What the icons mean

The lightning/arrow symbol 

inside an equilateral triangle

informs the user

about the possibility

of a dangerous, non-isolated

electrical current 

inside the device housing,

indicating the risk of

electrical shock.

The exclamation mark within

the equilateral triangle,

which can be seen on the

back of the unit, indicates

that there is important  

operating and service  

information for the  

user to read.

This product complies with the

following European Union

guidelines:

2004/108/EC and 2006/95/EC.

The “wastebin” symbol printed 

on the type plates and amplifier 

labels of our products signifies 

that Lautsprecher Teufel ensures 

the proper disposal of its sold 

loudspeakers and subwoofers 

according to Germany's Electrical 

and Electronic Equipment Act.

* Power LED 

When  the  subwoofer's  mains  power  switch 

➓ 

is off, the power LED is off. When the subwoofer's 
mains power switch 

➓ 

is on, the power LED lights 

up  and  indicates  the  position  of  the  Power 
Function  switch 

.  When  the  subwoofer  is 

permanently  active (=  Power  Function 

 “ON”), 

the  power  LED  is  blue.  When  the  subwoofer  is 
in  standby  mode (Power  Function 

 “AUTO”,  the 

power  LED  only  lights  up  once  the  subwoofer 
activates  itself.  The  LED  is  off  again  after  the 
subwoofer switches itself off after 20 minutes of 
inactivity. When the Power Function switch 

 is 

on “OFF”, the LED is always off.

Power Function (top)

Switch  to “ON”  to  power  up  the  subwoofer;  switch  to 
“OFF” to power it down. AUTO means that the subwoofer 
is operational but is only activated once it receives an 
audio signal. In “AUTO” mode, the subwoofer automatically 
switches to standby after 20 minutes of inactivity.

 

Phase 

This switch determines the phase relationship between 
the  subwoofer  and  the  front/centre  speakers.  If  the 
subwoofer is positioned in the room as indicated on p. 7 
(grey area of drawing), set the phase to “0°”. With other 
setups, the “180°” setting may produce better results. 

 

Level

Use the “LEVEL” control to adjust the subwoofer's 
volume. In the receiver's bass management sec-
tion, set the bass level to a high value, i.e., between 
+4 and +10 dB. Next, set the subwoofer's level 
control to 10 o'clock. While the AV receiver is out-
putting its white noise setup signal, slowly turn 
up the subwoofer level to the desired volume. 

 

Frequency

Use  this  control  to  set  the  crossover  frequency 
between  the  subwoofer's  bass  signal  and  the 
bass frequencies of the other speakers. If you are 
using an AV surround receiver, set the receiver's 
crossover frequency to 150 Hz and turn the subwoof-
er's frequency control to maximum (hard right).

 

Line Input 

Connect  the  AV  receiver's  “Sub  Out”  to  the 
subwoofer's  “Line  input”  using  a  mono  RCA  cable 
(optionally with a Y adapter).

 

Line Output 

Here, you can connect a second subwoofer for added 
bass or to compensate for resonant frequencies in 
the room. 

 

&

  

High Level In/Out

Use  these  speaker  sockets  to  connect  the  subwoofer 
to a conventional stereo amplifier without a dedicated 
subwoofer output. Do not connect anything here if you 
are using a multi-channel AV receiver with a Sub Out. 

 

Power cable & Fuse

Connect an appropriate power cable here. 
If  the  fuse  is  supposed  to  be  defective  you  can 
change it here for an equivalent one with the help 
of  a  screwdriver.  Only  change  the  fuse  while  the 
Subwoofer is disconnected from the mains power.

➓ 

Power 

Switch to “ON” to power up the subwoofer; switch to 
“OFF” to power it down.
