Setup and connection
Setup location
• Preferably, the room, where you plan to use a
Concept C 200, should not be larger than 25 sqm.
• 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 connecting cables so that they do not
pose a trip hazard.
• Do not place any heavy objects on top of the cables
or units.
Subwoofer
In general, you can position the subwoofer anywhere on
the floor in the room. Positioning the subwoofer between
the two front satellites is often beneficial. However, it is
not absolutely necessary that it be situated between the
satellite speakers as our ears are not capable of directly
locating the source of bass tones.
There should be at least 30 cm of space in front of the
bass speaker 2 and the reflex opening 3 as consider-
able air movement is produced around these openings at
higher volumes.
Satellite speakers
For the best possible sound quality, you should
• set up the left and right speaker at equal distances
from your preferred sitting position;
• set up the speakers at ear level;
• position the speakers on a shelf so that their front panel
is flush with the front edge of the shelf;
• do not cover the speakers with fabrics or objects.
You can set up the satellite speakers using the stands
included in the product contents or mount them directly
on the wall.
Table stand assembly
Insert the screw d through
the top hole of the table
stand c and turn the screw
into the threaded bush-
ing 11 on the back of the
speaker. Do not over tighten
the screw. The connectors of
the speaker cord are now
covered by the table stand
– to connect them later on,
loosen the screw somewhat
and turn the table stand to
the side.
d c
Wall mounting
You will need the following materials for wall mounting:
• one screw for each speaker, 4 x 40 mm
(screw head = ø 9 mm)
• for rock walls, one dowel for each speaker (ø 5 mm)
Danger
Danger of damage and electric shock!
Proceed with care when mounting the unit on
the wall and follow the instructions below.
• The speakers may only be mounted on the wall by
properly qualified persons.
• The unit may only be mounted on a suitable, solid wall.
If mounting on plasterboard walls special dowels or
fixings may be required. Seek the advice of an expert.
• Ensure that no cords or pipes are located at the
desired mounting point. Before drilling and tightening
the screws, check the applicable areas with a metal
detector.
Drive the screw into the wall and hang the speaker with
the mounting hole 10 on the screw.
Connecting the satellites
To connect the satellite speakers, use high-quality,
two-core speaker cable with a diameter of at least 1.5
mm2 and if possible, a banana plug for the subwoofer.
You can order them both as a set in our webshop
(www.teufelaudio.com) in the “Accessories” area.

12
The connector terminals 7 “SPEAKER OUT” for the right
(“Right ”) and left (“Left ”) speakers are located on the
back of the subwoofer.
The connector terminals 12 are located on the back of
the satellite speakers.
The terminals are marked in red (+) and black (-) respec-
tively.
Observe the correct polarity!
Connect the like-coloured terminals with one
another. Otherwise, the sound quality will
suffer. The cores of the speaker cable are marked with
different colours or shapes.

• Concept C 200 9
Split the cables down to approximately 30 mm on both
ends and strip approximately 10 mm of insulation on the
respective cores. Twist the cables so that no cores are
protruding.
Push down the lever for the connector terminal 12 on the
satellites and insert the stripped cable end into the open-
ing below the respective connector terminal. The cable is
clamped in place when the lever is released.
If you use banana plugs, screw the cord into place on
the plug (see instructions for the banana plug) and insert
the plug into the jack of the connector terminal 7 on the
subwoofer.
If you don’t use any banana plugs, turn the connector
terminal 7 counterclockwise. Insert the stripped cable end
into the hole that is now visible. Turn the terminal clock-
wise. This will clamp the cable in place.
Connecting the desktop remote control

Connect the desktop remote control to the jack
5 “REMOTE CONTROL”.
RCA input
4
You can connect almost any audio source to the RCA
jacks 4 “LINE IN” such as a computer, MP3 player
(with/without dock), video game system, television etc.
The source device only needs an output with line level.
Such outputs are configured either as stereo RCA jacks
or as a 3.5 mm jack plug. Connect such devices to the
jacks 4 “LINE IN” using a corresponding connector
cable. You can purchase such cables in our webshop
(www.teufelaudio.com) in the “Accessories” area.
USB input
6
Besides the RCA input, your Concept C 200 also has a
USB interface which you can use to connect to a note-
book, PC or Mac. Your Concept C 200 will operate just
like a sound card when connected via USB.
• Connect the terminal 6 USB with a free USB port on
your computer (all USB standards are supported).
A Type A to Type B USB cable is suitable.
A specific
driver installation is not necessary with Windows ver-
sions XP, Vista, 7 and 8 and Mac OS X.
You may need to select your Concept C 200 as a play-
back device in the audio menu of your operating system.
It is displayed as “USB Multimedia Audio Device”.
Note:
In order to be able to use the analogue audio input 4
“LINE IN” and the Concept C 200 USB sound card at
the same time the computer must be switched on and
operational!
After connecting the USB cable to the “USB” terminal 6
and to the PC, the standard drivers will be installed.
Afterwards the following settings are required:
1. In the control panel please select the “Hardware and
Sound” area.
2. Then select the subitem “Sounds” and click “Manage
audio devices”.
3. In the pop-up window select “Speaker USB audio
device”.
You will now be able to select the item “Properties”
(previously greyed out). Please click this item.

Care an cleaning
Clean your Concept C 200 regularly with a soft, slightly
damp microfibre cloth. Please be absolutely sure to ob-
serve the following:
Danger Risk of electric shock!
In contact with live parts water can lead to
electric shock or short circuit.
• Ensure that no water gets into the unit.
• Disconnect the device from the mains power supply
before cleaning.
Attention Risk of damage!
Using the wrong cleaning materials may dam-
age the delicate surface of the case.
• If possible use only plain water with no cleaning prod-
ucts. 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.
Troubleshooting
The following notes and further detailed information on our website should help you to rectify malfunctions. If this does
not lead to success, please contact our hotline 00800 - 200 300 40 (free of charge). Please also observe the warranty
notes.
Störung Mögliche Ursache Abhilfe
The unit produces no
sound.
Volume is set to »0 «. Increase the volume.
Fuse defective. 1. 2. spare
Disconnect the power
cord.
Carefully pull the fuse
holder out of the mains
connection.
Push the old fuse out.
Insert a new fuse (3.15 AL
delayed action) and push
the holder back.
The input signal is too low Increase the volume at the source device.
Subwoofer buzzes. The buzzing is caused by problems
with the power supply.
Purchase a line filter and connect it to the device.
The buzzing is caused by a multi-
way socket.
Use another multi-way socket or plug the subwoofer
directly into the wall socket. In the case of two-pin
plugs it may help to insert the plug into the socket the
other way up.
Playback is noisy. The Concept C 200 is a very low-
noise system. What often happens
is that the speaker system which
is excellent in the treble range
exposes the poor quality of a signal
source (e. g. from MP3 files).
Make sure that the signal being sent from the source
to the Concept C 200 is free from faults.
