PREMIUM WIRELESS SERIES

OUR VISION.

The trend towards digitalization is having an increasing

effect on our day-to-day lives and has also given

rise to changes in the use of music media. Music

accompanies us throughout our entire life and can be

taken with us anywhere. Digital play lists and music

streaming are driving out the use of records and CDs.

Internet radio stations from all over the world are able

to supply us free of charge with our favourite songs

in our own homes. The change also affects the way

in which we handle music and where, when and how

we consume it. However, this increased mobility took

its toll, as the rst wireless systems suffered from a

reduction in sound quality.

For us at PIEGA, the perfection of musical reproduction is essential. We have set ourselves the task of making music accessible without

any restrictions and integrating the new transmission technologies in our company. We haven’t just built a wireless loudspeaker. We

created a premium speaker and made it wireless.

OUR WIRELESS PHILOSOPHY.

PIEGA’s Premium Wireless Series consists of three wirelessly controllable active loudspeakers as well as PIEGA connect.

This module is used for connecting existing HiFi components and for the wireless transmission of music signals to the

loudspeakers. The signals are transmitted via a lossless digital wireless link, enabling music to be played via analogue

and digital inputs, as well as via the integrated Bluetooth aptX module. In this way you can stream your favourite music,

directly from your smartphone, tablet or notebook.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT.

Multi-room systems

You want to use your existing multi-room system but also want authentic HiFi sound quality

in transmission and reproduction? Not a problem, since the newly developed PIEGA

connect provides a lossless interface between different well-known multi-room systems

and our loudspeakers. This means that you no longer have to make any compromises in

sound quality.

Bluetooth

Mobility and music streaming are increasingly dominating our daily lives.

Playing music from your cell phone via Bluetooth is fascinating and is made

possible with a simple press of a button. The PIEGA Premium Wireless

System gives you this function and even the ultimate sound quality.

Simple installation,
child’s play operation

PIEGA’s Premium Wireless System can be installed quickly and simply. You

connect your amplier or audio source to the analog input or one of the

digital inputs of the PIEGA connect. You then choose whether you wish

to control the volume via your amplier or PIEGA connect – that’s it! The

integrated sound processor automatically ensures optimum sound quality:

The bass and high frequency sounds are automatically increased if you are

listening at a low volume. At very high volumes, the bass element is reduced

slightly in order to protect your loudspeakers from any overload.

HOW IT WORKS.

PIEGA’s Wireless System operates entirely independently, and no connection with the home WiFi network is necessary. The PIEGA con-

nect and the speakers just have to be connected to a power supply. The system also has an automatic on/off switching function and

does not require any additional remote control. The prioritization of the Bluetooth aptX connection enables you to play your favourite

music from your cell phone really easily and at any time.

To ensure optimum operation of the system and the best possible sound quality, the relevant stereo channel can be assigned to each

Premium Wireless loudspeaker. You can also preset the installation location with the DSP functions «neutral», «close to the wall» and

«corner».

Thanks to the analogue cinch terminals as well as the op-

tical or coaxial digital inputs, most HiFi components can

be connected easily with the PIEGA Wireless System.

The possible applications range from the smart miniature

system – for example from an audio source and a pair of

PIEGA Premium Wireless loudspeakers – up to the largest

multi-room setup with the network streamer and TV. The

TV

integrated analogue output also makes it possible to con-

nect a subwoofer.

THE LOUDSPEAKERS IN DETAIL.

Our loudspeakers are hand crafted in Switzerland. For us the highest quality standard is a matter of course. That’s why we only use materials

and components of the highest quality, as well as the latest in loudspeaker and electronics technology. In terms of its looks, the Wireless Series is

based on the existing Premium Series. The design of these proven loudspeakers comes from the pen of Swiss designer Stephan Hürlemann. He

gave the loudspeakers an elliptical design and created a harmony of shape that enables the Premium loudspeakers to t perfectly in any room.

The cabinets from polished aluminium give the series an elegant and timeless design. The loudspeakers are available in silver, black and white.

Thanks to its dynamic and powerful sound

performance the Premium 701 can be oper-

features the LDR 3056 ribbon tweeter that

stands out for its highly thin membrane and a

perfectly controlled damping. The optimised

magnet system and a new foil layout provide

the tweeter with greater efciency, a larger

frequency range and outstanding linearity.

The Premium 301 is a compact loudspeak-

er with a bafe around the size of a DIN A4

sheet. A 140 mm MDS midrange driver and

the LDR 2642 MKII ribbon tweeter behind the

removable fabric cover enable all frequencies

from 39 to 35 kHz to be radiated homoge-

neously. Whether on a shelf, a sideboard or

on a stand – the PIEGA Premium 301 with

a powerful 100 watt amplier is a full-bodied

and elegant loudspeaker for small to medi-

um-sized rooms.

The small and easy to use PIEGA connect

serves as an interface between the wireless

loudspeakers and an existing HiFi system or

a multi-room system. It is easy and quick to

install and can even be stored out of sight

if required. Besides the lossless wireless

transmission of the music signals to the loud-

speakers, it offers a Bluetooth aptX module,

analogue inputs and outputs as well as coax-

ial and optical digital inputs.
