Setup
Setup tips
Select a stable, level base and/or a suitable wall.•
Make sure that the environment is clean and free of •
dust.
Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in •
direct sunlight.
Do not place any heavy objects on the cables or the •
speakers.
Center speakers
Place the center speaker in a central position under or •
next to the screen.
Front speakers
The front speakers are set up to the right and left of the •
screen or hung at a height of approx. 80 cm to 160 cm.
They should be in line with the center speaker and •
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 directly into the •
room or slightly towards the listener.
Rear speakers
The rear speakers are set up or wall mounted to the •
side (a) or behind (b) the listener at a height of 1.20 m
to 2.10 m.
The distance to the listener should amount to at least •
100 cm.
Subwoofer
The position of the subwoofer can be selected as de-•
sired and does not affect the other speakers. An ideal
position is often between the front speakers.

Wall mounting
Danger
Risk of damage!
Incorrect location may result in damage.
Ensure that any wall mounting is performed in a profes-•
sional manner.
Only use suitable wall brackets for mounting. Check •
the carrying capacity of the walls.
You can mount the satellite speakers on a wall using •
the brackets on the back of the speakers or you can
screw them on a support foot.
You can purchase installation materials (cables, •
support feet, wall brackets and resonance dampers) especially for these speakers in our webshop
(www.teufelaudio.com) in the “Accessories” area.
You can set up the center speaker or mount it on a wall •
using its frame.
Connection and settings
Danger
Danger of injury/damage!
Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a
trip hazard.
Satellite speakers
Pull the mains plug of your AV receiver out of the •
socket.
Lay the speaker cables from your AV receiver to each •
of the speakers. This cable should be a high-quality
double-wire speaker cable with marked strands. The
cross-section should amount to at least 1.5 mm
2
.
A connector terminal with two terminal clips is located •
on the back of each speaker. You optionally can
connect the speaker cables using pin plugs. Here we
describe the direct connection without using pin plugs.
The terminals are each marked red (+) and black (–).•
Make sure the polarity is correct!
Always connect terminals with the same colour
with each other. Otherwise the sound quality
will suffer. The wires of the speaker cables are marked
with different colours or shapes.

Split the single wires on both ends for approximately 1.
30 mm and remove 10 mm of the insulation on each
wire.
Twist the copper core so that no strands are protruding.2.

Run the stripped cable into the hole that is now visible. 4.
Turn the terminal clockwise. The cable is now clamped
in place.
Connect all speaker cables this way.5.
Connect the speaker cables to your AV receiver. The 6.
operating instructions of the appliance should contain
notes on this.
Subwoofer
Connect the subwoofer as described in the correspond-•
ing operating instructions.
Crossover frequency
The optimal crossover frequency for the Columa 100 •
system amounts to 150 Hz. Set your AV amplifi er to
this value to the extent possible.
Troubleshooting
The following instructions should help you to solve problems. If this doesn’t work, please contact our hotline (see page 3).
Mind the warranty instructions.
Problem Possible cause Solution
Playback is noisy. Generally speaking, the system is very low-
noise. In the high range area, very goodquality high-resolution speaker systems can
expose the poor quality of a signal source
(e.g. from MP3 fi les).
The sound seems dull. The speakers have been connected with
the wrong poles.
Ensure that the source is sending a clean
signal.
Make sure the speaker cables of all satellites
are connected properly.

Care and cleaning
Clean your speakers regularly with a soft, damp microfi ber cloth. In the process, be absolutely sure to observe
the following notes:
If possible use only plain water with no cleaning prod-•
ucts. In case of stubborn marks, a mild soap solution
may be used.
Protecting the environment
Disposing of the unit

Adjust the subwoofer volume with the volume control • 6
“Volume”.
Phase
With the switch • 1 “Phase”, you activate and deactivate
