Portland, Oregon – (October 29, 2010) – Aperion Audio, a direct-to-consumer maker of award-winning home theater speaker systems, is pleased to announce the Aperion Zona Wireless Surround System. Using a compact wireless transmitter and two powered bookshelf speakers with tuned ports and built-in receivers, the Zona system allows access to speaker locations you never thought possible. Zona speakers require a simple power outlet and that’s it, no setup and no running wires. Place the speakers where you want, plug them into a power outlet, plug the transmitter into the audio source, and instantly play high-fidelity sound streamed wirelessly. Currently available for $499 at www.AperionAudio.com, the Zona Wireless Surround System is shipping now.

A common problem in home theater systems is wire clutter and setup. “Nobody likes wires snaking throughout their home,” says Aperion Audio’s Home Theater Guru Jason Hicks. “When speaking with our customers we found that many leave surround or rear speakers unconnected because they couldn’t find a simple or neat way to run the wires. Most other wireless solutions on the market suffer from poor fidelity, complex setup, and an unreliable connection.” Zona solves all those problems with a self-contained, high-end wireless system that lets home theater enthusiasts add surround sound wherever they want.

Aperion crafted Zona’s speakers to work aesthetically and sonically with most home theater systems. The compact transmitter connects to surround pre-out jacks of an AVR or DVD player and the two speakers link automatically when plugged in. Once connected, the system produces uncompressed 16 bit/48 kHz CD-quality audio. Zona can also double as a high-end wireless solution for music stored on your computer or virtually any audio source. Using the USB port you can send audio to speakers located up to 150 feet away.
