Safety notes
Caution icons
You will find the following caution icons
used in these instructions:
Danger High risk!
Failure to observe the warning
may result in severe personal
injury or death.
Attention Moderate risk!
Failure to observe the warning
may result in property damage.
Minor risk!
Points which should be ob-
served when handling the unit.
Safety notes
Danger Risk of electric shock!
Faulty installation of electri-
cal equipment or mains volt-
age which is too high can cause electric
shocks.
• The device is suitable for use with a
power supply voltage of 100–240 V~
/ 50 60 Hz.
• Only use the enclosed mains adapter.
When connecting the unit, make sure
that the correct voltage is present. You
will find detailed information directly
on your mains adapter.
• Immediately disconnect the mains
adapter and discontinue using the de-
vice if its case or the mains line is de-
fective or exhibits other visible dam-
ages.
• If the unit emits smoke or smells of
burning or other unusual odours, dis-
connect it immediately from the power
supply and do not operate it.
• The On/Off switch does not discon-
nect the device from the power sup-
ply. You should therefore set up the de-
vice so that the AC adapter plug is
easily accessible.
• Never open the unit housing.
Repairs may only be carried out by an
authorised specialist workshop. Only
parts which conform with the original
device specifications may be used for
repairs. There are electrical and me-
chanical parts in this unit which are es-
sential in order to avoid exposure to
sources of danger.
• Only use accessory products, which
are exclusively specified by the manu-
facturer.
• Only use the unit in indoor areas.
• Do not operate the unit in damp areas
and protect it from drops of water or
splash water.
Also take care not to stand vases or
other containers of liquid on or near
the unit in order to avoid liquid getting
into the case. If water or other foreign
objects penetrate the housing, immedi-
ately disconnect the AC adapter plug.
Then send the device to our service ad-
dress.
• Never touch the mains adapter with
wet hands.
• Check the unit regularly for damage.

Danger Danger to children!
Children can become trapped
in the packing film when play-
ing and suffocate.
• Do not allow children to play with the
unit or the packing film. Danger of
suffocation.
• 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.
• Never allow children to operate elec-
trical devices unsupervised.
Danger Danger of injury/dam-
age!
Setting up the device in a loca-
tion that is not suitable may cause injury
to persons and/or damage to property.
• Do not use the device in vehicles with-
out having it secured, in unstable lo-
cations, on wobbly tripods or furni-
ture etc. The device could tip or fall
down and cause injury to persons or
be damaged itself.
• Arrange the device so that it cannot
be knocked over accidentally and that
the cables do not pose a trip hazard.
• Do not place the unit near sources of
heat (e.g. heaters, ovens, other heat
generating equipment such as ampli-
fiers etc.)
• Do not place the unit in direct sun-
light.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation.
Do not cover the device with curtains,
blankets, magazines or the like. Heat
build-up inside the unit can shorten
the lifetime of the unit.
Attention Risk of damage!
Other influences may damage
or destroy the unit.
• If the unit is to be left unsupervised
for a long period (e.g. during a holi-
day), or if a thunderstorm is forecast,
disconnect the mains adapter from the
socket. Otherwise, sudden overvolt-
age may cause a defect.
• If the device is subjected to warm tem-
peratures after being cold (e.g. after
transport) condensation may occur in-
side of it.
In this case wait at least 2 hours be-
fore you connect and activate it.

Setup and connection
Setup location
• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the environment is
clean and free from dust.
• Avoid placing the unit close to sourc-
es of heat or in direct sunlight.
• Arrange the connector cables so that
they do not pose a trip hazard.
• Do not place any heavy objects on
top of the cables or the unit.
Record player
Most record players are equipped with
a magnetic removal system (MM – “mov-
ing magnet”). Dynamic systems (MC –
“moving coil”) systems, which are often
more expensive, require more amplifi-
cation.
• Connect the audio output of your
record player with the corresponding
input jacks of the preamplifier:
2“MC” – dynamic system,
4“MM” – magnetic system.
The jacks are coloured:
white “L” – left sound channel,
red “R” – right sound channel.
If your record player still has to be
connected with a DIN plug, you will
need an RCA plug adapter, which
24
you can purchase at a qualified tech-
nical outlet.
• Push the switch 3“MC – MM” to the
position of the input in use.
• If your record player has a ground
connection, connect it with the ground
connection 7using the enclosed earth
cable 햴.

this.
You can find suitable cables in our
webshop (www.teufelaudio.com) in
the “Accessories” area.
Danger Risk of damage!
Do not connect the pre-amplifi-
er with any available PHONO
connection as this could damage the
amplifier and/or speakers!

Care and cleaning
Clean the device regularly with a soft,
damp microfibre cloth. Please be abso-
lutely sure to observe the following notes
in the process:
Danger Risk of electric shock!
In contact with live parts, wa-
ter can lead to electric shock
or short circuit.
• Make sure that no liquid penetrates
the mains adapter or the device.
• Pull the plug mains adapter out of the
socket before cleaning.
Attention Risk of damage!
The wrong cleaner could dam-
age the sensitive case surface.

Protecting the environment
Disposing of the unit
Used units must not be dis-
posed of with household
waste!
If the unit is no longer opera-
tional, every consumer is re-
quired by law to dispose of used devices
separately from household waste, e.g. at
a collection point run by the communal
authority borough. In this way it is en-
sured, that used devices are properly re-
cycled and that negative consequences
on the environment are avoided.
For this reason, electrical equipment is
labelled with the symbol shown here.
