The first digital audio system to combine an iPod music playback system, full feature wireless remote, AM/FM radio and alarm system in one product. Along with the most balanced sonics available from a table-top system, GEORGE‘s detachable front panel allows you to power search your music library in a thirty foot radius of the base unit. Chestnut Hill Sound has extended the famed iPod navigation enabling you to jump to anywhere in your music library at the touch of a button. No more blindly skipping through an artists catalog, or squinting across the room to see the time left in a track, all the information you want is clearly displayed on the remote’s high resolution display. Get to know GEORGE, and he’ll change the way you think about iPod playback systems.
The iPod gives immediate access to your complete music collection. GEORGE is the only iPod music system to extend that convenience into the home. Dock your iPod into any other music system and you’ll do as much walking as listening, because these systems require using the iPod to find a song. Dock your iPod into GEORGE, remove the front panel and you’ve got your whole music library in your hand again. Only GEORGE can help you find your groove without spoiling the mood.
GEORGE’s remote (3.75” x 4.4” x 2.6”) is completely purpose driven, to give you what a remote should, complete control. You’ll never confuse the volume control with the play button, even in the dark. That’s because GEORGE has an actual control that you twist, not just a little bump in an array of bumps. Navigation has never been easier with jump buttons. Hyper-search huge libraries with a few clicks, no more ‘press and hold’ till you get there. In fact, all of the critical controls on GEORGE are distinct in feel and location and optimized for ergonomics as well as function. Spend a few minutes
with it and you’ll feel as if you’ve had it for years.
Voiced by audio professionals to more closely approximate the way music was originally
recorded, GEORGE emulates the multi-amped 2.1 systems which are used to make professional recordings. Most tabletop systems deliver audio through a single set of small-sized speakers, resulting in artificial high notes and muddy bass. GEORGE uses coaxial (2-way) speakers that outperform highly equalized single cone speaker designs resulting in greater detail and accuracy. These stereo coaxial speakers are paired with a dedicated downfiring 4” sub-woofer that is optimized for low frequency reproduction without excessive EQ or resonant ducts. The 5 speaker system is then bi-amped to ensure your music sounds the way the artist intended.
Put GEORGE in your office and create the soundtrack to your workday from the comfort of your office chair. Ease into the day with some classical tracks from your iPod, catch up on sports radio over lunch then pump up the volume with some rock and roll to get you through that late afternoon slump. All without having to leave your seat.
See What You’ve Been Missing
The iPod has a great display in the palm of your hand, but when you’re across the room relaxing, that display is little more than a night light. That’s why GEORGE’s remote uses a high-resolution, backlit graphic display. Now you can navigate your music catalog as if the iPod was in the palm of your hand. If you know how to use an iPod, you know how to use GEORGE. The menu structure and controls were designed specifically to leverage
your familiarity with the iPod. Alarm and radio functions are just as easy to use, beautifully integrated into a user interface that you’ll feel like you’ve used for years.

GEORGE’s radio features BANDLESS tuning, eliminating the artificial barrier of AM and FM. Just spin the knob around a circle of stations, no need for an extra button. This convenience extends to the presets as well, where you can mix your AM with your FM favorites. Using the high resolution display, GEORGE actually displays your presets. No more guessing which preset is 94.5 FM because each self-labeling preset is clearly indicated.
With 24 presets on four separate pages, you can organize by interest and genre, be it sports, news, classic rock or hip/hop.
Hi Fi in Bed
Despite popular convention, a system of this size on your night stand not only looks bad but sounds bad too. Optimum
position for listening is in front of the speakers, not next to them. As such, using the included charging stand for GEORGE’s remote allows you to place the main unit anywhere in the room that sounds the best while keeping the remote charged and at arms reach. Set an alarm from your bedside and fall asleep assured that George will wake you up to any track or radio station you choose. Hit the snooze, change the tune, or adjust the volume, all without raising your head from the pillow. Connect it to your television through the Auxiliary In jack and turn your bedroom into a movie theatre. GEORGE is the only system on the market that gives you this flexibility.
Ultimate Alarm Clock
GEORGE has an advanced suite of alarms, including nap and sleep timers, two repeating alarms, and a one-time alarm. Pick the perfect song from your library to get you going in the morning, and don’t worry about making sure that tune is queued up on your iPod when going to sleep. Just pick the song when you set the alarm and let GEORGE take care of the rest. GEORGE is the only system in the market smart enough to actually find your selection on the iPod. Like headlines in the morning?
Wake to any radio station. Heavy sleeper? Set the volume for each of your alarms that is independent from the system
volume. The charging stand allows the remote to live on your nightstand with the main unit across the room. With a mere 3.75” x 2.6” footprint, your remote becomes the smallest and most powerful alarm clock ever. And it’s all easier to use than your conventional alarm clock.
The Secret
Highly integrated dual 32-bit RISC-based microprocessors, 16MB RAM, Zigbee RF protocol, bi-amplification, coaxial drivers and low frequency optimized down firing sub-woofer. If GEORGE sounds like a computer as much as a speaker system, it’s because it is. This perfect fusion of computing power and audio fidelity yields a music system more capable than any other in the market. This innovative combination enables hyper-fast iPod navigation, easy access radio and intelligent alarms all through software that is not only simple to use but also upgradeable.
Dress for the Occasion
You spent a great deal of time and energy into the look of your home, why stop with your music system? Upgrade to the cherry wood panel to match that cherry bookshelf, or the walnut wood panel to match that walnut dresser. Or just get the red grille kit for a little splash of color. GEORGE was designed to fit not only your life but also your environment.

