FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New iPod Speaker System First to Deliver Wireless “Whole Home” Audio, Supports up to 4 Individual Wireless Stereo Satellite Speakers
System Broadcasts CD Quality Sound up to 150 Feet
throughout your Home—Inside or Out
Las Vegas, NV – January 7, 2007 -- IntelliTouch today announced “Eos,” the world’s first digital wireless “multi-room audio” speaker system for iPod. Using breakthrough WiFi friendly technology, the Eos system links up to four stereo remote wireless speakers, establishing interference-free CD sound quality (48Khz). Eos’ GigaWave® technology employs error correction and a unique frequency hopping scheme for a range of up to 150 feet (50 meters) through walls and ceilings in both indoor and outdoor environments.
At the heart of the Eos system is an iPod docking base station/transmitter that features two high performance stereo drivers and a ported sub-woofer. The system features the added benefit of SRS WOW® sound enhancement technology. SRS WOW improves the dynamic audio performance of compressed and uncompressed audio by expanding the size of the audio image and creating a deep, rich bass response. The attributes of the SRS WOW signal are broadcast to all the wireless stereo remote speakers linked to the base station/transmitter.
Like the base station, the Eos remote wireless speakers boast two high-performance stereo drivers and a ported subwoofer. The revolutionary design of the wireless remote speaker features a removable, integrated power supply that allows the speaker to mount directly on a wall power outlet independently, without mounting brackets or other support. By removing the power supply from its cavity on the rear of the cabinet, the stereo remote speaker can sit independently on a counter top or bookshelf.
Sound quality from both the dock and satellite speakers is best in class. “Our acoustic design team took solid aim at leaders in the category,” said IntelliTouch Executive VP Jeff O’Shea. “As good as the sound quality is, what is truly phenomenal is Eos’ audio link. The Eos system broadcasts impeccable CD quality sound throughout the home -- without the expense and hassle of tearing up drywall and running wires all over. Forget everything you’ve ever experienced with wireless speaker systems of the past; Eos’ wireless technology has to be heard to be believed.” said O’Shea.
Other Eos wireless accessories include a weatherproof wireless outdoor amplifier, which features two audio zones with separate volume controls. This allows the user to broadcast and control high quality digital sound outside their home, without having to cut a hole in the house and run wires to do so. The weatherproof outdoor amp can be connected to any standard landscape or outdoor speakers on the market. Also available is a stand-alone transmitter/receiver bundle with the same outstanding Eos GigaWave wireless performance.
The groundbreaking Eos system will be available at retail in March 2007. The core system includes a docking station/transmitter with one wireless remote speaker ($299 MSRP). Additional Eos wireless speaker remotes, as well as the Eos weatherproof wireless outdoor amplifier and the stand-alone transmitter/receiver bundle are available separately ($129 MSRP).
The Eos system can be experienced by appointment only at the IntelliTouch Product Salon in Caesars Palace during CES show hours. To schedule an appointment or get more information on the Eos products, please contact Brittany Roth at broth@sspr.com or by phone at (847) 415-9307.
