Introduction
The POWER HIFI speaker sound system is for music
enthusiasts with high standards, who prefer highquality audio playback of various styles of music like
jazz, big band and brass band, rock, gospel, soul,
techno, house, but also film music. The extended
dynamic range of the POWER HIFI speaker system
is both impressive and delightful in every listening
session since the musical content that is played back
sounds like you’re at a live concert.
POWER HIFI brings the crisp, high sound pressure,
which the ROCKSTER is known for, as well as the
extended dynamic range of audio playback to your
living room and similar environments.
The amplifier has its own 3-band sound control (bass,
approx. 100 Hz/middle bands approx 1 kHz/treble
bands, approx. 10 kHz), that can be used to adjust
the sound to perfectly suit the local acoustics.
The following inputs are available for your source
devices:
• Bluetooth
• USB sound card for PC and Mac
• AUX IN (stereo via RCA)
• LINE IN (stereo via XLR)
• OPT IN (stereo via Toslink e. g. the Teufel Streamer)

Setup
You can find comprehensive notes and tips for
correct setup on our website.
Setup location
CAUTION
The total system weighs 60 kg.
– Make sure that the floor has the required
load-bearing capacity.
– Only carry/transport the individual compo-
nents – never the entire system stacked
on top of one another.
NOTICE
Risk of damage! The isolation pads can
produce discolouration on sensitive
surfaces.
– On parquet, varnished wood and similar
surfaces, you should stick felt gliders to
the rubber feet of the speakers or put
blankets or small carpets under them. This
will prevent discolouration of the floor over
the long term.
• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free
from dust.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Select a location away from heat sources and
prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
• Always place the components on top of one another
in this order: Bass speaker on the bottom, then the
mid-range speaker and the high-range speaker with
the control unit on the top.
• Make sure that the feet of the top components are
positioned directly in the recesses in the underlying
housing.
• Lay the connector cords so that they do not pose a
tripping hazard.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the cables or the
speakers.
• Do not place open flames such as burning candles
or similar on the speakers.
• Do not place any containers with liquids such as
vases, beverages or similar on the speakers.
• Depending on the set-up location, it may make
sense to angle the speakers towards the listening
position. You should definitely try this to determine
whether it noticeably improves the sound.

1. Hold the plug with the cable up in front of the jack.
2. Turn the plug approx. 45° to the left so its pivots fit
into the jack.
3. Slide the plug all the way into the jack.
4. Turn the plug approx. 45° to the right until the
locking mechanism clicks into place. The cable is
now pointing up.
Disconnection:
1. Pull the chromed latch back and turn the plug
approx. 45° to the left.
2. Pull the plug out of the jack.
(25)(26)
Inputs for source devices
Analogue sources LINE IN, AUX IN
You can connect a source device with analogue sound
(e.g. a CD player, a mixing console or a TV set) to each
of the XLR jacks LINE IN (30) and the RCA jacks AUX
IN (31).
(29)(30)(31)
Digital source
You can connect the optical digital audio output of a
source device to the OPTICAL jack (29). You will need
an optical cable with a TOSLINK plug for this. Your
source device requires either an optical 3.5 mm plug
or also a TOSLINK plug.
In companion mode, the optimal input is intended for
applications in connection with professional sound
projection technology (see „Mode“ on page 16).
USB Sound Card
The POWER HIFI features an integrated USB
sound card for audio output from a PC. To do
so, connect the PC to the USB jack(19) via
a USB cable (USB A to Micro B). You can find
information about playback from the PC in
„USB Sound Card“ on page 23.
Via this USB jack, you can also load software
updates to your POWER HIFI (see „Software Update“
on page 25).
(19)
11 • POWER HIFI
Page 12
Output for companion mode
The analogue output LINE OUT (27) is
especially designed for companion mode:
The stereo channel, which this POWER HIFI
does not play back is relayed here.
You can connect a second POWER HIFI here
with the optional XLR connector cord (see
„Mode“ on page 16).
(27)
Mains connection
1. Insert the IEC power plug of the mains cord(5) into
the jack(24).
2. Insert the mains plug in a mains power socket
(220–240 V ~/50 Hz).
(24)

Operation
Activating and deactivating
– By pressing the Power button (11) or (46), you
switch the POWER HIFI on.
After switching the device on in master mode, the
last active audio source and volume will be set
(max. 25).
The power indicator (18) goes out, the LED (14)
for the active source will light up and the display
panel (12) will show the volume within a range from
0–100.
– By pressing the Power button(11) or
you switch the POWER HIFI to standby. The power
indicator(18) is illuminated in a dim red now.
– By pushing and holding the button
securely switch multiple POWER HIFI to standby.
This is particularly useful in master/companion
mode: Hold the button down and target the
POWER HIFI one after another. They will then switch
off.
Automatic activation/deactivation
You can enable automatic activation and deactivation
with the AUTO POWER switch (23):
OFF – automatic disabled
ON – automatic enabled
• If the POWER HIFI does not receive an audio
signal and if there is no operation for more than
20minutes, it will automatically switch to standby.
• As soon as a signal is detected on an audio source,
the POWER HIFI will also wake up and switch to the
detected audio source.
With the AUTO ON SENSITIVITY control (28), you can
adjust the sensitivity from which the activation function is to recognise an audio signal:
• LOW: The sensitivity is set to low. Thus, an input
signal is only considered at high input levels and
the POWER HIFI will wake up.
• HIGH: The sensitivity is set to high. Thus, an input
signal is already considered at low input levels and
the POWER HIFI will wake up.

