Determination of input source and priority The PIEGA connect has several options for determining the type of input source (analog, optical, coaxial). The input sourc- es can be preset and prioritized for the desired application (e.g. setup with TV, subwoofer, network player, turntable, etc.).

ANALOG SOURCE 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.
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/flat/house.
A subwoofer or an additional active speaker can be added using the Analog output. PIEGA connect offers an analog output in addition to the wireless music transfer. The analog signal corresponds to the wireless signal, i.e. any volume regulation is also applied to the analog output.
Alternatively, you can use a standard commercial USB adapter which meets the following specifications: - 5 V DC - 1 A Volume control Setting the volume on the PIEGA connect (top side of the device) – the volume control 12 affects the wireless music signal as well as the analog output Bluetooth Device...
The Bluetooth pairing establishes the connection between the PIEGA speaker system and your smartphone, tablet, etc. and enables the radio link. You must carry out the pairing process between a device and the PIEGA connect in order to establish a BLUETOOTH connection for the first time.

SETUP POSITIONS 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. 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.).
“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.

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.
