About Geneva
Since 2005, Geneva Lab has been developing and manufacturing all-in-one hi-fi sound systems in which amplifiers, speakers, tuners, media players and power supply are integrated in a single enclosure. The wooden cabinets are handcrafted: cabinets made from genuine American walnut veneer are hand-sanded, finished with up to eight coats of high-quality piano lacquer and hand-polished; production of a single enclosure takes more than a week. The electronics feature up to 600 watts of digital amplification, patented acoustics and digital active crossovers; the larger drivers are housed in their own chambers. The products are distributed through exclusive distributors in, among others, Switzerland, Italy, Japan, South Korea, China, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden and the UAE. The company was founded by Jan-Erik Lundberg, who also serves as CEO.
