DESCRIPTION OF THE OPERATING
ELEMENTS OF THE PIEGA CONNECT
Volume
The “Volume” setting is used to activate or deactivate the volume control
fix = volume control deactivated. PIEGA connect uses the maximum volume.
This setting is suitable for use with playback devices with integrated volume control.
The following are examples of possible regulated sources:
- Multiroom systems – the volume is controlled via the respective app.
- Connection via Bluetooth – the volume is controlled by the corresponding Bluetooth device.
- Network player with integrated volume control
- Television
var = volume control activated
This setting is suitable for use with unregulated playback devices.
Unregulated playback devices do not offer an option to adjust the volume using the
playback device (signal output with maximum volume).
A few examples of possible unregulated sources are:
- CD player
- Record player (please note that depending on the model of the record player,
an additional phono preamp may be required.)

Determination of input source and priority
The PIEGA connect has several options for determining the type of input source (analog, optical, coaxial). The input sources can be preset and prioritized for the desired application (e.g. setup with TV, subwoofer, network player, turntable, etc.).
However, bluetooth has always the highest priority and therefore overrides all other input sources. Consequently, allowing an
automatic switch from the input source to bluetooth.

If the music is in digital form (CD, streaming, etc.), it is converted into an analog signal by the playback device. However, PIEGA
connect only processes digital signals internally. As a result, the analog signal must be re-converted into a digital signal.

Continuous digital signal processing
NOTE: In some playback devices such as televisions, the volume control of the playback device only functions via the analog
connection. In this case, please observe the operating instructions for your playback device.

Group
The “Group” function is only required when using several PIEGA wireless systems (more than one PIEGA connect). The music
signal is only sent to speakers within the same group. This ensures the smooth operation of up to three independent PIEGA
wireless systems in one room/flat/house.

GROUP WIRELESS DATA TRANSMISSION
white 24 Bit / 48 kHz
blue 24 Bit / 48 kHz
red 24 Bit / 96 kHz
The group display 7shows the selected group colour and the connection status. This must correspond to the speaker in
order to operate.
NOTE: We deliver our speakers and PIEGA connect with the group setting “white”. When using a PIEGA wireless system, we
recommend leaving the group setting as “white”.
Wireless
The “Wireless” function is only required to eliminate any possible disturbances. This may include no connection or a lapse/
stuttering of the music playback. The PIEGA wireless system sets up an independent wireless network to transfer data from the
PIEGA connect to PIEGA speakers. This means that the system is not reliant on your home WLAN. This ensures a continuous
transfer of data.
Should the transmission be impaired by a neighbouring wireless network, the carrier frequency of the wireless signal can be
adjusted.
Such an impairment can be determined as follows:
Your system is running smoothly, provided no clearly audible faults (interruptions, stuttering, etc.) can be made out in the music
playback, or your speakers are unable to connect to the PIEGA connect.
The following carrier frequencies are supported:
A: 5.2 GHz PIEGA recommends using this frequency whenever possible.
B: 5.8 GHz
C: 2.4 GHz (also used by Bluetooth, which may cause faults when it is combined with the wireless system)

The music signal is only sent to speakers within the same group. This ensures the smooth operation of up to three independent
PIEGA wireless systems in one room/flat/house.
The group display 2 shows the selected group colour and the connection status. This must correspond to the respective
PIEGA connect.
You can find additional information about the connection status in overview of the status displays.
NOTE: More than two speakers can be operated simultaneously in the same group. Our speakers and the PIEGA connect
are delivered with the “white” group setting as standard.
Speaker position
Various speaker setups and the position in the room can be determined using the “Speaker position” function.

Determining the speaker position (left/right).
In wireless operation, both audio tracks (left and right channel) reach the speaker. This is why the respective position in the
stereo setup must be assigned to the speaker.
You can also select the “Mono” setting. We recommend this setting only if one speaker is being used in the room (for example
in the kitchen, bathroom, etc.).
In the “Mono” setting, both the left AND right channels are played.

OPERATION
Music Source
Bluetooth Device
General
Thanks to the automatic standby function, the PIEGA wireless system operates without an on/off switch. As soon as a music
signal appears, the system starts with minimal delay. If there is no music signal, the PIEGA wireless speakers switch to standby
mode after approximately 10 minutes.
Bluetooth function and priority
Priority is always given to Bluetooth playback, i.e. as soon as music is played via Bluetooth, the playback device connected via
cable is disconnected and the Bluetooth signal is transmitted via the speaker.
Example:
1. Music is played by an external playback device (music source):
a. CD player
b. Multiroom system
c. TV
d. Record player
e. …
2. A Bluetooth device is connected
to the PIEGA connect.
The music playback stops /
does not start.

3. Music playback starts on your Bluetooth device
4. The music playback of the external playback device is interrupted
5. Music from your Bluetooth device is played
6. As soon as the music playback on your Bluetooth device stops, the PIEGA connect switches back to the external
playback device. The switchover speed is significantly dependent on the Bluetooth device used.
