The original Bower & Wilkins Zeppelin iPod Dock – shown above in the back – was perhaps one of the few Apple iPod docks that probably came with a hernia warning in the instructions. It was huge.

So B&W has just released the Zeppelin Mini… which looks just fine as-is; even though it’s still a bit on the big side. But… it’s all the better to pump out your tunes in high-quality my dear!

Zeppelin Mini attains the same high standards in sound quality and design set by Zeppelin, but in a more compact form. It is reduced in size, not in sound, and has amazing volume levels for such a diminutive package. It’s ideal for lounges just like its larger sibling, but it can easily be slotted into a bedroom, kitchen, or student digs.

Key differentiating features include an updated docking arm. On the original this innovative solution worked incredibly well, allowing hassle-free mounting of any iPod, and easy access to Apple’s user-friendly interface. These qualities remain, but the addition of USB connectivity allows Zeppelin Mini to bypass the analogue output stage of any iPod, providing access to the very best digital sound an iPod has to offer.

Thanks Erika for the tip!
