In-Wall Installation

PIEGA AP 3, AS 3

Positioning and mounting instructions...

The AP 3, AS 3 loudspeakers can be flush mounted in a wall using a special mounting bracket so that only the loudspeaker front and bracket frame are visible after mounting. This space saving mounting method allows you to enjoy the benefits of both quality sound and a discrete design (refer to the alignment instructions on page 16).

Mounting the flush-mounting frame:

>With concrete walls, the flush-mounting bracket must be mounted in the recess at the required position without the loudspeaker (!) before the wall is completed, i.e. when the wall is being built

>Bear in mind that empty conduits for the loudspeaker cables and power supply cables (only for the active versions) must also be provided in the recess - The holes required for this must be provided by the customer...!

>The loudspeakers and the flush-mounting frame have an asymmetric design, and so left/right alignment must be ensured

(Alignment instructions see page 16)

Fitting the loudspeakers in the flush-mounting frames:

>The loudspeaker should only be mounted and connected once the building work is fully completed

>First of all, connect the loudspeaker cables to the terminals provided (see the next page) and then mount the loudspeakers using the two screws (see drawing)

>Do not mount the front panel until the end when the loudspeakers are completely installed and connected

Note:

Consult a specialist, i.e. the person responsible

from the building company with regard to the mounting without fail...!

AP 3 specifications

The Piega AP 3 is a remarkable speaker that stands out in the world of high-fidelity audio. Crafted in Switzerland, this model is a testament to Piega's dedication to precision engineering, innovation, and superior sound quality. The AP 3 is specifically designed for audiophiles seeking a compact, yet powerful floor-standing speaker that delivers an immersive listening experience.

One of the standout features of the Piega AP 3 is its use of the latest ribbon tweeter technology. The ribbon tweeter is a hallmark of Piega speakers, known for its ability to produce clear, detailed high frequencies. This technology allows for an uncanny level of detail and airiness in the treble region, providing a sense of realism that is often unattainable with standard dynamic tweeters. The AP 3 also incorporates a 4-inch midrange driver that ensures vocals and instruments are rendered with lifelike clarity.

The speaker's cabinet is meticulously engineered to minimize resonance and distortion. Constructed from high-quality aluminum, the enclosure not only looks elegant but also serves to enhance sound performance. The use of aluminum allows for a rigid structure that effectively suppresses unwanted vibrations, resulting in a cleaner and more accurate audio reproduction. The aesthetic design of the AP 3 is equally impressive, featuring a sleek, minimalist profile that can complement any modern home decor.

Another important characteristic of the Piega AP 3 is its ability to deliver a wide soundstage. Thanks to its unique driver arrangement and carefully designed crossover network, the speaker disperses sound evenly across the room. This results in a compelling audio experience, whether you are sitting directly in front of the speakers or off to the side. The AP 3 can be easily paired with a variety of amplifiers, making it versatile for different audio setups.

With its impressive frequency response, the Piega AP 3 is capable of handling diverse musical genres, from classical to rock to electronic. The harmonious integration of its drivers ensures that bass, midrange, and treble frequencies blend seamlessly, offering rich tonal balance and dynamics.

In conclusion, the Piega AP 3 is a remarkable achievement in speaker design. Its ribbon tweeter technology, robust aluminum chassis, and excellent soundstage capabilities make it a top choice for discerning listeners who demand exceptional audio performance from a compact, stylish speaker. Whether for critical listening or casual enjoyment, the Piega AP 3 promises to elevate any audio experience.
