Warranty conditions
2 year warranty for amplifi ers and electronics from date of purchase. Covers materials and workmanship, excludes damage caused by improper use or electrical or mechanical overload. Proof of warranty is the original of our invoice. This warranty applies solely to electronics purchased from Teufel by an end user for private use. The warranty is not valid for loudspeakers, amplifi ers and
electronics, which pass to an end user via a third party merchant. In the case of a private re-sale of Teufel prod­ucts the warranty may be transferred to the purchaser as long as the original proof of purchase is also passed on to the purchaser.
Returns
Teufel provides the right to exchange or return within eight weeks with refund of the purchase price paid. Return of individual components sold as a package is only possible if these components are also sold individu­ally by Lautsprecher Teufel. In the case of the return of one or more individual components the package price reduction offered by Lautsprecher Teufel on all com­ponents in a package no longer applies. The amount refunded to the customer for the components returned will therefore only be the difference between the package price and the purchase price of the individual parts. The economic result for the customer is that it is as if he/she had originally bought the remaining components at their individual prices.
Further information on the subject of returns may be found on the back of the return form enclosed with the order or online in the support area of our website www.teufel.eu
If you need to return your goods please do not act with­out fi rst speaking to Lautsprecher Teufel. We can only process or accept your returns if you give us prior notifi cation by telephone and discuss how to proceed!

Setup and connection
Setup location
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 top of the cables or • the unit.
5.1 output
Connect your amplifi er input to the RCA jacks 10 “5.1 Out”. You will need a 6 channel RCA cable set for this. You can fi nd these cables in the “Accessories” area of our webshop at www.teufel.eu. Connect the output jacks with the corresponding inputs on the amplifi er and/or 5.1 ac­tive subwoofer (see corresponding operating instructions):
Front L/R – front channels left/right Rear L/R – rear channels left/right Center – center channel Sub – subwoofer
5.1 RCA input Aux 1
Connect your PC soundcard or another 5.1 audio source to the jacks 11 “Aux 1 in”. You will also need a 6 channel RCA cable set for this.
2.0 RCA inputs Aux 2 and 3
You can connect almost any stereo audio source to the RCA jacks 12 “Aux 2 In” and 13 “Aux 3 In”, that is MP3 players (with/without a dock), video game systems, televisions etc. The source only needs one output with a line control. These outputs are either confi gured as stereo
RCA jacks or as 3.5 mm mini jack. With a corresponding connector cable, you can connect these devices to the RCA jacks 12 “Aux 2 In” or 13 “Aux 3 In”.
Microphone connection
You can connect a microphone (e. g. from a headset) to the jack 4 “Mic”. This mono sound input is emitted via the mini jack 17 “Mic Out” on the back of the subwoofer. Connect this jack with the microphone input of your PC. You will need a connector cable with two mini jacks for this.
The microphone input is also active when the ControlSta­tion 2 is in standby mode.
Headphones
You can connect stereo headphones to the jack 5 “Phones” – the speakers are automatically deactivated when plugging in headphones.
Connecting to a power supply
Insert the small wall adapter plug in the jack • 14 “12V DC”. Insert the wall adapter into a power supply socket.•

Selecting a source
After turning the unit on, the last audio source is selected.
You can switch the source with the button • 2 “Source” and/or the buttons 19 “Aux 1”, “Aux 2”, and “Aux 3”. The selected source is shown on the display panel 5.
Pure mode
The stereo signal of the sources Aux 2 and Aux 3 In is normally converted to a 5.1 signal (“Upmix”). With the button 7 “Pure” you can turn this conversion on or off. Only the front channels right and left as well as the sub­woofer channel are active in pure mode. The correspond­ing source is shown on the display panel as “P2” and/or “P3” instead of “A2” and/or “A3”.
5.0 mode
If your source device does not provide a subwoofer chan­nel, you can switch from 5.1 mode to 5.0 mode with the switch 16 “Sub”. Then the signal from the front channels right and left will be mixed to the subwoofer channel.
Boosting the subwoofer
With this function, you can correct the drop-off of the signal level at the subwoofer output, which occurs for sev­eral 5.1 sources if the setting “Small” has been selected for the satellites in bass management. Slide the switch 15 “Sub” to the “+10dB” setting in order to increase the volume of the subwoofer channel of the AUX 1 input by approximately 10dB. The signal will be issued to the subwoofer without any adjustment when the switch is set to “0dB”.
Display field
You can adjust the brightness of the display panel from bright to dark using the button 20 “Dimmer”.

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 No sound. The connection to the source device or
amplifi er has been cut off.
Check the connections (see page 7).
Volume is set to “0”. Increase the volume. Power supply is cut off. Check the wall adapter and connector cable
(see page 7).
The speakers buzz. The buzzing is caused by problems with
the power supply.
Buy a line fi lter and then connect the device to it.
The buzzing is caused by a multi-way socket.
Use another multi-way socket or plug the subwoofer directly into the wall socket. In the case of two-pin plugs it may help to insert the plug into the socket the other way around.
Playback is noisy. The ControlStation 2 is a very low-noise
system. What often happens is that the speaker system which is excellent in the treble range exposes the poor quality of a signal source (e. g. from MP3 fi les).
Make sure that the signal being sent from the source to the ControlStation 2 is free from faults.
Care and cleaning
Clean your ControlStation 2 regularly with a soft, slightly damp microfi bre cloth. Please note the following care­fully:
Attention
Risk of damage!
In contact with live parts, water can lead to
electric shock or short circuit. Ensure that no liquid penetrates the unit.• Pull the wall adapter out of the socket before cleaning.•
Attention
Risk of damage!
Using the wrong cleaning materials may dam-
age the delicate surface of the case. If possible use only plain water with no cleaning prod-• ucts. In case of stubborn marks, a mild soap solution may be used. In no circumstances should caustic cleaning products, • white spirit, thinners, petrol or similar be used for cleaning.
