15. Do not expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing and do not place objects lled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.
16. 150 mm minimum distances around the apparatus for sufcient ventilation.
17. The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items. Such as newspapers, table-cooths, curtains, etc.
18. No naked ame source, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.
19. The use of apparatus in tropical and moderate climates.
WARNING
The symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage
within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufcient magnitude to constitute risk of re and
electric shock.
PIEGA wireless speakers RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! DO NOT OPEN! If the speakers are connected to the mains voltage, a dangerous electrical voltage is present
inside the speakers
- Use the supplied power cable to connect the speakers to the mains voltage. Make sure that the power supply cable is not damaged; replace it with a new
one if it has been damaged.
- To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the back panel and never open the speaker housing. Do not expose the speakers to rain or moisture. No
inside parts can be serviced by users. Refer servicing to qualied personnel.
- Do not operate defective speakers and disconnect defective speakers from the mains voltage. Please contact your PIEGA distributor if you experience any
problems.
Never place a speaker set in an unstable location. A speaker set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be
avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
- Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the speaker set.
- Only using furniture that can safely support the speaker set.
- Ensuring the speaker set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
- Not placing the speaker set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the speaker set to a suitable
support.
- Not placing the speaker set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the speaker set and supporting furniture.
- Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the speaker set or its controls.
If your existing speaker set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.
UNPACKING
After unpacking, make sure the system is complete and check the device and all accessories for transport damage. Transport damage may be expected if the pack-
aging is already showing severe wear. Do not attempt to start up a damaged device. If the contents are incomplete or damaged, please contact your PIEGA distributor.
PACKAGING MATERIAL
The packaging has been designed to be used again, as long as it has not been damaged during transport. Keep the packaging and use the original packaging for all
further transport.

ELEMENTS OF THE PIEGA CONNECT
Volume
The “Volume” setting is used to activate or deactivate the volume control
1
12
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.

Connecting your music source / your playback device – PIEGA connect offers three different connection options for external
playback devices.
Input source selector switch

PIEGA connect processes one input at the time. The connected input must therefore be activated using the input source
selector switch “Input”.

PIEGA recommends using a digital input wherever possible ( 3 or 4 ).
Using a digital input eliminates the need for a conversion (analog to digital) in the signal chain, leading to a better sound result.

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)
