aptX, Amazon Alexa, Apple AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect. The possibility of cooperation with a wide range of services such as TIDAL, Deezer, Qobuz and many others makes the loudspeaker ready for new services more and more commonly used by modern audio systems. High resolution combined with 24-bit sound quality serves the crystal clear, detailed and powerful sound known from Bowers & Wilkins. The design line of the Wireless model is taken from previous Zeppelin models, resembling a cocoon or a Cuban cigar, and everything else has been redesigned to meet modern technology. The Wireless model does not have a remote control in the set, but it is conveniently operated via mobile applications on phones and tablets for which it was created.

High power digital amplifiers combined with a well-matched DSP digital audio processing processor, equipped with 5 loudspeakers specially developed for Zeppelin, offers a standard that is hard to surpass the competition. The tweeters are the familiar B&W Nautilus 25mm aluminum dome tweeters, delivering clean, sparkling highs. Two 90mm FST speakers are responsible for the midrange quality. The bass is served by a 150mm speaker acting as a built-in subwoofer. The system provides sound with quite low bass in the range from 35Hz, which is no small feat for such a neat design in which, apart from speakers, there are digital power amplifiers with all the rest of the control electronics.

Sound

Zeppelin Wireless gives the listener the joy of listening to music, and is also simple and convenient to use. The detail of the details contained in the musical material is at a really high level. Hear the sparkling sounds of the cymbals that illuminate the high tones.

The voices of the vocalists have the right texture and scale, which makes them sound very authentic. The bass guitars purr with the right momentum, and the kick drum with the drum drum gives a dynamic rhythm that is very engaging in its message. Acoustic to electronic guitars sound resonant and very clear. The piano, violin and trumpets sound quite natural, and the vocal choirs are well displayed and located on stage. As a whole, we get a clean and strong presentation with good timing and a large momentum reflecting a wide spectrum and a three-dimensional sound stage.

Conclusion

Due to the needs of consumers, there are more and more loudspeakers of this type, but rich in their knowledge of HI-END loudspeakers, Bowers & Wilkins will provide a high level of sound that you will not be disappointed with.
