Piega AP1.2 Install Speaker

Piega is a Swiss loudspeaker maker that has spent four decades doing one thing better than almost anyone else: building ribbon transducers and mating them to extruded aluminum cabinets that disappear from the music. The company was founded in 1986 on Lake Zurich, and every speaker that wears the Piega badge — from the entry models to the limited-edition flagships — is still assembled by hand in Horgen, Switzerland. The ribbon-tweeter architecture that defines the brand is not borrowed technology. Piega develops and manufactures its own ribbon drivers in-house, including the coaxial ribbon module that places the midrange and treble at a single physical point and resolves the time-alignment problem that conventional two-way and three-way crossovers can only approximate. The cabinets are pulled from a single piece of extruded aircraft-grade aluminum, internally damped with Piega's Tension Improve Module to remove panel resonance before it can color the sound. The result is a presentation that listeners describe in the same vocabulary year after year: fast, clean, dimensionally precise, and free of the boxy signature that almost every traditional cabinet imposes on the music.

The AP 1.2 is Piega's compact on-wall loudspeaker — the model for the system that has to disappear into the room rather than dominate it. The oblique baffle geometry is not a styling decision; the angled enclosure prevents the parallel-wall standing waves that compromise most small cabinets. A single 130 mm MDS bass-midrange driver and Piega's LDR 2642 MKII ribbon tweeter sit behind a brushed aluminum baffle. The included articulating wall bracket allows the AP 1.2 to be mounted vertically or horizontally and adjusted for tweeter alignment to ear level, so the same speaker can serve as a stereo pair behind a flat-panel television, as a center channel above or below the screen, or as rear surround channels in a multi-channel system. Used with a Piega PS101 subwoofer to handle low frequencies, the AP 1.2 forms a complete system that maintains the ribbon-tweeter signature in installations where a floorstander or bookshelf simply will not fit.
