Speaker for bass playback, with integrated amplifier. Very deep

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

er. To make sure that the front speakers can be 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 compo-

nents used but is usually between 50 and 120 Hertz.

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 (around 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 - 5.1

All Teufel speaker systems that are supplied with three direct

front speakers and dipole effect speakers are also called a Cin-

ema Set. In contrast, five direct speakers are called Concert

Sets.

Cinema Set 5.1

All Teufel speaker systems with five direct satellites are called

Concert Sets. In contrast, Cinema Sets have three direct front

speakers and a dipole rear speaker.

Dipole

Dipole speakers emit sound in two directions. They are there-

fore ideal rear speakers for your home cinema because their

emission characteristics imitate the speaker arrangement in

a commercial cinema. Cinemas always use multiple speakers for

the rear channels and their sound is distributed throughout

the whole room. Dipoles have been designed to emit sound indi-

rectly 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 used generally to play back the three front channels; in

Concert Sets they are also located to the rear.

Electronic switching to divide up the digital multichannel sig-

nals from the DVD into as many as seven individual signals.

Dolby Digital and DTS are two different sound formats, so two

different decoders are also required. AV receivers, DVD players

or corresponding sound cards usually have both decoders.

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 equally loudly 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 incorrectly, the bass may be weakened or cancelled. If the

subwoofer is located between the front speakers we recom-

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

subwoofer is in another location, the “180°” setting can balance

out the reduced bass playback. Set the phase controller appro-

priately to get the strongest bass playback.

Rear speaker

Effects and atmospheric sounds are played back via the rear

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

greater spatial feel when playing back films and music.

Sub out

Output on the receiver/amplifier to connect an active subwoof-

er using a mono-cinch cable.



Pre-amplifier output on the receiver or output on the DVD play-

er. One analogue signal is provided for each channel via cinch

connection.

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 beneficial 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 amplifiers and connections is

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