Geneva releases Model XS sound system inspired by vintage travel clocks

By Kelly Montgomery November 9, 2011

The Swiss engineers at Geneva Audio, known for its high-quality Hi-Fi offerings, are now giving customers a reason to take quality sound wherever they go with the Model XS travel sound system ($250). The new portable sound system was inspired by the folding design of classic travel clocks, but this model is all high-tech with a Hi-Fi system complete with speakers, amplifiers, a radio, and an alarm clock, all in one sleek design.

The sound system neatly hides all these features in a smart clamshell case that opens and closes for portability and convenience. The audio includes a 2.1 speaker system with two 1-inch tweeters and one 2¼-inch woofer, and each speaker is individually chambered and powered, giving users the most accurate acoustics. The Model XS features an LED display, ToughLight controls, and uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that gives up to 5 hours of playback. The portable sound system will stream music from any Bluetooth-capable device (almost any smartphone), and other devices can be connected via a 3.5mm jack for audio playback. The Geneva Model XS is available in either black, white, or red and can be pre-ordered now.

How to fix a Yale Assure Lock 2 that won’t connect to Wi-Fi

The Yale Assure Lock 2 Smart Lock Deadbolt keypad being used by someone.

The Yale Assure Lock 2 is one of the best smart locks, as it's available in a variety of formats and makes it easy to keep tabs on your front door when away from home. Much of this functionality is driven by support for Wi-Fi connections on select models, as you can quickly connect the unit to your home network and access all its features via its companion mobile app.

However, some users may notice their Yale Assure Lock 2 appears offline or that it's no longer connected to Wi-Fi. It can be a frustrating issue to deal with, as a lock that's offline won't let you access its best features – meaning you'll want to get it back online as soon as possible.
