LT 2
General information on configuration
It is easy to integrate the Teufel LT 2 harmonious-
ly into your living room thanks to its clear design
lines and slimline shape. However, there are some
configuration rules for home-cinema systems
that need to be observed in order to produce the
ideal sound from the Teufel speaker set.
For home-cinema systems, we recommend con-
centrating on the area really used – i.e. the room
(area) where the TV/screen and seats are actually
located. The TV/screen should be positioned as
centrally as possible to the listening location.
The recommended set-up (on the following
pages), represents the best possible arrange-
ment for perfect multichannel playback at home.
Your available space, your partner or furniture
may not always permit such ideal placement. Try
to meet as many requirements as possible. Small
variations are not a problem. Modern AV receivers
offer numerous options for compensating elec-
tronically for any compromises in the set up. Ge-
nerally speaking, the following rule always applies:
You can always use our recommendations to ex-
periment with what works best acoustically and
optically. Let your ears (and eyes) decide!
Setting up the 5.1 configuration
Centre
As the centre plays back all voice information, in-
cluding the actors’ dialogues, the centre speaker
satellite FCR must be as central as possible to the
listening position or located above the TV/screen
so that the sound and image make up a harmo-
nious unit.
For this the centre can be set up on the cradle
supplied or fixed directly to the wall using the ap-
propriate screws/rawlplugs.
Front
Using the old stereo tradition (distance to li-
stener = distance between the left and right
speaker), the front speakers are set up next to
the TV/screen at the same distance to left and
right (column speaker L 220 FR) or fixed to the
wall (satellite L 220 FCR). If the column speakers
have to be placed further out, you can easily turn
them inwards and towards the listening location.
Thanks to their magnetic screening the two front
speakers can even be used near a traditional ca-
thode ray TV.
The following applies if the satellite FCR speakers
are placed on the wall or shelves: Select a set-up
height of between 40 centimetres and 1.20 me-
tres (lower edge). It is important that the centre
and front speakers are approximately in a line, or
possibly even on a slight arc to the TV. Otherwise
the homogeneity of the playback may vary with
run time differences. Setting the speakers up in
this way allows them to deliver their full sound
potential.
Tip:
The sound from the column
speakers benefits from being
near a wall.
