Rear/side speaker placement option A Cinema Set
The M 950 D dipole speakers should ideally be
mounted to the sides of the listening spot, at a
height of 1.40–2.10 m. The Teufel dipole speakers
ship with a simple integrated wall mount. With this
placement option, the dipole rear speakers radiate
towards the TV/screen out the front (front panel
with Teufel logo) and towards the rear wall out the
back of the speaker cabinet. The distance between
the rear-radiating side of the dipole speaker and the
room's rear wall should be at least 30 cm. A larger
distance achieves better diffusion.
Rear speaker placement option B Cinema Set
You can also place the dipole speakers behind the
listening spot, at a height of 1.40–2.10 m. We rec-
ommend mounting the M 950 D loudspeakers at an
angle of 45 degrees, which means they can radiate
towards the side wall out the loudspeaker front and
towards the rear wall out the back. If the rear side
channels are reflected off both the side and rear
walls, this will create the desired spatial diffusion.
Note that the front sides of the dipole speakers
should be at least 10 cm removed from the room's
side walls.
Rear/side speaker placement option C
Concert Set
Position the direct-radiating rear speakers of the
Concert Set to the left and right of the listening
spot, ideally at the same height as the front spea-
kers – e.g., on a shelf, or even better, on speaker
stands. Higher speaker placement is fine, but avoid
placing the rear speakers down low. The rear spea-
kers should be positioned at least 1.00 m away from
the listener. You can also achieve a larger distance
by increasing the height of the speakers.
A fourth placement option for
the rear speakers is described
on page 11. ≥
