The subwoofer is not working
If the Power LED or display of the subwoofer does
not light up, replace the fuse with a fuse of equal
rating.
If the Power LED lights up, set the subwoofer vol-
ume level to “Min.”, unplug the subwoofer cinch cable
from the amplifier, turn up the volume slightly and
touch the tip of the cinch connector with your fin-
ger. If this produces a hum or crackle, the fault is
with the amplifier or the amplifier settings. If the
subwoofer remains completely silent, please con-
tact our support team.
The subwoofer is making a humming noise
Hum may be caused by any connected audio de-
vice as well as by problems with the mains power. In
most cases, excessive hum is caused by one of the
following:
1.
The subwoofer is connected to a different electri-
cal circuit than the other components. Make sure
that all connected devices (including any comput-
ers) are powered from the same electrical circuit,
i.e., the same mains socket.
2.
The antenna connected to the audio system or TV
has a different ground potential to the antenna
socket. To test this, simply disconnect all the an-
tenna cables from the wall socket. If this makes
the hum disappear, you will need a ground break-
er (available from most electronics stores). Simply
insert the ground breaker between the antenna
socket and the TV/receiver.
3.
A line filter (to be purchased separately) can also
be useful for hum removal. Note that you will
need to connect all your electrical devices to the
line filter. Make sure you can return the line filter
for a refund if it does not produce the desired
results.
4.
Some types of power multiboxes are also known
to produce hum. Try eliminating your multibox
and plug the subwoofer's power cable directly
into the mains socket.
5.
If possible: Unplug the mains cable, rotate the con-
nector plug by 180°, and plug it back into the mains
socket.
6.
If you have trouble locating the source of the hum,
check whether the subwoofer is less noisy when
you plug it into the mains connection in another
room (e.g., using an extension cable). Also, try dis-
connecting the subwoofer's cinch cable from the
receiver to see whether the hum is caused by one
of the other connected components.
Cleaning
Please take note of the following guidelines to
protect the components and maintain the finish
of your Teufel loudspeakers:
Avoid placing the speaker cabinets in direct sun-
light. Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations
and protect your loudspeakers against humidity.
When cleaning the speaker cabinets, only use dry
or moist cloths. Never use abrasive or alcohol-
based cleaning products. If you need to clean a
speaker membrane, do so very carefully using a
dry cloth.
