The Geneva Sound System Model XXL: Television Console with Integrated High Fidelity Sound System

The original Geneva Sound System prompted audio critics to declare the arrival of a design that finally “lifts the iPod into the realms of Hi-Fi status” (Record Collector, UK). And now Geneva has upped the ante in terms of performance, design, and functionality with the introduction of the brand new Geneva Sound System Model XXL.

Combining stunning looks with state-of-the-art acoustics, the Model XXL is both a powerful home theatre and a high-fidelity music system. All housed inside a single cabinet, this lounge addition is more like a new piece of furniture with its hand-finished piano lacquered exterior, which comes in a choice of red, black or white.

The XXL boasts stand-out features such as Apple Airplay, which allows wireless music streaming from your iPhone/iPad/iTunes as well as wireless Bluetooth for other smartphones, tablets and computers. Furthermore, internet radio access allows streaming of more than 10,000 Internet stations in addition to a built in FM.

Not stopping at audio advancements, the Model XXL also offers HDMI connectivity which allows for a simple and high quality link to television, creating the ultimate home theatre system. Geneva Sound System Model XXL is engineered to provide optimal sound for music and sound effects – so whether you're watching news, sports, music videos or an action movie, the Model XXL offers an exceptional audio experience.

The piano lacquered wood credenza of the XXL integrates a 400 Watt top-quality digital amplifier, powering seven speakers, with a powerful 8-inch subwoofer for startling effects. Each speaker has its own dedicated amplifier and acoustic chamber for accurate and balanced sound.

Geneva Sound System Model XXL fuses audio and furniture into one streamlined sideboard. The Model XXL is also a TV platform, designed to hold up to a 65-inch flat screen placed on top. There is interior storage with space to hide components such as a satellite box, game console or DVD player.
