Wireless music stream from iPod
That’s what EOS is proposing with a cool set of products, one iPod docking station + a set of satellite receivers. I’m always amused to see the success of iPod plugins and how they would fill hundreds of square meter at every CES since a few years…
By the way this year is iPod’s 10th anniversary (already)… time is going way too fast !
Here’s what the PR sez:
The Eos system consists of a base unit/transmitter and up to 4 self-contained remote speaker/receivers. For listening pleasure — users can drop any iPod with a docking connector or iPhone onto the dock on the base unit, or plug any other audio source — XM or Sirius satellite radio, San Disk or Zune MP3 players, computers, CD players, stereos, etc. into the auxiliary analog input on the back. Both the Eos base station transmitter and wireless speaker/receivers feature full 2.1 Stereo with left + right channel audio as well as a ported subwoofer for rich, full sounding bass. Additionally, Eos incorporates SRS WOW! Technology that improves the dynamic audio performance of the system.
Eos is available as a Core System bundle, which includes the base unit and one additional speaker, for $249.99. EOS wireless stereo speakers are also available separately for $129.99. You can purchase EOS Wireless products at www.eoswireless.com, as well as other online retailers like www.bestbuy.com, www.costco.com, www.circuitcity.com and www.radioshack.com.
No word on the RF technology used though, be curious to know why this thing is so expensive…
