Setup

NOTE
You can purchase assembly material specifically designed for this loudspeaker (cable, support feet, resonance absorber and wall bracket) from our web store (“Accessories” area).

1. Carry the loudspeaker carefully to the place of installation.
   → Notes on the place of installation – p. 12

2. Place the loudspeakers on a stable and level surface or mount with the wall bracket.

   • Make sure that the loudspeakers are resting firmly in a stable position to prevent vibrations.
     ☑ The loudspeakers are in position.

Attaching/ removing the protective covers

NOTE
You can use the loudspeakers with or without the enclosed protective covers. Without the covers, higher frequency sounds will be clearer.

• Mount the protective cover on the front of the loudspeaker via the magnetic fastening.
  ☑ The protective cover has been mounted.

• To remove the protective cover, carefully reach behind the protective cover and gently pull it forward off the loudspeaker.
  ☑ The protective cover has been removed.
  

Notes on the place of installation

• Dry, dust-free environment.
• Sufficient ventilation.
• Avoid proximity to heat sources and direct sunlight.
• Connection cables must not cause a trip hazard.

Positioning/ arranging the loudspeakers

NOTE
The following information on positioning or arranging the loudspeakers relates to the “ideal audio space” where the listener is sitting at a sufficient distance centrally in front of the loudspeakers with no objects (e.g. table) in between (→ „Set-up in the room (example)“). If the room, equipment or other factors are preventing you from placing the loudspeakers in an optimum position, try experimenting with different positions or arrangements, based on the following information, to see where the loudspeakers work best, both visually and acoustically.

Set-up in the room (example)

• Set up the loudspeakers so that the operating panel on the primary loudspeaker is easily accessible. The (L/R) position of the respective loudspeaker in the stereo configuration can be defined at a later stage using the Teufel Home app. → Teufel Home App – p. 17
• Where possible, position both loudspeakers or attach them to the wall at an equal distance (right/left) from the listener.
• Where possible, the loudspeakers should form a triangle with the listener (“stereo triangle”: distance from listener = distance between loudspeakers).
• Depending on the loudspeaker and the place of installation, it can be a good idea to orientate the loudspeaker at an angle towards the listening position.
