Pioneer Japan yesterday unveiled a new in-house audio system, the ACCO A-IW001 [JP], which comes with a set of speakers that need to be mounted on the ceiling. The device is also specifically designed to be iPod-compatible and comes with an iPod cradle.

Users can choose the music they want to listen to via the control device that also supports Internet radio. ACCO stands for Acoustic/Condition, and Pioneer is marketing the audio system as a lifestyle product.
