Control elements of the subwoofer
Symbols
The lightning symbol with an
arrowhead in an equilateral tri-
angle indicates for the user that
there is a not isolated dangerous
electrical voltage within the
system housing so that there is a
risk of electric shocks.
The exclamation mark in an
equilateral triangle as it is
shown on the device is supposed
to draw user's attention to
important operation and service
instructions.
This product is conform to the
Directives of the Council of the
European Community 2004/108/
EC and 2006/95/EC.
The garbage bin symbol on the
rating plates or output stages
of our products implies that
Lautsprecher Teufel guarantees
disposal of these loudspeakers
and subwoofer according to regu-
lations, i.e. according to Electrical
and Electronic Equipment Act.
➊
Input
(High-level input)
Here you can connect
your mono RCA cable
(possibly with an ad-
ditional Y-adapter) of
the subwoofer output
("Subwoofer Out") of
your AV receiver or
amplifier.
➋
Output
(High-level output)
Here you can connect
further subwoofers
in order to increase
subwoofer level or
to equalise the room
resonance.
➌
Volume
(Level controller)
With the help of this
controller you can
regulate the volume
of the subwoofer. Set
the preliminary level
in the bass manage-
ment of your AV re-
ceiver or amplifier to
a high value between
+4 and +12 dB. Set
the level controller
of the subwoofer at
one fourth of the
control range. Turn
it slowly to set the
desired volume while
the noise generator
of the AV receiver is
working.
➍
Off–Auto–On (Switch-on automatic)
In OFF position the subwoofer is switched off, in
ON position it is switched on. If you set the switch
to AUTO, the subwoofer switches on automatically
if it gets a sound signal from the AV receiver. It is
switched off without a signal after 20 minutes. We
recommend the AUTO mode.
Please note: To disconnect the subwoofer com-
pletely from power supply you have to set the
switch to
➓
OFF.
➎
Low Pass – Full Range
(Low-pass filter - full range)
The implemented control options such as phase
➐
and frequency
➏
are active in the LOW PASS
position. The AV receiver or the amplifier takes
over control in the FULL RANGE position (recom-
mended).
➏
Frequency (diplexer)
Select the frequency at which the subwoofer
stops its rendering and the satellite loudspeakers
of the set start rendering. This controller is acti-
vated only if you set the switch
➎
to LOW PASS. We
recommend this constellation only if you use the
subwoofer from a source without a diplexer, e.g.
from a pre-amplifier output (Pre Out) of a stereo
amplifier. When using an AV receiver or amplifier
we recommend you to set the switch
➎
to FULL
RANGE. In this case the frequency controller is
not important.
➐
Phase
Set the phase of the subwoofer relatively to your
Front and Center loudspeakers. If the installation
site is located in the grey area of the drawing on
page 9, set the phase to 0°, otherwise to 180°. This
controller is activated only if you set the switch
➎
to LOW PASS.
➑
Fuse
Under the socket for the mains cable you can find
the mains fuse of the subwoofer.
➒
Mains voltage switch
This switch serves as an adapter for the subwoof-
er and the local power supply voltage. It is ABSO-
LUTELY necessary that the selected voltage value
matches the local one. In Germany for example
the position 220–240V is correct.
➓
Power (main switch)
In OFF position the subwoofer is switched off and
completely disconnected from the power supply, if
it is in ON position, it is switched on. Please also
observe the explanations regarding the switch
➍
.
Operational LED on the front side
If the power switch
➓
is in OFF position, the opera-
tional LED on the front side is not lit. If the sub-
woofer is switched on by the power switch
➓
, the
operational switch lights up red or blue, depend-
ing on the position of the OFF-AUTO-ON sliding
switch
➍
. If the subwoofer is switched on in con-
tinuous operation (switch
➍
at ON), the operation-
al LED lights up blue. If the subwoofer is in stand-
by mode (switch
➍
at AUTO), then the operational
LED lights up red at first. As soon as the subwoofer
gets the audio signal, it is switched on and the LED
lights up blue. If the subwoofer switches off after
20 minutes because it has not received any signal,
the LED lights up red. If the power function
➍
is
OFF, the LED lights up red.
This product complies with DIN
EN 61140 (VDE 0140-1) and IEC
60417 of protection class II. It
only requires a two-pin round
plug (included) and not an
earthed plug. The plug has a
reinforced or double-shielded
casing to prevent electrical
shock.
Attention:
The separating equipment of
this equipment is the mains
plug, this separating equipment
must be usable without
difficulties.
