Setup
Location tips
The room where you intend to use the Theater 80
should be up to 30 m
2
in size.
Choose a stable, level base.
Make sure that the area is clean and free from dust.
Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in
direct sunlight.
Arrange the connecting cables so that they do not
pose a trip hazard.
Do not place any heavy objects on top of the cables
or units.
You can purchase mounting materials specially designed
for these speakers (cords, speaker stands, wall mounts
and resonance dampers) in our webshop (www.teufel.eu)
in the “Accessories” area.
The following specifications relate to the “ideal home
theatre”, where the viewer and/or listener sits in a central
position at a sufficient distance in front of the television
(see adjacent graphic) and no objects (tables or the like)
are situated in between. Unfortunately, the room, furnish-
ings or partner do not always allow for such optimal
setup.
Modern AV receivers offer a variety of possibilities for
compensating for any losses associated with the setup. In
general, the following rule applies: Based on our recom-
mendations, you can always experiment as to what works
best acoustically and optically in your home. Let your
ears (and eyes) decide!
Centre
Use one of the satellites
a
as a
centre speaker. The space directly
under your television is an ideal
location. If you would like to set up
the satellite in a horizontal position
b
, you can replace the grille with a
suitable one included in the product
contents. You can carefully remove
the grilles and then mount them later
on.
Front
Two of the satellites
a
are set up as front speakers to the
left and right of the television and at a height of approxi-
mately 40 to 120 cm. They should be in line with the
centre speaker and, together with the listener, form an
equilateral triangle as far as possible. This is the so-called
stereo triangle (distance from the listener = distance be-
tween the loudspeakers). The loudspeakers should project
the sound directly into the room or slightly towards the
listener.

Subwoofer
You should also place the subwoofer on the floor close to
the television. The placement between the front speakers
is ideal for that. There should be at least 30 cm of space
in front of the subwoofer
on the right side
and the
equalisation opening
on the front
as considerable air
movement is produced around these openings at higher
volumes.
The enclosed rubber feet should be affixed to all four
corners on the bottom of the subwoofer in order to avoid
interference associated with vibrations. In a flat, you
should be particularly sure to use the resonance dampers
so you don’t have any trouble with your neighbours!
Rear
The two remaining satellites
a
are set up as rear speak-
ers beside the listener and at his head level. At a distance
of at least 100 cm to the listener, the speakers should
be positioned directly towards the listener or a slightly
diagonal position to the front (towards the television) is
also beneficial.
