Glossary

Active subwoofer

Speaker for bass playback, with integrated amplier. Very deep

frequencies can only be played back with a large-volume speak-

er. To make sure that the front speakers are kept as compact as

possible, a separate subwoofer is used for bass tones. It can be

located unobtrusively in the living room: for instance, behind

the sofa or under a side table. The cut-off frequency between

the front speakers and the subwoofer depends on the utilised

components but is usually between 50 and 120 Hertz.

Auto On/Off function

The Auto On/Off function switches the subwoofer on as soon as

a signal is detected and off again a certain time after the last

signal was transferred (ca. 20 minutes).

Centre

Central speaker in the home cinema system. All dialogues are

played back via the centre. Therefore, good voice playback capa-

bility is essential for the centre.

Cinema Set

All Teufel speaker systems that are supplied with three direct

emitting front speakers and dipole effect speakers are also

called a Cinema Set. In contrast, ve direct emitting speakers

are called Concert Sets.

Concert Set

All Teufel speaker systems with ve direct emitting satellites

are called Concert Sets. In contrast, Cinema Sets have three di-

rect emitting front speakers and a dipole rear speaker.

Dipole

Dipole speakers emit sound in two directions. Therefore, they

are ideal as rear speakers for home cinema because their emis-

sion characteristics reect the speaker arrangement found in

commercial cinemas. Cinemas always use multiple speakers for

the rear channels and their sound is distributed throughout the

theatre. Dipoles have been designed to emit sound indirectly

into the room (i.e. not locatable), which is different from direct

emitters (see below).

Direct emitters

Direct emitters are conventional speakers that transport sound

to the listener in a direct line. In the home cinema, direct emit-

ters are generally used to play back the three front channels; in

Concert Sets they are also located to the rear.

Dolby Digital/DTS Decoder

Electronic switching to divide the digital multi-channel signals

from the DVD into as many as seven individual signals.

Dolby Digital and DTS are two different sound formats, thus

requiring two different decoders. AV receivers, DVD players or

corresponding sound cards usually have both decoders.

Frequency/cut-off frequency

This is where you stipulate the frequency used for playing back

sounds from the satellites or subwoofer. If, for example, you set

a cut-off frequency of 120 Hz, all frequencies above 120 Hz are

emitted by the satellites, frequencies under 120 Hz are played

by the subwoofer.

Level

The level controller on the subwoofer is used to adjust the vol-

ume. For perfect playback, all speaker channels – incl. the sub-

woofer – should be set such that the signals from the individual

speakers can be heard at equal volume at the listening location.

Phase

With the phase controller, you can adjust the subwoofer to the

satellites such that the speaker membranes vibrate in the same

direction in the cut-off frequency range. If the phase is set in-

correctly, the bass may be weakened or cancelled. If the sub-

woofer is located between the front speakers, we recommend

0° and 180° for a position close to the listening location. If the

subwoofer is in another location, the 180° setting can equalise

the reduced bass playback. Set the phase controller appropri-

ately to get the strongest bass playback.

Rear speaker

Effects and atmospheric sounds are played back via the rear

speakers (either ĕ dipoles or ĕ direct emitters). This gives a

greater spatial feel when playing back lms and music.

Sub out

Output on the receiver/amplier to connect an active subwoof-

er using a mono-cinch cable.

5.1/7.1 pre out

Pre-amplier output on the receiver or output on the DVD player.

One analogue signal is provided for each channel via cinch con-

nection.

6.1/7.1 technology

Surround sound procedure that, in addition to the left and right

rear channel (and the relevant speakers), also uses a centrally

played back rear channel. Depending on the sound format, this

“rear centre” is embedded in the stereo signals for the left and

right rear channel (“matrixed”) and extracted for playback (e.g.

for THX® Surround EX, Dolby Digital EX) or transferred as an

independent signal. Instead of the dominant 5.1 technology,

these are therefore 6.1 sound formats. In practice, it has proven

to be benecial for the sound to allow the rear centre to be

played back by two centrally located rear speakers. AV technol-

ogy equipped with the necessary ampliers and connections is

therefore called “7.1” even though it only plays back a 6.1 signal.

Please contact our service department if you have any questions, suggestions or if

there is anything you think we could do better.
