General Notes and Information Notice The information in this document may change without prior notice and in no way constitutes any liability on the part of Lautsprecher Teufel GmbH. No part of this user manual may be reproduced in any form or be broadcasted in any way electronically, mechanically, by photocopy or recording without the written permission of Lautsprecher Teufel GmbH. © Lautsprecher Teufel GmbH Version 4.
For Your Safety Proper use Safety notes The speakers are designed for the playback of audio signals that are transmitted by an external amplifier via a speaker cable. Only use the speakers as described in this user manual. Any other use will be deemed as not in accordance with the instructions and may lead to damage of property or even persons. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by improper use. The speakers are intended for domestic use.
– Ensure that children do not remove small parts from the unit or take them off of the unit (e.g. control knobs or plug adapters). They could swallow the parts and choke. Extended listening at high volumes may lead to hearing loss. To avoid damage to health, avoid extended listening at high volumes. – When the volume is set high, always keep a certain distance and never hold your ears directly on the speaker. – If an amplifier is set to full volume, this may produce very high sound pressure.
Unpacking and Setup Unpacking Positioning the speakers • Carefully open the boxes, take out the EPE foam parts and carefully lift the speakers out of the box without touching the diaphragms. The following data concern an “ideal listening room”, in which the listener sits in a central position at a sufficient distance in front of the speakers (see the graphic) and no objects (tables or the like) are located in between.
left speaker right speaker Stereo triangle The speakers should be situated to the left and right of the listener and if possible, form an equilateral triangle with the listener – the so-called stereo triangle (distance from the listener = distance between the speakers). The speakers should project sound straight into the room or be arranged slightly towards the listener.
Connecting Connection variations Bi-wiring In the process, the high and mid range speakers with a speaker cable and the two low tone speakers with a second speaker cable are connected. Bi-amping Here, the high/mid-range and low range speakers are each supplied with their own power amplifiers. On the back of the speakers is a connection terminal with four clamps. Here you can connect the speaker cables directly or using pin plugs. Only the direct connection is described here.
Connecting the cables CAUTION Risk of tripping! – Lay the cables so that they do not pose a tripping hazard. 1. Turn your amplifier off. 2. Lay the speaker cable from your amplifier to each speaker. Use a high-quality double wire speaker cable with marked strands for this. The cable should have a diameter of at least 1.5 mm2. 3. Split the single wire down by approx. 30 mm on both ends and remove approx. 10 mm of insulation each. Twist the stripped wire ends so that no strands are protruding.
Care and Cleaning The veneered surfaces of our speakers have a protective surface coat so they no wood polish is necessary. NOTICE External influences may damage or destroy the device. – If possible, only use plain water without any additives. In case of stubborn marks, a mild soap solution may be used. – Do not use caustic cleaning products, white spirit, thinners, petrol or similar under any circumstances. Such cleaning agents may damage the delicate surface of the housing.
