General notes on speaker placement

Thanks to its unobtrusive design, the Teufel

System 4 loudspeaker set will easily blend into

your living room. In order to get the best possible

audio quality from your Teufel system, however,

there are a number of speaker placement rules to

consider; these apply particularly to home the-

atre use.

As a general guideline, any home theatre system

should be concentrated around the viewing area,

i.e., that part of the room that contains the TV/

screen and the main seating spots. If at all pos-

sible, the TV/screen should be placed centrally in

relation to the viewing/listening spots.

Our speaker placement suggestions, shown over

the next pages, are designed for the best possible

multi-channel sound reproduction in your home.

In the reality of your living room, of course, there

may be factors working against the suggested

placements. While our recommendations repre-

sent the audio purist's optimum layout, modern

AV receivers also offer a number of options to

electronically compensate for compromises in

speaker placement. Always remember:

Our recommendations are not the be-all-and-

end-all but a starting point. Ultimately, you will

know best what works in your room, both visually

and sonically. Trust your eyes – and your ears!

Centre

The centre speaker reproduces virtually all

spoken sound, including most dialogue. In rela-

tion to the main listening spot, place it cen-

trally under or above the TV/screen. If you need

to position the centre speaker (M 450 FCR)

lower than 40 cm or higher than 1.20 m, angle it

horizontally towards the listening spot.

Front

The front speakers should be positioned the

same way as any conventional stereo speakers

– forming an equilateral triangle with the lis-

tener. In a home theatre setup, the left and right

front speakers should be equidistant to the TV/

screen, mounted on the wall or on speaker stands.

The Teufel M 450 FCR satellite speakers can be

mounted using Teufel's Multilock or L-Lock angle

bracket. The speaker cabinet has an M6 packing

screw in its base to fasten the cabinet to a wall

mount. This packing screw is also used to fasten

the speaker to the speaker stand. The recom-

mended speaker stand model for this set is the

M 620 P. Speaker stands ensure that the satellite

speakers are placed at the best possible height. If

you mount the speakers on the wall or on a book-

shelf, make sure the speaker height is between 40

cm and 1.20 m. If these recommended values are

not practical in your listening environment and

you need to position the speakers higher or lower,

you should angle them towards the listening spot.

Teufel's Multilock wall mounts are designed for

just this purpose.

Finally, make sure that the centre speaker and the

two front speakers are positioned in a straight

line, or on a slight arc with the TV/screen. If the

distances between you and the speakers vary

significantly, this will degrade the audio signal's

spatial imaging.

Make sure to align your speakers properly so they

sound as good as possible.

Subwoofer

At the recommended crossover frequency of

100 Hz, the subwoofer can be positioned in the

room very flexibly without affecting the output

from the other loudspeakers. The ideal position is

somewhere along the axis between the two front

speakers, but you should feel free to experiment

with placing it anywhere you like. Simply make

sure that the front of the subwoofer (with the

speaker grille) can radiate freely towards the

centre of the room, i.e., it is not pointed directly

at a wall. If this cannot be avoided, make sure the

subwoofer is at least 0.50 m away from the wall.

We recommend

you place the subwoofer

somewhere in the

grey front area.
