YOU HAVE TAKEN A LEAP OF FAITH. A step towards a world of wireless bliss. It takes a great deal

of courage to liberate yourself from the shackles of speaker cables and ordinary stereo systems.

But you have jumped right into it. FOR THIS WE SALUTE YOU.

We have done everything in our power to make your Libratone sound system as simple and user

friendly as possible. Hopefully this manual will answer any questions you might have.

Thank you for buying our product. Thank you for joining the revolution.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Libratone Zipp is based on a patent-pending audio technology. We call it FullRoom™ sound.

Allow us to explain:

Regular speakers have closed cabinets. They push the sound waves in one direction - forward.

Libratone Zipp, on the other hand, plays like an acoustic instrument, dispersing sound waves

in multiple directions giving you a 360° sound experience.

Libratone Zipp has no front or back. This means that wherever the speaker is placed, the

round shape assists the stereo sound and encapsulates everyone around in sound.

We call it the social speaker.

FULLROOM™ MUSIC AT HOME AIRPLAY

AirPlay is a technology designed by Apple to transmit audio and video instantly from source

to source within a Wi-Fi network. Once AirPlay is installed, you can stream from iTunes - both

on Mac and PC - or you can use your iOS devices: iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. This means that

you have your entire music and movie library in the palm of your hand, ready to be set free.

MUSIC ON THE GO

Libratone PlayDirect™ is AirPlay to go. It allows you to stream your music wirelessly in non-Wi-Fi

areas from PC/Mac or your iOS devices: iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Libratone PlayDirect™

technology creates a direct network connection between your speaker and music device

making Libratone Zipp the ideal portable speaker anywhere you go.
