Eos are the world’s first digital wireless “whole home audio” speaker system for the iPod. It includes one wireless speaker and you’ve got to shell out another $129 for additional speakers. In addition, there’s also a weatherproof outdoor amp option, for cool garden parties and times when you’re kicked off from the house thanks to a fight with your wife.

Using WiFi friendly technology, the Eos system links up to four stereo remote wireless speakers, establishing interference-free CD sound quality (48Khz) via each satellite speaker up to 150 feet away.

At the heart of the Eos system is an iPod docking base station/ transmitter that has two stereo drivers and a ported sub-woofer and SRS Wow sound enhancement technology. The characteristics 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 have two stereo drivers and a ported subwoofer. The wireless remote speaker has a removable, built-in 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.

The Eos Wireless iPod Speaker system will be hitting stores on March 2007. The core Eos Wireless iPod Speaker system includes a docking station/transmitter with one wireless remote speaker ($299). Additional Eos wireless speaker remotes, as well an Eos weatherproof wireless outdoor amplifier and a stand-alone transmitter/receiver bundle are available separately ($129).
