Preparations

Setup

To be able to integrate Teufel
Streaming products with Raumfeld
technology in your network and
to ensure smooth operation, we
recommend an up-to-date, high
performance router with a broadband
Internet connection.

Make sure that the Wi-Fi router is
active, has the latest firmware and is
able to access the Internet.

To the extent possible, the router
should be positioned in the middle
of your home in order to ensure an
adequate Wi-Fi signal throughout
your home.

• The perfect spot for the Soundbar
is in a central position under the
TV. Optionally, the Soundbar can be
mounted on the wall.

• Wall mounting:

1. Perform set up before wall

mounting (see page 10).

2. Remove the support foot of the

Soundbar.

3. Securely mount the wall bracket

(3) on the wall.

4. Securely screw the Soundbar

together with the wall bracket.

• To the extent possible, you should
set up the subwoofer

in front of your
sitting area close to the soundbar.
Generally, you can also set it up at
any other location in the room as
the human ear is unable to localise
low tones. Setup in the corner of
a room is not suitable as this may
result in uncontrollable frequency
rises.

Please note that obstacles
such as walls and ceilings
may affect signal transmis­sion.

Subwoofer

Wireless Remote Control

Once you have connected your
subwoofer to the mains supply, set
the toggle switch on the back (37) to
“ON”.

The soundbar will now automatically
connect to the subwoofer.

If the connection is interrupted
at some point, please proceed as
follows:

1. Hold the pairing button (41)
(subwoofer back side) down until
the status LED (40) blinks quickly.

2. Now tap the Sub Pairing button
(13) on the back of the soundbar.
As soon as the subwoofer LED
lights up continuously, the connec­tion has been established.

Alternatively, the subwoofer can be
connected to the soundbar using
a mono RCA cable (see chapter

The remote control must be
connected to the Soundbar during
initial installation.

1. Pull out the plastic strip on the
bottom of the remote control.

2. Now hold the remote control in a
central position directly in front of
the Soundbar.

3. Hold the buttons a and d on the
remote control down at the same
time until the LED (24) blinks three
times. If instead the LED blinks ten
times in a row, repeat the process.

Operation

Sound settings

Your Soundbar has 4 different sound
settings, which have been tuned
by our acoustic technicians here in
Berlin using wave field technology.
Wave field technology makes it
possible to strategically control 6
drivers in the soundbar and the 3
drivers in the subwoofer creating very
broad spatial playback effects.

With audio playback (via ARC, OPT or
AUX), you can conveniently configure
the desired sound pattern with the
remote control buttons a to d:

Button a: Stereo mode

The acoustics resemble the sound
of a classic stereo system. Select
this mode to generate a pure stereo
experience.

Button b: Arena mode

Panorama sound with an extra wide
effect is achieved through lateral
signal output.

Button c: Theatre mode

The theatre mode creates a stage
with a wide effect and clear speech
playback at the same time.

Button d: Voice mode

The frequency ranges for speech
playback are increased in this mode.
The side drivers are only used to a
limited degree to expand the sound
stage.

Preset buttons

In streamining mode (streaming via
LAN/Wi-Fi), the buttons a to d act
as programmable preset buttons.
They allow you to access your
favourite radio station, a playlist or
any other music with just the push of
a button.

Programming preset buttons

1. Make sure that the Soundbar is
operational.

2. Use the Teufel Raumfeld app to
play any music on your Soundbar
(e.g. a radio station, an album, a
playlist or all tracks of an artist).

3. As soon as the music is played
back, push a preset button and
hold it until you hear a signal tone.
The music that is played back is
now saved for this preset button.

Accessing saved content

• Tap the preset button to access
saved music with just the push of
a button and to play it back on the
Soundbar.

13 • Soundbar

Subwoofer settings

Setting the crossover frequency:

• The crossover frequency deter­mines up to which frequency
signals are to be passed on to the
subwoofer.

• In practice, the crossover
frequency functions as follows: If
a high crossover frequency is set
(120 Hz or 140 Hz) , powerful bass
will be played. If it is set to a low
value (100 Hz or 80 Hz), emphasis
will be placed on the sound pattern
of the soundbar.

Setting the subwoofer volume:

• In case of a wireless connection,
with the app.

• In the case of a cable connection,
with the “Sensitivity” control (33).

Phase:

• With the “Phase” switch (35), you
can shift the subwoofer phase by
180°. Depending on setup loca­tion, this can lead to improved
sound.

High-Pass:

The high pass filter only lets through
frequencies above the set value. If
e.g. the control is set to 50Hz, only
frequencies above 50 Hz are played
back. In order for the bass to be
played back with as little filtration as
possible, we recommend setting the
high pass control to 20 Hz.

The following advice should help you to solve problems. If this does not work, our
online documentation will provide help:

http://manual.teufelaudio.com

Problem Possible cause/solution

The power
LED (39) of the
subwoofer does
not illuminate.

Make sure that power is supplied. Check to make sure that
the mains cord is securely seated. Check whether the mains
switch (44) on the back side is switched on.

The subwoofer fuse is defective. To replace the fuse:

1. Remove the mains cord.

2. Carefully pull the fuse holder on the mains
connector jack out.

3. Push the old fuse down and out. Insert a new
fuse (T 2.5 AL / 250 V).

4. Push the holder back.

Setup fails.

Restart your router and your smartphone or tablet.

Set up the device near your router and switch any repeaters
off for the duration of the setup process. If your router
provides guest access, do not use it to connect your Teufel
streaming devices.

Read the notes in our online documentation at:

http://manual.teufelaudio.com/setup.

The app is not
connected or
fails to locate
the configured
streaming
devices.

Make sure that the Teufel streaming devices and the smart
device are operated with the Teufel Raumfeld App on the
same Wi-Fi. Restart your router. Briefly disconnect your Teufel
streaming devices from the power supply and then start them
again.

Troubleshooting

195479_GB_20170619.indd 14 20.06.17 09:44

15 • Soundbar

The soundbar
does not emit
any sound in TV
mode or play­back stutters.

If you are operating the soundbar with a TV via the digital
output (HDMI ARC or OPT), you have to set the output mode
to “PCM” in the TV settings for the selected TV output.

You can find more information in our online documentation:

http://manual.teufelaudio.com/soundbar.

Music playback
skips or is inter­rupted.

It is possible that one or more Teufel device(s) do not have a
Wi-Fi signal or it is too weak.

Place the devices closer to the router, try alternative setup
locations or connect devices, which are set up far away, with
an Ethernet cable.

As a test, refrain from using repeaters. If applicable, use an
audio stream with low resolution.

Also visit the website of the router manufacturer for tips on
how to improve your Wi-Fi.

You can find more information in our online documentation:

http://manual.teufelaudio.com.

I would like
to reset the
Soundbar.

Notice: By resetting the device, all system configuration
settings will also be reset.

Resetting the device: When the device is switched on, use
a paper clip that has been bent straight to push the reset
button (18) and hold it down until the device restarts (for at
least 8 seconds).
