Safety notes

Caution icons

You will ﬁnd the following caution icons in these instruc-

tions:

Danger High risk!

Failure to observe the warning may result in

severe personal injury or death.

Attention

Moderate risk!

Failure to observe the warning may result in

property damage.

Minor risk!

Points which should be observed when hand-

ling the unit.

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. control knobs or

plug adapters). They could swallow the parts and

choke.

Never allow children to operate electrical devices

unsupervised.

Danger Danger to hearing!

Loud noise may lead to hearing loss.

This may have psychological consequences

and also cause physical injury. Children and pets are

particularly at risk.

• Set your signal source unit volume control to a low

setting.

• When the volume is set high, always keep a certain

distance from the unit and never place your ear di-

rectly on the speaker.

• To avoid damage to health, avoid extended listening at

high volume.

Danger Danger of injury/damage!

Selecting an incorrect location may result in

damages.

• Never use the units unmounted in vehicles, in unstable

locations, on wobbly tripods or furniture, with attach-

ment ﬁxtures that are too small etc. The speakers could

tip or fall down and cause injury to persons or be

damaged.

• Arrange the speakers so that they cannot be knocked

over accidentally and make sure that the cables do not

pose a trip hazard.

• Ensure that any wall mounting is performed in a profes-

sional manner.

• Only use suitable wall brackets for mounting. Verify the

carrying capacity of the walls.

• Do not use the speakers if the housing or the connector

cables are defective or if they exhibit any other visible

damages.

• Only use the speakers indoors.

• Do not operate the speakers in moist areas and protect

them from drops of water or splash water.

Also take care not to stand vases or other containers of

liquid on or near the speaker in order to avoid liquid

getting into the case.

• Do not place the speakers near sources of heat (e.g.

heaters, ovens, other heat generating equipment such

as ampliﬁers etc.).

• VT 11 5

Unpacking and setup

Open the boxes carefully, take out the half shell EPE

packaging foam and carefully lift the speaker out of the

box without touching the diaphragms.

Connector cables

Due to differing customer requirements, your

speakers are shipped without connector

cables. You can ﬁnd suitable cables in our webshop

(www.teufelaudio.com) 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 speakers, instead

contact our service department (see page 3).

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!

The speakers should be situated to the left and right of

the listener and if possible, 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

be arranged slightly towards the listener.

Shelves and sideboards, for example, are ideal locations

for the speakers.

There should be approx. 10 cm of space between the

back of the speakers and the wall.

Removing the cover grill

You can remove the

cover grill from the

speakers by carefully

reaching behind the

cover grill and slowly

pulling it off to the front.

When reattaching the

grill, ensure that the in-

stallation pins slide into

the corresponding holes

on the speaker.

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.

Connecting the cables

Danger Danger of injury/damage!

Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a

trip hazard.

1. Turn off your ampliﬁer.

2. Lay the speaker cables from your ampliﬁer to each

speaker. These cables should be high-quality double-

wire speaker cable with marked strands.

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 in red (+) and black (-).

Make sure the polarity is correct!

Connect the same-colour terminals of your

speakers and ampliﬁer with each other. Oth-

erwise the sound quality will suffer. The individual single

wires of the speaker cables are marked with different

colours or shapes to facilitate the process.

3. Split the single wire on both ends up to approx. 30 mm

and remove approx. 10 mm of the insulation on each

single wire. Twist the stripped single wire ends together

so that no wire protrudes.

4. Push the grooved lever on the spring clip terminal and

insert the stripped end of the wire into the hole that

appears. Let go of the lever.

The speaker cable has now been clamped in place.

5. Connect the speaker cables to your ampliﬁer. The

operating instructions of the appliance should contain

notes on this.
