ELEMENTS OF THE PIEGA CONNECT

Volume

The “Volume” setting is used to activate or deactivate the volume control

x = 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.)

NOTE: Some playback devices can activate and deactivate the volume control independently.

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.

Group

6 7

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/at/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”.

DIGITAL SOURCE

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.

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)

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.

Input

“Input” refers to an analog music signal / analog input. The speakers from the PIEGA wireless series can also be used solely as active speakers, i.e. instead of using wireless signal transmission, the speaker can also be connected using an RCA (cinch) cable.

WARNING: Only use sources with integrated volume control for this conguration.

In this conguration, the wireless unit in the speaker is disabled and thus no longer sends or receives data.

NOTE: Only plug in or unplug the cable when the device is switched off.

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

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. …

Connect the analog output of your playback device to the input 5 on the speaker terminal. Use a standard commercial RCA (cinch) cable to do this.

Make sure the cabling of the speaker is correct (left and right channel).

WARNING: Any manipulations of the input terminal

off (disconnect power supply).

of the speaker must be carried out when the device is switched

5) POWER SUPPLY TO THE SPEAKER

Connect the speaker to an outlet using the power cable provided. The LED display 7 will indicate a successful power supply.

2. A Bluetooth device is connected to the PIEGA connect. The music playback stops / does not start.
