«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 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
find 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...!

Precautions
Please read this user manual carefully and pay special attention to the following precautions and warnings.
Safety Precautions:
Ensure without fail that your new PIEGA loudspeak-
ers are mounted, positioned and connected exactly
according to these instructions.
PIEGA loudspeakers were only designed for use in
dry residential environments within a temperature
range of 10...40°C.
The high quality loudspeaker chassis of PIEGA loud-
speakers contain exceptionally strong magnets with
magnetic fields that may impair the operation of
other devices if the loudspeakers are not handled
properly.
Ensure that watches or other metallic objects are not
placed close to the loudspeakers.The strong mag-
netic fields may pull these into the diaphragms and
destroy them.
Keep items such as credit cards, electronic data stor-
age media and similar objects away from the loud-
speakers.The magnetic field may cause irrecoverable
loss of data.
Warnung:
Ensure, in particular with children, that hands are not
placed inside the bass tube openings (sharp edges
> risk of injury) and that objects are not inserted into
these openings.

scratching the aluminum surface.
Open the carton as shown in the figure, remove the
metal brackets on the carton carefully and lift out the

tive wrapping by carefully pulling it up over the
loudspeakers.

Uses
The PIEGA Loudspeaker Series comprises floor-standing, satellite and center loudspeakers. Some series
include all three loudspeaker types. All loudspeakers of the same series are based on the same technology,
either dome tweeter or PIEGA ribbon tweeter. All loudspeakers of the same technology can always be com-
bined and arranged into a cohesive home cinema system and also ideal for stereo systems, sound systems in
bars and restaurants, fitness centers etc. We recommend….

PIEGA User Manual
Perfect sound quality depends on the correct positioning and alignment of the loudspeakers. For stereo
operation, the best results are achieved using the stereo triangle layout. In multi-channel systems, the front,
center and rear speakers should be positioned as equidistantly as possible and aligned to the point of listening
and time delay should be adjusted in the setup of the AV-receiver.
Positioning
Stereo operation (Stereo Triangle)
The distances between the loudspeakers
and the point of listening form an isosce-
les triangle (Ratio 1 : 1.5).
Note: For best results align the tweeter at ear level.
Recommended wall distance approx. 10 - 50 cm,
depending on the model

On-Wall Installation
You can use the wall bracket (available as an accessory) to mount the satellite loudspeakers either on the wall
or ceiling and thus use it as a rear or side speaker for both diffused and direct sound. The brackets are also
used when installing the loudspeakers for a room sound system. A special bracket is also available (as an ac-
cessory) for mounting the center loudspeakers on walls.
Note: For mounting the wall brackets consult a specialist such as your authorized
PIEGA dealer if necessary.
- Remove the Allen screw on the rear of the
loudspeaker
- Fasten the base plate (1) to the wall with
the screws (4)
- Assemble the fixing ring (2) and the ball joint
and fit on the loudspeaker
- Fasten the ball joint/fixing ring onto the base
plate (1) with the screws (5)
- Position the loudspeaker and fasten with
the screws (5)
- Fasten the bracket to the wall
- Slightly unscrew the hexagon screws on the
loudspeaker
- Fit the center loudspeaker on the wall bracket
- Re-tighten the hexagon screws

Connecting the Loudspeakers
The terminal for single wiring applications is provided at the back of the loudspeaker. This is used for connect-
ing standard loudspeaker cables with banana plugs or with a lead. Ideally, PIEGA loudspeakers should be con-
nected with the CableONE or CableTHREE loudspeaker cable which is available as an accessory.
Connection:
Ensure that the electronic components are switched
off before making the connection.
PIEGA loudspeakers must only be connected to elec-
tronic components with the amplifier outputs recom-
mended by PIEGA. Observe the specifications of the
amplifier manufacturer. Contact your dealer if you are
unsure whether the connection is permissible.
The loudspeakers have an impedance of 4 Ohms and
can therefore be connected to any standard amplifier.
Contact your specialist dealer concerning this.
Connect the PIEGA loudspeaker to your amplifier or
receiver using suitable cables as shown in the figure.
Ideally, use the CableONE or CableTHREE loudspeak-
er cable (optional) with banana plugs or standard
loudspeaker cables with a lead.
Important:
Ensure the poles are connected correctly! A com-
pletely diffuse sound with a weak bass will be pro-
duced if the plus and minus poles are incorrectly con-
nected.
Active variant:
For PIEGA loudspeakers with the Active module op-
tion, please contact your retailer.
Pass the wires fully through the opening
Fully insert the banana plugs up to the stop

Running in the Loudspeakers
As a loudspeaker is basically a mechanical transducer consisting of several different components, the individ-
ual elements must be run in during the initial weeks. This will ensure that the sound quality potential of your
loudspeakers is fully utilized. You will definitely notice the resulting improvement in sound.
Recommendations:
In the first days and weeks listen only at normal
volume.
Avoid very high volume levels during initial phase.
Listen to a wide range of programme material.
Limit range:
The recommended amplifier output is, depending on
the model, 20 – 250 Watt. It must be ensured that
the volume must only be turned up far enough for
the ear to register an overload.
If the loudspeaker chassis become damaged after a
long period of overload, this can be detected beyond
any doubt by PIEGA service technicians. In these
cases, PIEGA is not liable for any warranty claims.
Note:
Excessively loud music can damage your health.
Listen to music at an acceptable volume level for the
sake of your health.
