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 returns 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 first speaking to Lautsprecher Teufel. We can only process or accept your returns if you give us prior notification by telephone and discuss how to proceed!
Proper use
Only use the speakers as described in these instructions. Any other use will be deemed as not in accordance with the instructions and may lead to damage to property or even persons. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by use not in accordance with the instructions. The speakers are intended for private use.
Before using the speakers for the first time please first read the safety notes and operating instruc-
tions carefully. This is the only way to use all functions safely and reliably. Keep the operating instructions safe and pass them on to anyone who may own the unit after you.
Warranty conditions
12 year warranty for loudspeakers 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 loudspeakers, amplifiers and electronics purchased from Teufel by an end user for private use.

• ers, ovens, other heat generating equipment such as amplifiers etc.)
Danger of injury/damage!
Incorrect location may result in damage.
Never use the unit unsecured in a vehicle, on an unstable surface, on wobbly stands or furniture, with undersized wall fixings etc. The speakers could fall down or fall over and be damaged or cause injury. Place the speakers in such a way that they cannot be knocked over unseen and make sure that the cables do not pose a trip hazard. If mounting the speakers on the wall, make sure that the job is carried out by a professional. Use only suitable wall fixings. Ensure that the walls are sound and capable of carrying the load. Do not use the speakers if the housing or the connector cables are defective or if they exhibit any other visible damages. Only use the unit in indoor areas. Do not use the appliance in damp rooms and protect it from water drops and splashes. Ensure that no vases or other vessels filled with liquid are placed on or near the appliace to prevent the housing from being penetrated by liquid.
Danger

Unpacking and setup
Open the boxes with care, remove the styrofoam parts and carefully lift the column speakers out of the box.
Connector cables
Due to differing customer requirements, the
Ultima 60 series is shipped without connector cables. You can find suitable cables in our webshop (www.teufel.eu) in the “Accessories” area.
Check to be sure
•
Check that all items have been delivered and that noth­ing is damaged.
•
If the delivery is incomplete or you find damage sus­tained in transit, do not operate the unit but contact our service department (see page 3).
Location tips
•
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 the cables or the speakers.
The following information concerns an “ideal listening room”, where the listener sits in a central position at an adequate distance in front of the speakers (see the adjacent graphic) and there are no objects between the listener and speakers (tables or the like). Unfortunately, available space, furnishing or other circumstances may not always allow for an optimum arrangement.

Right speaker
Removing the protective grids
You can remove the protective grids from the column speakers by carefully reaching behind the protective grid and slowly pulling it off to the front.
When reattaching the grids, ensure that the installation pins slide into the corresponding holes on the column speaker.
Modern amplifiers offer a variety of possibilities for electronically compensating losses associated with the arrangement. The following generally applies: You can always experiment on what works best in your listening room in terms of sound and appearance based on our recommendations. Let your ears (and eyes) be the judge!
The speakers should be situated to the left and right of the listener and if possible, 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 straight into the room or be arranged slightly towards the listener.

Connecting
Danger
Danger of injury/damage!
Remember: Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a trip hazard.
Connection variations
In addition to a standard connection, where every speak-
er column is connected to the amplifier with a cable, you
can also choose the variants “bi-wiring” or “bi-amping”.
Standard connection
With this connection, the Ultima 60 speakers are
connected like conventional speakers with one 2-core
speaker cable each. The contact bridges between the
connector terminators may not be removed in the proc-
ess; you can connect the cables accordingly to the top or
bottom terminals.
Bi-wiring
For this, the high and mid range speakers are connected
with one cable and the two low range speakers are con-
nected with a second cable. This allows you to reduce
distortion with very long cables.
Bi-amping
For this, the high/mid range and low range speakers
have their own amplifiers.
Connecting the cables
1.
Turn off your amplifier.
2.
Lay the speaker cables from your amplifier to each speaker. These cables should be high-quality double­core speaker cable with marked strands. The diameter should amount to at least 4 mm2.
Observe the correct polarity!
Connect the like coloured terminals with one
another. Otherwise the sound quality will suf­fer. The speaker connectors of your amplifier should be marked similarly. The strands of the speaker cables are marked with different colours or forms.
5.
You only have to remove the con­tact bridges when using bi-wiring or bi-amping: Turn the connector terminals counterclockwise until loose and then pull the contact bridges out to the side. The top terminals lead to the high range and mid range speakers, the bottom terminals lead to the low range speakers.
6.
Split the cable down to approxi­mately 30 mm on both ends and strip off approximate­ly 10 mm of insulation on each of them. Twist the cable together so that no strands are protruding.
7.
Turn the connector terminal counterclockwise until loose. Run the stripped cable into the hole that is now visible. Turn the terminal clockwise until closed. The cable has now been clamped in place.
8.
Connect all cables to the column speakers this way.
9.
Connect the speaker cables to your amplifier. The operating instructions of the appliance should contain notes on this.
3.
A connector terminal with four terminal clips is located on the back of the speakers. You can connect the speaker cables using banana plugs or directly here. We only describe the direct connection here.
4.
The terminals are each marked red (+) and black (-).

Care and cleaning
Clean the column speakers regularly with a soft, damp microfibre cloth. Ensure that no liquid penetrates the speakers.
Protecting the environment
Disposal of the unit
Old appliances may not be disposed of in the household waste!
Should the appliance no longer be capable of being used, then every consumer is required by law to dispose of old appliances separately
Attention
•
In no circumstances should caustic cleaning products,
• white spirit, thinners, petrol or similar be used for clean­ing.
from their household waste e. g. at a local authority collection point. This ensures that old appliances are recycled in a professional manner and that negative consequences for the environment are prevented. For this reason, electrical appliances are marked with the shown symbol.
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 prod­ucts. In case of stubborn marks a mild soap solution may be used.
