Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin MM-1 Computer Speakers

Once they were for filling out spreadsheets and typing letters. Now computers are used for almost everything: socializing, playing games, listening to music, watching videos. No longer will users have to make do with sub-standard audio, for Bowers &n Wilkins Zeppelin MM-1 Speakers are true hi-fi speakers, shrunk to fit on your desktop. The MM-1 are full range speakers incorporating USB streaming to avoid dependence on the analogue output of the PC, which may be unsatisfactory.

Designed by the same acoustic engineering team that developed Bowers & Wilkins high-end Series speakers, the MM-1 draws on close to five decades of experience in audio excellence. Unlike many desktop solutions, the MM-1 is a serious hi-fi speaker: a full range, active, near field monitor, with two separate drive units including an aluminum dome tweeter for a refined treble performance.

Key proprietary Bowers & Wilkins technologies such as Nautilus™ Tube Loaded tweeters find their way into a speaker of this type for the first time. New DSP technologies such as Bowers & Wilkins’ own Dynamic EQ maximizes bass output, and allows the MM-1 to provide full range sound without the need to resort to a subwoofer.

All hi-fi set ups have a sweet spot – the area in the listening space where music sounds at its best. With full size hi-fi , that area is usually some distance away from the speakers. Bowers & Wilkins have made electronic adjustments to the MM-1 to make sure the sweet spot is only a few feet from the computer screen, where the typical user is sitting.

The MM-1 also has advantages for private listening, thanks to its high-quality headphone output. Audio from a computer passes through the MM-1′s DSP and into its headphone socket to produce a sound that’s a dramatic improvement over a standard PC or Mac headphone output.

The MM-1 comes supplied with a pebble remote control that provides intuitive control over the speaker, and also works within iTunes® and Windows Media Player on a Mac or PC.

In summary a product worthy of carrying the prestigious Bowers & Wilkins name!
