`
`PROS
`
`Detachable remote that controls a wide variety of functions. Superior bass
`response. Extremely powerful, distortion-free speaker performance. Frequency-
`specific EQ controls. Customizable iPod/radio alarm clock.
`
`CONS
`
`Speakers are not angled upward, so dock must sit at ear level for optimum
`sound. Disables video from being played on iPod screen. Speakers aren't
`detachable, so the "sweet spot" is limited.

`
`BOTTOM LINE
`
`Minor design flaws keep this otherwise fantastic iPod dock from earning a
`perfect score. Is it worth the steep price? Yes.
`
`BY TIM GIDEON (/AUTHOR-BIO/TIM-GIDEON)
`The George, Chestnut Hill Sound's new, curiously named audio
`system for fourth-generation Apple iPods and later, costs $549
`(direct), and that's if you choose notto accessorize it. Sure, it's
`expensive, but this iPod dock is super-capable and puts out
`unbelievably good sound. If you want to get the best possible sound
`from your iPod and are willing to pay for it, this high-end iPod dock
`
`delivers.

`
`The George doesn't come cheap, especially when you factor in its optional
`upgrades. If you go for wood paneling, say, instead of the stock drab white
`design, you'll spend $600. A charging stand for the wireless remote sets you
`back another $50. The question that remains is whether $650 is a ridiculous
`price to pay for an iPod sound system when roughly the same amount could buy
`a very nice stereo receiver and a set of great speakers. Perhaps, especially when
`you consider that a receiver can act as a hub for your TV, games, CDs, DVDs, and
`your iPod. Yet, for the audiophile, George is worth every penny. It sounds
`amazing and is incredibly easy to use.
`
`The George's design is its only real drawback. Its speakers are neither upward-
`angled nor detachable, which is bad news for folks who wish to listen to the
`system at their desks. That's because the speakers will shoot sound at your
`chest rather than your ears, unless you like to slouch really low when you listen.
`Another problem with this setup is that you won't have much separation
`

`

`
`between speakers for stereo imaging. The left and right speakers are roughly 6
`inches apart, so unless you stand with your nose an inch from the display, you
`can forget about the concept of a sonic "sweet spot." (The sweet spot is the
`invisible third point of the equilateral triangle that two symmetrically placed
`speakers would make with your head.) In an ideal world, the tweeters should sit
`at ear level—the ideal spot for balanced sound between the speakers and for
`optimal stereo separation. So, realistically, this is a bookshelf unit and should
`really be set at ear level. One last flaw: It is very easy to mute—or un-
`mute—your music when removing the remote from the dock. The mute/snooze
`button is right where your fingers naturally land to grab the control. As far as
`complaints go, though, that's all I can come up with.
`
`The sound quality of the George is superior to that of any iPod audio system I've
`tested. To be fair, most docks cost less than half as much. But if you want
`powerful speakers that won't distort at high volumes, subtle and clear detail in
`the mid-to-high frequencies, a tight subwoofer that'll rattle your innards before
`it rattles its own enclosure, and customizable EQ settings for specific frequencies
`in the low and high-end realms, it's all here. The Apple Hi-Fi
`(http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1933837,00.asp)—an excellent choice
`for $200 less—performs similarly well at mid to high frequencies, but can't come
`close to producing as much tight, resonant low-end audio as the George.
`
`The speakers sounded a bit tinny initially, but after messing with the EQ I found
`a great setting for rock, pop, and rap music: a plus-two boost at 80 Hz and a
`plus-four boost at 8 kHz, with the subwoofer knob on the back panel at
`maximum. An audiophile might say you shouldn't have to adjust EQ settings to
`get excellent sound, and that's true for extremely high-end gear, but this is an
`all-in-one product for discriminating audiophiles. Once I made these changes,
`this system blew me away. Fine-tune it to your personal preferences and I'm
`sure you'll find the speakers quite capable of impressing your friends.
`
`Another major draw of the George is its advanced remote control. Basically, the
`systemis the remote: the entire control panel just clicks into the front of the
`dock to recharge. There is an optional ($50) remote charger if you wish to, say,
`keep the controller on a bedside table, as well as an optional cover for the
`vacant space left when the remote is off the dock. All of the George's functions,
`excluding the subwoofer knob on the back panel, can be operated via the
`buttons on the remote. Its range is listed as up to 25 feet, but I had some luck
`using the control almost 40 feet away from the dock, though lag time seemed to
`increase the farther I got. Anything you could possibly control—volume, EQ
`settings, surfing the radio, skipping songs, setting the alarm time, or hitting the

`
`snooze button—can be done from afar, without even pointing the remote in the
`direction of the speakers (though the manual recommends a same-room setup).
`The wireless protocol used for this system is called Zigbee
`(http://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia_term/0%2C2542%2Ct%3DZigBee&i%
`3D55212%2C00.asp), and it operates on one of 26 channels. You may have to
`experiment to find the channel with the least amount of interference, but I had
`very few issues in our labs, where there's quite a bit of wireless competition.
`Four small circles, like the bars on a cell phone, indicate the strength of the
`signal at any given moment.
`
`The remote's display alternately shows the song/artist that is playing on your
`iPod and the time of day down to the second, day, and date. At the bottom of
`the screen are four software tabs: (left to right) iPod, Radio, Alarm, and Aux. The
`Aux source option exists for listening to non-iPod devices connected via a jack
`on the rear panel. There are two rows of physical buttons, numbered one
`through eight, below the screen. They correspond to the tabs, and in different
`screen modes they perform different tasks. For instance, in iPod mode, the
`screen replicates the iPod screen, but with more options. In this case, the tabs
`and buttons are linked to letter groupings to streamline an artist search. (To get
`to David Bowie fast, hit the DEF button.) In Alarm mode, the tabs and buttons
`are used to help you quickly choose the song and volume level you wish to wake
`up to. At the bottom of the remote, there's an easy-to-use click wheel
`configuration that more or less mimics the iPod array, and this is what you'll
`primarily use when navigating through your music library.
`
`The intuitive design of the user interface makes performing any task extremely
`easy and nearly eliminates the need for a manual. Another excellent facet of the
`George: Chestnut Hill plans to update the device's firmware constantly; this can
`be done via USB on either a Mac or PC. Finally, the FM/AM tuner is
`seamless—meaning that when you reach the final frequency on the FM "dial," it
`immediately hops around to the first one on the AM band. Also, the buttons and
`tabs on the remote in this capacity serve as station presets.
`
`Tech support, FAQs, and the manual can be found at Chestnut Hill's Web site
`(http://www.chillsound.com/support.aspx), or call (617) 618-1800 (ext. 2) with
`questions. The company offers a 30-day money-back satisfaction guarantee on
`the George.

`
`Though it's not the most beautiful system out there (it's a bit plain-looking), the
`Chestnut Hill Sound George is nonetheless the new king of the iPod dock
`mountain. Its fantastic sound would be enough to secure this title, but when you
`throw wireless operation and ease of use into the mix, it's quite simple: The
`George kicks butt . . . and for $550, it had better!
