Warranty conditions
12 year warranty for loudspeakers from date of pur-
chase. Covers materials and workmanship, excludes dam-
age caused by improper use or electrical or mechanical
overload. Proof of warranty is the original of our invoice.
This warranty applies solely to loudspeakers, ampliers
and electronics purchased from Teufel by an end user for
private use. The warranty is not valid for loudspeakers,
ampliers and electronics, which pass to an end user via
a third party merchant. In the case of a private re-sale of
Teufel products the warranty may be transferred to the
purchaser as long as the original proof of purchase is
also passed on to the purchaser.
Returns
Teufel provides the right to exchange or return within
eight weeks with refund of the purchase price paid.
Return of individual components sold as a package is
only possible if these components are also sold individu-
ally by Lautsprecher Teufel. In the case of the return of
one or more individual components the package price
reduction offered by Lautsprecher Teufel on all com-
ponents in a package no longer applies. The amount
refunded to the customer for the components returned will
therefore only be the difference between the package
price and the purchase price of the individual parts. The
economic result for the customer is that it is as if he/she
had originally bought the remaining components at their
individual prices.
Further information on the subject of returns may be
found on the back of the returns form enclosed with the
order or online in the support area of our website www.
teufel.eu.
If you need to return your goods please do not act with-
out first speaking to Lautsprecher Teufel.
We can only process or accept your returns if you give
us prior notification by telephone and discuss how to
proceed!
Proper use
Only use the speakers as described in these instructions.
Any other use will be deemed as not in accordance with
the instructions and may lead to damage to property
or even persons. The manufacturer accepts no liability
for damage caused by use not in accordance with the
instructions.
The speakers are intended for private use.
Before using the speakers for the rst time please
rst read the safety notes and operating instruc-
tions carefully. This is the only way to use all
functions safely and reliably.
Keep the operating instructions safe and pass them on to
anyone who may own the unit after you.
General notes and information

Safety notes
Caution icons
You will nd the following Caution icons in these instruc-
tions:
Danger High risk!
.
Attention Moderate risk!
Minor risk!
Safety notes
Danger Danger to children!
Children can become trapped in the packing
lm when playing and suffocate.
Do not allow children to play with the unit or the pack-•
ing lm. Danger of suffocation.
Never allow children to operate electrical devices •
unsupervised.
Danger Danger to hearing!
Loud noise may lead to hearing loss.
Set the volume control of your signal source device to a •
low level before turning the device on.
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.
Danger Danger of injury/damage!
Incorrect location may result in damage.
Never use the unit unmounted in a vehicle, on an •
unstable surface, on wobbly stands or furniture, with
undersized wall xings etc. The speakers could fall
down or fall over and be damaged or cause injury.
Set up the speakers so that there is no risk of them •
tipping over and the cables don’t represent a tripping
hazard.
Do not use the speakers if the housing or cables are •
defective or exhibit other visible damages.
Only use the speakers indoors or in protected outdoor •
areas.
Ensure that no vases or other containers with liquids •
are placed on the speakers or near them to prevent
liquids from penetrating the housing. If liquids do
penetrate the speaker at some point, let them run off
through the drainage opening (see page 7). To do this,
simply pull out the plug.
Do not place the speakers near heat sources (e. g. •
radiators or heaters, ovens, other heat-emitting devices
such as ampliers etc.).

Unpacking and setup
Carefully open the boxes, remove the styrofoam padding
and carefully lift the speakers out of the box.
Check to be sure
Check that all items have been delivered and that noth-•
ing is damaged.
If the delivery is incomplete or you nd damage sus-•
tained in transit, do not operate the unit but contact our
service department (see page 3).
Location tips
Select a stable, level base.•
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 •
speakers.
The following information concerns an “ideal listening
room”, where the listener sits in a central position at
an adequate distance in front of the speakers (see the
adjacent graphic) and there are no objects between the
listener and speakers (tables or the like). Unfortunately,
available space, furnishing or other circumstances may
not always allow for an optimum arrangement.
Generally speaking, the following rule applies: You can
always use our recommendations as a base to experi-
ment with what works best acoustically and optically in
your home. Let your ears (and eyes) decide!
The speakers should be situated at ear level to the left
and right of the listener and if possible, form an equi-
lateral triangle with the listener – the so-called stereo
triangle (distance from the listener = distance between the
speakers). The speakers should project sound directly into
the room or be arranged slightly towards the listener.
If needed, the universal speakers can be supplemented
with an active subwoofer. For this, set the crossover fre-
quency on the subwoofer to 80 Hz.
Stereo triangle

Removing the cover grill
You can take the cover grill off of the speakers by careful-
ly pulling it off to the front.
When putting the cover grill back on, please ensure that
the metal edge slides directly into the carrying groove on
the speaker.

Connecting the cables
Danger Danger of injury/damage!
Remember: Arrange the cables so that they do
not pose a trip hazard.
Turn your amplier off.1.
Lay the speaker cord from your amplier to each of 2.
the speakers. This cable should be a high-quality
speaker doubled twisted cable with marked strands.
The cross-section should amount to at least 0.75 mm2.
The maximum connectable cord cross-section amounts
to 4 mm2.
A terminal with two plugs is located on the back of 3.
each of the speakers. You can connect the speaker
cables to these terminals.
The terminals are each marked red (+) and black (-).4.
Observe the correct polarity!
Connect the like coloured terminals with one
another. Otherwise the sound quality will suf-
fer. The speaker connectors of your amplier should be
marked similarly. The strands of the speaker cables are
marked with different colours or forms.
Split the cord down to approximately 30 mm on both 5.
ends and strip approximately 10 mm of insulation off
of each cord.
Twist the cords so that no strands are
protruding .
Loosen the terminals by turning them counter-clockwise.6.
Run the stripped cord end into the visible terminal hole. 7.
Turn the terminal clockwise. This will secure the cable.8.
Connect the speaker cable to your amplier. You will 9.
nd information on how to do this in the operating
instructions of your device.
