Unpacking and setup
Open the boxes carefully, take out the half shell EPE
packaging foam and carefully lift the speaker out of the
box without touching the diaphragms.
Connector cable
Due to differing customer requirements, the
Ultima 40 series is shipped without connec-
tor cables. You can fi nd suitable cables in our webshop
(www.teufelaudio.com) in the “Accessories” area.
Check to be sure
• Check that all items have been delivered and that noth-
ing is damaged.
• If the delivery is incomplete or you fi nd damage sus-
tained in transit, do not operate the speakers, instead
contact our service department (see page 3).
Location tips
• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free from
dust.
• Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in
direct sunlight.
• Arrange the connector cables so that they do not pose
a trip hazard.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the cables or the
speakers.
The following information concerns an “ideal listening
room”, where the listener sits in a central position at
an adequate distance in front of the speakers (see the
adjacent graphic) and there are no objects between the
listener and speakers (tables or the like). Unfortunately,
available space, furnishing or other circumstances may
not always allow for an optimum arrangement.
Modern amplifi ers offer a variety of possibilities for
electronically compensating losses associated with the
arrangement. The following generally applies: You can
always experiment on what works best in your listening
room in terms of sound and appearance based on our
recommendations. Let your ears (and eyes) be the judge!
The speakers should be situated to the left and right of
the listener and if possible, form an equilateral triangle
with the listener – the so-called stereo triangle (distance
from the listener = distance between the speakers). The
speakers should project sound straight into the room or
be arranged slightly towards the listener.

Removing the protective grids
You can remove the protective grids from the speakers by
carefully reaching behind the protective grid and slowly
pulling it off to the front.
When reattaching the grids, ensure that the installation
pins slide into the corresponding holes on the speaker.