Ultimate Control
Compact discs were invented in the early 80s, credit card-sized remotes followed shortly thereafter. These remotes were great for controlling CD's 20 years ago, but using Reagan-era innovation to control your iPod® seems like a marriage of technology and nostalgia at best. GEORGE's remote (3.75” x 4.4” x 2.6”) is completely purpose driven, to give you what a remote should, complete control..
Feel The Difference
You'll never confuse the volume control with the play button, even in the dark. That's because GEORGE has an actual control that you turn and not just a little bump in an array of bumps. Navigation has never been easier with jump buttons. Hyper-search huge libraries with a few clicks, no more 'press and hold' til' you get there. In fact, all of the critical controls on GEORGE are distinct in feel and location and optimized for ergonomics as well as function. Spend a few minutes with it and you'll feel as if you've had it for years, that's intuitive. That's GEORGE.
See What You're Missing
The iPod has a great display in the palm of your hand. However, when you are across the room relaxing, that display is little more than a nightlight. That's why the GEORGE remote uses a high-resolution, backlit graphic display. Now you can see where 103.3 FM is stored without having to cycle through every preset button. The display makes it easy for you to search the music on your iPod as well as show you the information for the song playing, from anywhere in the room. Want to know how many songs are left on this album. Just look.
Familiar
If you know how to use an iPod, you know how to use GEORGE. The menu structure and controls were designed specifically to leverage your familiarity with using the iPod. GEORGE has even added the capability to search by letter using a method common to every cell phone. So when you pick up the GEORGE remote, you'll feel right at home.
Simplify
GEORGE features BANDLESS™ Tuning, eliminating the artificial barrier of AM and FM. Just spin the knob around a seamless circle of stations, no need for an extra button. This is not your father’s radio.
Smarter Radio
Using the high resolution screen on the remote, GEORGE not only shows you where you are but where you want to go. GEORGE knows you love to listen to the game as much as to Rock and Roll. That’s why the AM was designed to be as great as the FM, and now you can access them democratically.
Organize
What's the use of having presets if you have to cycle through each one to find the station you’re looking for? With four separate pages of presets, you can organize by interest and genre, be it sports, news, classic rock or hip/hop. No more guessing which preset is 94.5 FM because each self-labeling preset is clearly indicated.
sound
“As a compact music system, GEORGE’s sound is the closest to what I hear in the studio when recording.”
Chuck Leavell, Keyboard Player with the Rolling Stones
Brilliant Sound
Voiced by audio professionals to more closely approximate the way music was originally recorded, GEORGE emulates the multi-amped 2.1 systems which are now used to make professional recordings.
Full Range
Most table top systems deliver audio through a single set of small-sized speakers, resulting in artificial high notes and muddy bass. GEORGE uses coaxial (2-way) speakers that outperform highly equalized single cone speaker designs, resulting in greater detail and accuracy. These stereo coax speakers are paired with a dedicated downfiring 4” sub-woofer that is optimized for low frequency reproduction without excessive EQ or resonant ducts. The 5 speaker system is then bi-amped to ensure your music sounds more like the way the artist intended.
Size Matters
Great sound doesn’t come from full-range 1" and 2" speakers, nor does it come from small boxes. GEORGE’s size (14.25” x 5” x 8.6”) was determined not only by the internal components but also by optimizing the acoustics. Giving the speakers room to breath is what gives GEORGE the ‘big system’ sound in a compact table top size.
Location, Location, Location
Despite popular convention, a system of this size on your night stand not only looks bad but sounds bad too. Optimum position for listening is in front of the speakers, not next to them. As such, we offer the Charging Stand (3.75” x 4.4” x 2.6”) for GEORGE’s remote allowing you to place the speakers anywhere in the room that sounds the best while keeping full control of GEORGE at arms reach.
Customize and Grow
GEORGE is smart and designed to get smarter. While other products fade with time, GEORGE improves and expands to fit your life. From changing its look to expanding its uses, GEORGE actuallyhas a future.
Choose one of the optional wood panels and matching speaker grills to tailor GEORGE to your decor. Add the charging stand so that you can have full control of GEORGE in only a 4" footprint.
Update the software to take advantage of continuing enhancements. GEORGE is built to be the best music system today and architected to continue to grow.
Juke Box
While GEORGE offers the best in tabletop sound, no tabletop playback device can match the “big systems” that may reside in your living or media room. Plug GEORGE's Preamp Out into your big system, and with the music collection in your iPod, you may just have the world's best juke box right in your home and at your fingertips via GEORGE’s remote control.
Alarms
GEORGE has many different types of alarms, from nap and sleep timers to dual or one time alarms. Big day ahead? Pick the perfect song from your library to get you going in the morning, and don’t worry about making sure that tune is queued up on your iPod when going to sleep. Just pick the song when you set the alarm and let GEORGE take care of the rest. Like headlines in the morning? Wake to any radio station.
Heavy sleeper? You can set the wake up volume to be louder than whatever you are listening to for relaxation. And it's all easier to use than your conventional alarm clock.
Updates

Accessories
