AirPlay Connection
Zeppelin Air is able to play audio from iTunes either
wirelessly or via a wired (Ethernet) connection using
AirPlay streaming technology. When connected to
the same network as a computer running iTunes,
Zeppelin Air can appear as an output option in the
pop-up AirPlay menu. See Section 5 for information
on configuring Zeppelin Air to join your home
network and on configuring iTunes to play through
Zeppelin Air.
Note: Please ensure you have installed the latest
version of iTunes.
Note: A standard Ethernet cable is required if you
wish to connect your Zeppelin Air to an Ethernet
network.
As well as streaming audio from iTunes, AirPlay
also makes it possible to stream audio directly to
Zeppelin Air from an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad
Any iPod touch, iPhone or iPad application that
incorporates a volume control will have an additional
icon that enables selection of available remote
speakers for playback. Any AirPlay device within
wireless range will be included in the selection list.
iPod Dock with Lightning connector
Zeppelin Air's Lightning connector works with
iPhone 5, iPod touch (5th generation) and iPod
nano (7th generation). Older iPod and iPhone
models or alternative music players, may be used by
connecting their headphone sockets to the Zeppelin
Air rear panel AUX input. iPhone and iPod models
are charged when docked if the Zeppelin Air is on, in
Standby or Sleep mode.
USB Input
If you wish to listen to audio either stored or
streamed on your Mac/PC using the Zeppelin Air
USB input, connect it using a USB cable from a
Mac/PC USB socket.
Note: A USB A-B cable (a USB printer cable) is
required if you wish to connect your Zeppelin
Air to a Mac/PC for any use other than wireless
AirPlay streaming. For reliable operation the
cable should not exceed 3m (10 ft) in length. The
Zeppelin Air should be connected directly to the
Mac/PC USB port and not via any intermediate
USB hardware.
Auxiliary Input
If you wish to listen to an external analogue or
digital audio source, connect it to the Zeppelin Air
AUX input socket using either an analogue cable
terminated with a mini-jack plug or a digital cable
terminated with a mini-TosLink optical plug. Zeppelin
Air will automatically identify the type of cable used
and configure the AUX input socket appropriately.
Note: Zeppelin Air is able to play stereo digital
audio at up to 24 bit/96kHz resolution. It is not
compatible with surround-sound encoded 5.1
channel digital audio.
Mains Input
Connect the Zeppelin Air to a mains outlet socket
using the supplied mains cable.
