Our take on the Geneva Sound System Model L

by Ralph Graves

The Geneva Sound System Model L houses a digital FM tuner, a slot-loading CD player and a dock for your iPod or iPhone with a hinged cover — all in a sleek, hand-made cabinet. And this handsome powered speaker system can easily fill your room with rich, natural sound.

This high-performance audio system features two 5-1/4" woofers to handle the midrange frequencies, with 1" tweeters to give you crystal-clear highs. Each driver has its own internal enclosure and amplifier channel, for the cleanest possible sound. Two ports help round out the low tones for an even fuller sound. And the system uses advanced signal processing to restore and improve the sound of your compressed music files.

The Model L comes with a remote that controls the basic functions of your iPod, such as play, pause, and skip. An LED display mounted behind the speaker grille shows you the system's operating mode, time, station frequency, and CD track number.

    Features

    Overview: The Geneva Sound Model L is a complete multi-function stereo system crafted in a single cabinet made out of piano lacquered wood. The Geneva Sound Model L features an integrated iPod/iPhone dock, has a built-in slot-loading CD, and an internal FM radio. It also includes two auxiliary inputs and comes with an IR wireless remote control. The system is powered by a very high-quality digital amplifier delivering 100 Watts of high-end digital stereo. It is a very versatile system that can play all genres of music very well in any room; such as your living-room, dining-room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, office, or den.

    Lacquer Cabinet: The Geneva Sound System Model L features a piano lacquered wood cabinet that is available in white, black, and red finishes. The cabinet is ported for rich, powerful bass.

    LED Display: The Model L has a LED display (red) visible under the front cover showing source, CD track information, and control settings.

    High Fidelity Sound: The Geneva Sound System Model L offers high fidelity stereo sound with digital signal processor, bass enhancement, and EmbracingSound to enhance compressed audio.

    • Digital Amplifier: The Model L is equipped with a 25-watt x 4-channel digital (Class D) hi-fi amplifier. The unit's powerful amplifier is also award winning for energy efficiency.
    • Two-Way Speakers: Underneath the front grill are two independent two-way speakers right next to each other, with separate acoustic, ported chambers. Each speaker features a 1" tweeter and a 5.25" woofer for dynamic highs and rich lows.
    • EmbracingSound: By using the patent pending "Embracing Sound" Technology, the stereo sweet spot is larger than in a conventional two-speaker setup.
    • Bass & Treble Control: You can independently adjust the unit's bass (100 Hz) and treble (6 kHz) from -6 to +6 dB.

    CD Player: The Geneva Sound System Model L features a top-mounted, vertical slot-loading CD player. It supports playback of 12cm CD-Audio, CD-ROM, and CD-R/RW discs. It will also playback MP3 files recorded onto CD-R/RW and CD-ROM discs.

    Note: If your MP3 disc includes multiple folders or directories, all MP3 files will be played as if they were in one large directory.

    iPod/iPhone Dock: The Geneva Sound System Model L features an integrated, top-mounted iPod Dock for iPod and iPhone. When not in use, the integrated iPod/iPhone dock has a fold-down door to protect the dock's connector. The Model L provides playback, basic control, and charging of your iPod/iPhone while docked. Your iPod or iPhone can be controlled with the included remote (Basic Functions: Play/Pause, Fast Forward/Rewind, and Previous/Next); or from your iPod/iPhone's click-wheel or touch-screen. The Model L is "Made for iPod/iPhone compatible" and supports the following iPod/iPhone model functions (April 2010).

    Love Walnut

    Written By NaturalGirl, Washington, DC on Thursday, July 21, 2011
     
    So I was all ready to get a huge sound system when my boyfriend mentioned shopping for our first sound system together. Though I dreaded shopping around for some "hi-fi" monstrasity, I love him so I was willing to deal. Little did I know that he had already looked as this and just wanted to show me. It arrive and was perfect, no too big and sounds freakin amazing. We are more than pleased with this little beauty and it totally matches my love of wood furnishings. :)

    An oldie but a goodie

    Written By Sandy, Jasper, Georgia on Monday, April 04, 2011
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    First of all, the red color looks a lot better in person. It's actually more of a
    red/maroon. The finish quality is beautiful! I also own a B&W Zeppelin iPod
    speaker system. The Geneva sounds quite a bit better than the Zeppelin. It has
    deeper bass and can fill a larger room with more sound. The stereo channel
    seperation is far superior. I have a large CD collection and I also use my iPod
    Classic. What's nice about the Geneva is that you can actually play CD's on it as
    well as iPod material. Nowadays it's really hard to find a high quality speaker
    system that can play CD's. By the way, this Geneva was manufactured in 2008
    but it is still far superior sound wise than the 2nd generation B&W Zeppelin.
