Attention
Fire hazard!
Improper use may lead to damage or fire.
• Do not place open flames such as burning candles or
similar on the unit.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Do not place the unit in direct sunlight.
• Only use the unit in indoor areas.
• Do not operate the unit in moist areas and protect it from
drops of water and splash water.
Also take care not to stand vases or other containers
filled with liquid on or near the unit in order to avoid liquid
getting into the housing.
Danger Danger of injury/damage!
Incorrect location may result in damage.
• Never use the unit unmounted in vehicles, in unstable
locations, on wobbly stands or furniture, on under-
dimensioned brackets etc. The speakers could tip or fall
down and cause injury to persons or be damaged.
• Place the speakers on the ground only.
• Place the speakers in such a way that they cannot be
knocked over unseen and make sure that the cables do
not pose a trip hazard.
• Carefully follow the installation instructions.
• Only use the supplied base plate.
• Do not place the unit near sources of heat (e.g. heaters,
ovens, other heat generating equipment such as ampli-
fiers etc.).
Danger Danger to children!
Children can become trapped in the packing film
when playing 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 electrical devices unsu-
pervised.
Danger to hearing
Loud noise may lead to hearing loss.
Particularly when the subwoofer has been set to
maximum volume and the unit is activated, very high noise
pressure may suddenly be produced. This may have psy-
chological consequences and also cause physical injury.
Children and pets are particularly at risk.
• Set your signal source unit volume control to a low set-
ting.
• When the volume is set high, always keep a certain
distance from the unit and never place your ear directly
on the speaker.
• To avoid damage to health, avoid extended listening at
high volume.

Setup and connection
Setup
Note
Our website contains comprehensive notes for correct
setup.
• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free from
dust.
• Avoid placing the unit close to sources 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 the cables or the speak-
ers.
• Make sure that the speaker has a stable position to prevent
vibrations.
Connecting
Danger Danger of injury/damage!
Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a
trip hazard.
• Pull the power plug of your AV receiver or multi-channel ac-
tive subwoofer out of the socket.
• Lay the speaker cables from your AV receiver or multi-chan-
nel active subwoofer to each speaker. These cables should
be high-quality double-wire speaker cable with marked
strands. The cross section should amount to 2.5mm2.
• A connector comprising two terminals is located on the
back side of each speaker, to which you have to connect
the speaker cables.
• The terminal clips are each marked red (+) and black (-).
Make sure the polarity is correct!
Connect the like coloured terminals. Otherwise the
sound quality will suffer.
The speaker connections of your AV receiver or
multi-
channel active subwoofer should be marked similarly. The
strands of the speaker cables are marked with different
colours or shapes.
1. Split the single wire down to approx. 30 mm on both ends
and strip approx. 10 mm of insulation off of each cord.
2. Twist the stripped single wire ends together so that no wire
protrudes. Tin coating is not necessary.
3. Turn the connector terminal counterclockwise until loose.
Run the stripped cable end into the now visible hole. Close
the terminal by turning it clockwise. The cable has now
been clamped in place.
4. Connect the cables to the other speaker in the same way.
5. Connect the speaker cables to your AV receiver or multi-
channel active subwoofer. The operating instructions of the
appliance should contain notes on this.
Crossover frequency
The ideal separation frequency on the AV preamplifier/receiv-
er or Teufel DecoderStation for the column speaker L 430 FR
is 120Hz.
①

Clean the speaker regularly with a soft, damp microfibre cloth.
Please be absolutely sure to observe the following notes in
the process:
• If possible, only use plain water without any additives. In
case of stubborn marks, a mild soap solution may be used.
• Make sure that no liquid penetrates the unit.
Cleaning and care
The following advice should help you to solve problems. If this does not help, you will find useful information in the detailed FAQs
on our website. Otherwise, please contact our hotline. Take note of the warranty instructions.
Problem Possible cause Solution
Playback is noisy. In general, the speaker is very low-noise.
In most cases, the speaker system with ex-
ceptional resolution in the high range area
can expose the poor quality of a signal
source (e.g. from MP3 files).
Ensure that the source is sending a clear signal.
The sound seems dull. The speakers have been connected with
the wrong poles.
Verify the correct connection of the cables for all
speakers.
Troubleshooting
Attention
Risk of damage!
Using the wrong cleaning materials may damage
the delicate surface of the case.
If possible, only use plain water without any additives. In
case of stubborn marks, a mild soap solution may be used.
In no circumstances should caustic cleaning products,
white spirit, thinners, petrol or similar be used for cleaning.

Disposal
Important information in accordance
with the Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Act (Germany: ElektroG)
We advise owners of electrical and electronic appliances that
old electrical and electronic devices must be handed in sepa-
rately from municipal waste, in accordance with the applica-
ble regulations. Batteries and rechargeable batteries that are
not firmly enclosed in old electrical devices and lamps, and
that can be removed from the old device without destroying
them, must be separated from them in a non-destructive
manner before they are handed to the collection point for
their intended disposal. Please take note of our information
on the Batteries Act [Germany: BattG] below for disposing of
batteries.
You make an important contribution to returning, recycling
and further processing of old devices if you separate your old
devices into the correct collection groups for recycling.
The symbol below of a crossed-out dustbin, applied to elec-
trical and electronic appliances, also advises of the duty to
separate collections:
Consumer electronics stores and supermarkets are obliged,
under certain conditions, to take back old electrical and elec-
tronic devices, in accordance with section 17 of the Electrical
and Electronic Equipment Act. Stationary retailers must take
back an old electrical device of the same type when a new
electrical device is bought (1:1 return). This also applies to
home deliveries. These retailers must also take back up to
three small old electrical devices (≤ 25cm) without this being
linked to a new purchase (0:1 return).
In accordance with the Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Act, as online retailers of electrical devices and due to our
product range, our obligation is limited to 1:1 return of large
devices of > 50 cm when selling a new electrical or electronic
device of the same type. We comply with the obligation of
return of devices other than large devices through our service
provider. You can find the exact contact data and collection
points on our website www.Teufel.de/entsorgung. It is also
possible to return old electrical and electronic appliances free
of charge at an official delivery point run by the public waste
disposal authorities.
Important: For safety reasons we ask that you refrain from
sending lighting fixtures (some lamps). For return of lighting
fixtures please use the public waste disposal collection points
or contact us directly at www.Teufel.de/entsorgung.
As an end-user, you are responsible for deleting any personal
data on old electrical appliances before handing it in.
Important: Our appliances can contain batteries/rechargea-
ble batteries. If this is the case, please refer to its attached
product documentation for additional information on the
type and chemical make-up of the battery. For products with
battery compartments you can directly remove the batteries
or rechargeable batteries and dispose of them properly. If
the batteries are built in to the product, do not in any case
attempt to remove the batteries yourself, instead contact one
of our employees or appropriate specialist staff.
