SMART SPEAKER RANGE The epitome of Swiss style and engineering, Piega’s slender ‘Smart’ speakers supply great sound with discreet space-efficient design. New to the UK and enhanced by quintessentially chic Swiss style and accuracy, the three-strong Smart range of home speakers occupies a fraction of the living space usually surrendered to conventional AV speakers, yet produces a big, wide high fidelity sound.
Cut from a single length of extruded aluminium and hand-made by Piega, Switzerland’s luxury speaker manufacturer, the Smart speakers are available in a choice of natural or black anodized aluminium finishes and will integrate successfully with any space, large or small. Their striking ultra-slim, ultra-rigid cabinet design is internally damped with a layer of bitumen composite and angled for low colouration and great style.
Standing at just over a metre tall and only 14cm wide is the slim-line Smart3 column loudspeaker. Its angled bass-reflex cabinet, loaded with twin 4” MDS (Maximum Displacement Suspension) bass drivers and single neodymium tweeter is engineered to deliver high efficiency, producing clear highs and taut rhythmic bass in even the largest living spaces.
At only 21cm (8”) high and 14cm wide, the super-compact Smart1 satellite loudspeaker will blend discreetly with décor, yet for its size it produces a disproportionately wide frequency range. Having similar drivers and power handling capability as the Smart3, it’s the perfect match for the taller speaker in an unobtrusive surround sound system or as a high quality stereo pair for music where space is at a premium. more….
The Smart Center is a specialised centre channel speaker, having the same driver configuration as the Smart3, but in a sealed enclosure.
Occupying a little over a cubic foot of space, the potent PS1 active subwoofer will provide a prodigious bass foundation to the sound of a Smart series multi-channel music or film sound system. Its damped reflex-ported aluminium cabinet in matching natural or black anodised finishes, houses a substantial 9” bass driver, equipped with a flat-wound voice-coil and reinforced double-spider suspension. The system, which is capable of 24Hz at -3dB, is powered by a built-in 250W amplifier. Connections are LFE, line and high level to accommodate most system integration requirements.
At the centre of a discreet home entertainment system, Piega’s roomfriendly Smart speakers will complement the slender dimensions of today’s thin screens and media players/streamers to deliver a big, accurate wideband sound in a style that’s beautifully Swiss.
