IntelliTouch has announced its new wireless home audio system for iPods, "Eos."

The system uses wireless technology and lets users connect up to four stereo remote wireless speakers to deliver high quality sound. Eos also integrates a technology called GigaWave, itself designed to apply error correction for the bet possible sound output. The system works at up to 150ft distance.

Eos consists of an iPod docking base station/transmitter. This features two high performance stereo drivers and a ported sub-woofer. The system also offers SRS WOW sound enhancement technology, which improves the dynamic audio performance of compressed and uncompressed audio and helps deliver a rich bass response.

The Eos remote wireless speakers boast two high-performance stereo drivers and a ported subwoofer and a removable, integrated power supply that allows the speaker to mount directly on a wall power outlet without mounting brackets.

Additional Eos wireless accessories include a weatherproof wireless outdoor amplifier, which features two audio zones with separate volume controls.

This system ships in the US this coming March. The core system includes a docking station/transmitter with one wireless remote speaker: this costs US$299. Additional speakers and other devices cost US$129 each.
