Setup
NOTICE
If the device is subjected
to warm temperatures after
being cold (e.g. after trans-
port), condensation may occur
inside of it.
–In this case, wait approx. 2
hours before you connect
and activate it.
CAUTION
The device is disconnected
from the mains by pulling the
mains plug out of the socket.
–Therefore make sure that
the socket is always easily
accessible.
Location tips
• Make sure that the environment is
clean and free from dust.
• Select a location away from heat
sources and direct sunlight.
• Do not place any heavy objects on
the cables or the device.
• The wireless connection has a
maximum range of 15 m, but can
be obstructed by objects, walls
and other transmitters (e.g. Wi-Fi,
DECT).
Rear speakers
As rear speakers, the wireless
speakers are set up or hung to the
side of or behind the listener at a
height of 1.20 m to 2.10 m (see the
grey areas in the graphic).
The ideal position is offset by approx.
20 degrees from the parallel posi-
tion to the listener on the left and
right side (A). The distance between
the rear speakers and the listening
position should not be less than 1 m.
However, if you (need to) sit closer,
please ensure that the front side of
the speaker is not directly facing you.
Rather, the speaker must be angled
towards the wall (B). Alternatively,
you can create a greater distance
by placing the speakers higher than
1.20 m or further away (C).

Operation
Setting the channel
• With the POSITION switch (6), you
determine the stereo channel (right
or left) to be played back by the
respective wireless speaker.
• The speakers can only connect
if one speaker is set to the right
channel and the other to the left
channel.
Mains connection
• Connect the power cord with the
power cord jack socket (7) and
insert the plug of the power cord (5)
in a mains socket (220–240
V~/50 Hz).
• The first time you turn the wireless
speaker on, it will switch to pairing
mode and the power indicator (3)
will quickly blink in white.

search for the transmitter.
The power indicator (3) will fade in
and out in white.

as soon as you switch on the trans-
mitter.

Troubleshooting
The following advice should help you to solve problems. If this does not work, our
online support area will provide help:
https://manual.teufelaudio.com
Problem Possible cause/solution
The Effekt’s power
indicator (3) does
not illuminate.
Make sure that power is supplied. Check to make sure that
the mains plug is securely seated.
The LED turns off when the transmitter is switched off. To
check whether the device is working, pull the plug out of the
socket, wait 1 minute and then plug it back in. The power
indicator starts fading in and out.
No sound The volume has been set too low. Increase the volume on
the transmitter.
No 5.1 audio: If e.g. a pure stereo signal is played, the rear
speakers will remain mute. Then select a surround sound
simulation such as Dolby Prologic on the transmitter unit.
A “test tone” is suitable for testing the connection providing
your transmitter unit offers this function for adjusting the
level.
The rear satel-
lites do not emit
sound.
MP3s, radio as well as many TV programmes only transmit
stereo sound. Switch your receiver to a Pro-Logic mode or
a DSP mode (5.1 Stereo). Select UPMIX method or get a
5.1 signal.
No connection Transmitter is off – switch the transmitter on.
Distance is >15m or objects are blocking the connection
signal. Correct the allocation of the devices.
The connection is
not automatically
established.
Reconnect the devices (see page 8).
The transmission
is disrupted.
Other wireless signal sources (cordless telephones, Wi-Fi
stations or microwaves) affect the connection. Move the
devices causing the disturbance.