• All other buttons and controls are inactive; when
operated, only the COMPANION LED (13) will blink
briefly.
After the entire system is connected and switched
on, each companion will display a pulsating plug sign
in front of the “+0” volume display. In so doing, the
companion indicates that its volume is set to the
safety level.
– On the companion, carefully turn the volume to
maximum (level of 100) with the VOLUME control (8).
This is the only way to correctly control the entire
volume from the master. Otherwise, the balance
between the left and right channel will not be correct.
After initial setting of the volume, the companion will
only display three dashes on the display panel.

CAUTION
Risk of injury/damage!
– Once the volume on the companion has
been set, a very high playback level can be
reached.
If a POWER HIFI is operated as a companion, you
can decrease the volume with respect to the source
with the VOLUME control (8). However, the maximum
volume is controlled on the source.
• The recently set volume on the companion will be
saved after approx. 30 seconds of operation and
restored after standby.
• When disconnected from the power supply or when
the MASTER/COMPANION switch (21) is operated,
the volume will be set to 25 for the purpose of

Example for a mono cascade
All inputs can be used on the master. Operation
occurs via the control panel or the remote control for

The MASTER/COMPANION switch is set to MASTER on
the master and to LINE on all companions.
The master is set to MONO with the CH MODE switch
and it passes the mixed stereo signal to the first
companion via the XLR cable. The position of these
switches will be ignored on all companions.
The master’s LINE OUT output is connected to the
first companion’s LINE IN L input via XLR cable. The
first companion’s LINE OUT output is connected to
the LINE IN L input of the next companion and so on.
This way, up to four companions can be connected in
a cascade.
Once the volume on the companions has been initially

Disposal
Important information in accordance
with the Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Act (Germany: ElektroG)
We advise owners of electrical and electronic appliances that old electrical and electronic devices must
be handed in separately from municipal waste, in
accordance with the applicable regulations. Batteries
and rechargeable batteries that are not firmly
enclosed in old electrical devices and lamps, and
that can be removed from the old device without
destroying them, must be separated from them in a
non-destructive manner before they are handed to
the collection point for their intended disposal. Please
take note of our information on the Batteries Act
[Germany: BattG] below for disposing of batteries.
You make an important contribution to returning,
recycling and further processing of old devices if you
separate your old devices into the correct collection
groups for recycling.
The symbol below of a crossed-out dustbin, applied to
electrical and electronic appliances, also advises of
the duty to separate collections:
Consumer electronics stores and supermarkets are
obliged, under certain conditions, to take back old
electrical and electronic devices, in accordance with
section 17 of the Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Act. Stationary retailers must take back an old electrical device of the same type when a new electrical
device is bought (1:1 return). This also applies to
home deliveries. These retailers must also take back
up to three small old electrical devices (≤ 25cm)
without this being linked to a new purchase (0:1
return).
In accordance with the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act, as online retailers of electrical devices and
due to our product range, our obligation is limited to
1:1 return of large devices of > 50 cm when selling a
new electrical or electronic device of the same type.
We comply with the obligation of return of devices
other than large devices through our service provider.
You can find the exact contact data and collection
points on our website
is also possible to return old electrical and electronic
appliances free of charge at an official delivery point
run by the public waste disposal authorities.
www.Teufel.de/entsorgung. It
Important: For safety reasons we ask that you refrain
from sending lighting fixtures (some lamps). For
return of lighting fixtures please use the public waste
disposal collection points or contact us directly at
www.Teufel.de/entsorgung.
As an end-user, you are responsible for deleting any
personal data on old electrical appliances before
handing it in.
Important: Our appliances can contain batteries/
rechargeable batteries. If this is the case, please refer
to its attached product documentation for additional
information on the type and chemical make-up of
the battery. For products with battery compartments
you can directly remove the batteries or rechargeable batteries and dispose of them properly. If the
batteries are built in to the product, do not in any
case attempt to remove the batteries yourself,
instead contact one of our employees or appropriate
specialist staff.
Important information about the
Batteries Act (Germany: BattG)
Batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be
disposed on in household waste.
Old batteries can contain toxic substances that could
damage the environment or your health if not stored
or disposed of properly. This applies especially to
improper handling of batteries containing lithium.
However, batteries also contain important raw materials such as iron, zinc, manganese and nickel and
these can be reused. Separate collection enables
recycling of these raw materials and avoids any negative impact on the environment or human health due
to toxic substances being released.
The crossed-out dustbin symbol means that you
should not dispose of old batteries and rechargeable
batteries in household waste. In addition, you, as the
end-user, are legally obliged to return old batteries.
You can hand in batteries and rechargeable batteries
free of charge at an official return point such as any
public waste disposal collection point. You can also
hand in old batteries, that we stock or have stocked
as new batteries, at one of our Teufel stores or at one
of our dispatch warehouses. However, if you send
them to our dispatch warehouses we would like to
point out the dangerous goods regulations of the
30 • POWER HIFI
Page 31
dispatch provider you opt for and ask you not send
batteries to us by post. You can get the addresses of
our dispatch warehouses from our customer service.
Due to existing legal regulations, the battery manufacturer must use the following symbols with the
following meanings when marking the batteries.
Hg: the battery contains more than 0.0005 mass
percent of mercury
Pb: the battery contains more than
0.004 mass percent of lead
Cd: the battery contains more than
0.002 mass percent of cadmium
Otherwise, to avoid waste and littering, batteries with
a long service life or rechargeable batteries should be
used. Exchangeable rechargeable batteries enable
long service for electrical and electronic appliances
and thus devices and rechargeable batteries can be
prepared for recycling (e.g. regenerating/exchanging
rechargeable batteries).
Further information on preventing waste for
consumers can, however, be found in the Federal
waste prevention programme with the participation of
the Federal states.
