PIEGA P SUB 4 Active-Subwoofer
Version 1.0

“Music. That‘s really the only important issue
when it comes to loudspeakers....“
In our view, the superior loudspeaker is the
one that does not interfere. One that adds
no sound of its own. That accurately and
naturally conveys what was played in the
concert or recording studio. Since 1986 we
have been working to perfect this ideal – with
a pioneering spirit, inventiveness and exacting
craftsmanship. You will now be able to hear for
yourself how far we have succeeded.
By purchasing a loudspeaker from PIEGA you
have expressed your trust in our company, for
which we thank you very much. At the same
2
time we assure you that you have purchased a
product that is based on twenty years of R & D,
and which in terms of its design represents the
state of the art. We are sure that you will gain
much listening enjoyment from your new Piega
loudspeaker products.
Although using the loudspeakers is very
straightforward, we recommend that you read
the contents of this user manual carefully. It
will explain how to properly connect up your
new PIEGA loudspeaker products and install
them for optimum results. It also provides you
with some useful information that will increase
your understanding of loudspeakers. But don’t
worry. Even apparently complicated details
are explained very simply. On the last page
of these instructions you will nd our warranty
conditions. Please also read these carefully just
in case.
We wish you an enjoyable read and above all
much listening enjoyment with your new PIEGA
loudspeakers...!
