Inspired by the classic travel clock, it folds into a sturdy leather clamshell case that hides the speakers, amplifiers, radio, and alarm clock inside of Geneva’s trademark red, white or black finishes.

The digital amplifier and stereo speakers play mid and high frequencies with absolute accuracy. The woofer is capable of producing robust bass response below 80Hz.

The Model XS features wireless Bluetooth capabilities, an integrated digital FM tuner, and an easy-set digital alarm clock. Music streams wirelessly to the Model XS from any Bluetooth-enabled device, such as iPad, iPhone, and other smartphones and tablets.
