Safety notes
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 pack-
ing film. Danger of suffocation.
• Ensure that children do not remove small parts from
the unit or take them off of the unit (e.g. remote control
batteries, control knobs or plug adapters). They could
swallow the parts and
choke.
Danger Risk of injury
An unstable base may cause the unit to tip and
injure or even kill persons, children are particu-
larly at risk. You can prevent many accidents by taking
the following precautions.
• Only use underframes or speaker stands recommended
by the manufacturer.
• Only place the unit on furniture capable of carrying
the load.
• Make sure that the unit is completely placed on the
piece of furniture and does not hang over the edge.
• If you place the unit on a tall piece of furniture such as
a book case or refrigerator, brace the piece of furni-
ture and the TV set to the wall.
• Do not place any decorative blankets or other ma-
terials on the piece of furniture before you place the
device on it.
• Warn your children of the risks associated with climb-
ing onto the piece of furniture in order to reach the
unit.
• When storing the device, also make sure that the previ-
ously described points are complied with.
Danger to hearing!
Loud noise may lead to hearing loss.
Very high noise pressure may be emitted espe-
cially if a device is activated and set to full volume. This
may have psychological consequences and also cause
physical injury. Children and pets are particularly at risk.
• Set the volume control of your signal source to a low
setting.
• 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!
Setting up the unit in an unsuitable location
may result in injury to persons and/or damage
to property.
• Never use the unit unmounted in vehicles, in unstable
locations, on wobbly tripods or furniture, on insuf-
ficiently dimensioned brackets 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 make sure that the cables do not pose
a trip hazard.
• If mounting the speakers on the wall, make sure that
the job is carried out by a professional.
• Only use suitable wall brackets for mounting. Verify the
carrying capacity of the walls.
• Do not place the unit near sources of heat (e.g. heat-
ers, ovens, other heat generating equipment such as
amplifiers etc.)
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.
• Do not place the unit in direct sunlight.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Do not cover the ventilation slots with curtains, blan-
kets, newspapers or similar. Heat build-up inside the
unit can shorten the lifetime of the unit.

Unpacking and setup
Carefully open the boxes, carefully lift out the speakers
with the EPE foam parts and remove the foam parts with-
out touching the diaphragms.
Connector cables
The T110 D series is delivered without a con-
nector cable due to the variety of different
customer needs. You can find suitable cables in our
webshop (www.teufel.de) in the “Accessories” area.
Check to be sure
• Check that all items have been delivered and that noth-
ing is damaged.
• If the delivery is incomplete or you find damage sus-
tained in transit, do not operate the unit but contact our
service department (see page 3).
Removing the protective grids
You can remove the protective grids from the speakers by
carefully reaching behind the protective grid and slowly
pulling it off to the front.
When reattaching the grids, ensure that the installation
pins slide into the corresponding holes on the speaker.
Location tips
• 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
speakers.
The following data concern an “ideal home cinema”,
in which the listener sits in a central position at a suf-
ficient distance in front of the speakers (see the adjacent
graphic) and no objects (tables or the like) are located
in between. Unfortunately, the room, furnishings or other
circumstances do not always allow for optimum arrange-
ment.
Modern amplifiers offer a variety of possibilities for
electronically compensating losses associated with the
arrangement. The following general rule applies: You can
always experiment on what works best in your listening
room in terms of sound and appearance based on our
recommendations. Let your ears (and eyes) be the judge!

Rear speakers
You can switch the two T110 D rear speakers between
normal and dipole mode using the toggle switch between
the connecting terminals. The sound is emitted from the
front and back in dipole mode.

Possible arrangements for rear speakers
There are two possible arrangements for these speakers:
Normally, they are set up or hung to the side of the
listener at head level (140 to 210 cm). In the process,
the rear speakers are switched to dipole mode and emit
sound to the front and back. The distance to the rear wall
should be no less than 10 cm.
The second arrangement possibility is suitable for narrow
rooms. In this case, the rear speakers are placed at a
height of 140 to 210 cm behind the listener and situated
at a 45 degree angle. This way, the speakers project
sound towards the walls and produce the desired spatial
diffusion in dipole mode. The distance to the walls should
also be not less than 10 cm in this case.
Center speaker
• Place the center speaker in a central position under or
next to the screen.
Front speakers
• The front speakers are set up to the right and left of the
screen.
• They should be in line with the center speaker and
form an equilateral 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 slightly towards the listener.
Subwoofer
• The location of the subwoofer can be freely selected
and does not influence the other speakers. A location
between the front speakers is often ideal.

Connecting
Danger Danger of injury/damage!
Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a
trip hazard.
• Pull the mains plug of your AV receiver out of the
socket to prevent accidental activation.
• Lay the speaker cables from your AV receiver to each
speaker. These cables should be high-quality double-
wire speaker cable with marked strands.
A small tip: Label the cables on the receiver side –
This will help when taking down and setting up the
receiver.
• A connector terminal with two terminal clips is located
on the back side of each speaker. Here you can con-
nect the speaker cables directly or with pin plugs. We
only describe the direct connection in these instruc-
tions.
• The terminals are each marked red (+) and black (-).
Make sure the polarity is correct!
Connect the like-coloured terminals with one an-
other. Otherwise, the sound quality will suffer.
The speaker connections of your AV receiver should be
similarly marked. The strands of the speaker cables are
marked with different colours, shapes or labels.
1. Split the single wire
on both ends up
to approx. 30 mm
and remove ap-
prox. 10 mm of the
insulation on each
single wire. Twist
the single wire so
that no strands are protruding.
2. Turn the connector terminal
counterclockwise until loose.
Run the stripped cable into the
hole that is now visible. Turn
the terminal clockwise until
closed. The cable has now
been clamped into place.
3. Connect the other end of the speaker cable to the front
speaker outputs of your amplifier. You can find informa-
tion on this in the corresponding operating instructions.
Care and cleaning
The veneered surfaces of our speakers have a protective
surface coat, which eliminates the need for wood polish.
• You can best remove dust or small amounts of dirt with
a dry, smooth leather cloth.
• Rub off stubborn dirt with a damp cloth. Make sure
that no liquids penetrate the speakers.
• Then immediately wipe the surfaces dry using a soft
cloth and without applying pressure.
Attention Risk of damage!
Using the wrong cleaning materials may dam-
age the delicate surface of the case.
• If possible only use lukewarm, plain water without any
cleaning products. 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.

borough. In this way, used devices can be recycled and
waste materials disposed of in an environmentally friend-
ly manner.
