WISA CERTIFIED

The WiSA Certified PIEGA Ace Wireless series is a range of compact, fully integrated active loudspeakers with wireless sound from stereo up to 7.1 channel. The series incorporates PIEGA’s signature aluminium cabinets and AMT ribbon tweeters alongside TV integration (HDMI eARC, optical, coaxial, WiSA) and built-in streaming clients including Spotify Connect, Roon Ready, Google Chromecast as well as Bluetooth.

AMT TWEETER

Based on PIEGA’s original Ace series’ extruded aluminium cabinets, the industrial design is by leading Swiss architect, Stephan Hürlemann. The new Ace Wireless incorporates upgraded mid and bass MDS drivers, a revised version of PIEGA’s Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter, digital amplification up to 200W per channel, streaming services, and a sophisticated DSP system capable of handling up to 24bit/192kHz High-Res Audio.

PIEGA ACE WIRELESS SERIES

The series comprises the Ace 50 Wireless floorstanding speakers, Ace 30 Wireless bookshelf units, and the Ace Center Wireless centre channel model. All models are available in three colour finishes of sandblasted natural aluminium, anodised satin black or gloss white lacquer with colour coordinated, removable grilles. The Ace 50 and 30 Wireless models are available in TX (transmission) and RX (receiver) versions, a stereo pair being one of each unit. Multichannel systems use all RX designated units and receive the surround sound signal for each channel from a WiSA certified source or WiSA enabled TV/display device.

PIEGA Ace Wireless Series

A set of Ace Wireless loudspeakers for stereo music consists of one Tx and one Rx speaker. The Tx (Transmitter) sends music, in lossless hi-res quality, wirelessly to one or more Rx speakers (Receiver). A wireless multichannel system would consist solely of Rx speakers as a WiSA-certified component (e.g. TV) would act as the signal decoder (e.g. Dolby, DTS etc.) and transmission hub to the Ace Wireless loudspeakers.

PIEGA ACE 30 WIRELESS

The ‘bookshelf’ Ace 30 Wireless is a compact stand mount, 2-way loudspeaker, featuring a 120mm MDS mid/bass driver and an Air Motion Transformer ribbon tweeter. Powered by a 100W amplifier, the Ace 30’s DSP delivers an even frequency response (35Hz-25kHz) across the audio band, despite its small cabinet volume.
