Verdict

The Geneva Model S Wireless DAB+ is an all-in-one desktop audio system featuring two 3-inch full-range drivers individually chambered with twin bass ports, powered by dual Class D digital amplifiers delivering a total of 30 watts output across a frequency range of 75 Hz to 20 kHz. Key characteristics and pros include integrated Bluetooth 2.1 wireless streaming, a digital FM/DAB/DAB+ radio tuner with six presets, a built-in alarm clock, a front-facing red LED display, backlit TouchLight capacitive controls, a 3.5mm auxiliary line-in jack, and a premium piano-lacquered cabinet mounted on a brushed aluminum table stand that ensures excellent stereo imaging and a surprisingly powerful, rich soundstage. On the downside, the system lacks a USB port for charging external smart devices, features an older Bluetooth 2.1 version, has a glossy finish highly prone to fingerprints, requires a continuous AC power connection instead of a rechargeable battery making it less portable than expected, and exhibits a faint but audible base-level background hiss during quiet idle periods.
