Welcome

The Accolade™ Wireless Audio Set allows you to transmit digital audio from an Epson MovieMate or a stereo receiver). If you don’t have access to an audio system, you can use the Wireless Audio Set’s built-in 15-watt amplifier to power a pair of unpowered speakers.

You can also use the Wireless Audio Set to transmit audio from a standard DVD player with an optical or coaxial audio output to an audio system or a pair of unpowered speakers. This allows you to conveniently transmit audio wirelessly to your audio system while using a projector and DVD player that are not in close proximity to your audio system.
