Connecting
Danger
Danger of injury/damage!
Place the speakers in such a way that they
cannot be knocked over unseen and make sure
that the cables do not pose a trip hazard.
Connector cables
Due to differing customer requirements,
Definion 5 speakers are shipped without con-
nector cables. You can find suitable cables in our web-
shop (www.teufelaudio.com) in the “Accessories” area.
Connection variations
In addition to normal connection where each speaker
column is connected to the amplifier/AV receiver with a
cable, you can also select the variations “bi-wiring” or
“bi-amping”.
Normal connection
With this method, speakers are connected like conven-
tional speakers with one 2-strand speaker cable each.
The cable bridges between the connector terminals
may not be removed in the process; you can connect
the speaker cables accordingly to the upper or lower
terminals.
Bi-wiring
With bi-wiring, the speaker is connected with two sepa-
rated speaker cables for the medium/high range path
(upper connection pair) and the low range path (bottom
connection pair) to the power amplifier/AV receiver. De-
coupling between the high/medium and low range paths
may improve the sound depending on the quality of the
speaker cables used.
Bi-amping
Here, the low and the medium/high range paths are
supplied by an own power amplifier of the amplifier/AV
receiver each. Connect a speaker cable with two strands
to each power amplifier and connect this cable with the
upper or lower connector terminals of the speakers. Ad-
vantage: Improved performance and sound quality.
