Eos provides the capability of highly desired multi-room audio systems, without the expense and hassle of tearing up drywall and running wires all over.
Q: What is different about Eos’ wireless audio?
A: First, forget everything that you have ever experienced with wireless audio. Virtually all products on the market use 900mhz analog technology and exhibit poor range and are highly subject to interference. Eos Wireless technology is both long range and highly resistant to interference.
Q: How does Eos compare to Bluetooth?
A: Eos has twice the data rate and range of even the best Bluetooth solution available. Additionally, while Eos can broadcast to up to four wireless stereo satellite receivers, Bluetooth is capable of broadcasting to only one.

A: Eos is full 48KHz digital stereo (CD quality) to all wireless satellite receivers. The uncompromised sound quality broadcast from Eos is indistinguishable from wired speakers.
Q: Can I broadcast other audio through the Eos base station/transmitter?
A: Yes. The Eos base station/transmitter features an auxiliary input jack, allowing audio from any analog source (computer, satellite/cable radio, Zune, SanDisk or other MP3 players…) to be broadcast to the Eos wireless speakers.
Q: What frequency does Eos broadcast at?
A: Eos broadcasts in the 2.4GHz frequency band. EOS “effectively" eliminates interference with 2.4 GHz cordless phones, microwave ovens and wireless IEEE 802.11b/g/n networks by combining digital 2.4 GHz adaptive frequency hopping spread spectrum technology with our proprietary technology enabling the transmitters to search for open channels in order to avoid interference from and to other 2.4 GHz devices.
Q: How does Eos avoid interference from other devices on that frequency?
A: Eos uses proprietary Digital Spread Spectrum (DSS) Technology that is constantly navigating the band looking for clear channels to broadcast in. Should interference be encountered, any missed packets are retransmitted to the speaker.
Q: What is the range of the Eos system?
A: Eos broadcasts up to 150 feet through walls and floors…even outdoors. Eos’ range is sufficient to cover virtually any sized home.
