Setup and connection

Setup location

• Preferably, the room, where you plan to use a

Concept C 200 , should not be larger than 25 sqm.

• 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 connecting cables so that they do not pose a trip hazard.

• Do not place any heavy objects on top of the cables or units.

Subwoofer

In general, you can position the subwoofer anywhere on the floor in the room. Positioning the subwoofer between the two front satellites is often beneficial. However, it is not absolutely necessary that it be situated between the satellite speakers as our ears are not capable of directly locating the source of bass tones.

There should be at least 30 cm of space in front of the bass speaker 2 and the reflex opening 3 as considerable air movement is produced around these openings at higher volumes.

Satellite speakers

For the best possible sound quality, you should

• set up the left and right speaker at equal distances from your preferred sitting position;

• set up the speakers at ear level;

• position the speakers on a shelf so that their front panel is flush with the front edge of the shelf;

• do not cover the speakers with fabrics or objects.

You can set up the satellite speakers using the stands included in the product contents or mount them directly on the wall.

Table stand assembly

Insert the screw d through the top hole of the table stand c and turn the screw into the threaded bushing 11 on the back of the speaker. Do not over tighten the screw. The connectors of the speaker cord are now covered by the table stand

– to connect them later on, loosen the screw somewhat and turn the table stand to the side.

d c

Wall mounting

You will need the following materials for wall mounting:

• one screw for each speaker, 4 x 40 mm

(screw head = ø 9 mm)

• for rock walls, one dowel for each speaker (ø 5 mm)

Danger Danger of damage and electric shock!

Proceed with care when mounting the unit on the wall and follow the instructions below.

• The speakers may only be mounted on the wall by properly qualified persons.

• The unit may only be mounted on a suitable, solid wall.

If mounting on plasterboard walls special dowels or fixings may be required. Seek the advice of an expert.

• Ensure that no cords or pipes are located at the desired mounting point. Before drilling and tightening the screws, check the applicable areas with a metal detector.

Drive the screw into the wall and hang the speaker with the mounting hole 10 on the screw.

Connecting the satellites

To connect the satellite speakers, use high-quality, two-core speaker cable with a diameter of at least 1.5 mm 2 and if possible, a banana plug for the subwoofer.

You can order them both as a set in our webshop

(www.teufelaudio.com) in the “Accessories” area.

12 12

The connector terminals 7 “SPEAKER OUT” for the right

(“Right ”) and left (“Left ”) speakers are located on the back of the subwoofer.

The connector terminals 12 are located on the back of the satellite speakers.

The terminals are marked in red (+) and black (-) respectively.

Observe the correct polarity!

Connect the like-coloured terminals with one another. Otherwise, the sound quality will suffer. The cores of the speaker cable are marked with different colours or shapes.

8 • Concept C 200

Split the cables down to approximately 30 mm on both ends and strip approximately 10 mm of insulation on the respective cores. Twist the cables so that no cores are protruding.

Push down the lever for the connector terminal 12 on the satellites and insert the stripped cable end into the opening below the respective connector terminal. The cable is clamped in place when the lever is released.

If you use banana plugs, screw the cord into place on the plug (see instructions for the banana plug) and insert the plug into the jack of the connector terminal 7 on the subwoofer.

If you don’t use any banana plugs, turn the connector terminal 7 counterclockwise. Insert the stripped cable end into the hole that is now visible. Turn the terminal clockwise. This will clamp the cable in place.

spare

Subwoofer buzzes.

Playback is noisy.

The input signal is too low

The buzzing is caused by problems with the power supply.

The buzzing is caused by a multiway socket.

The Concept C 200 is a very lownoise 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 files).

Disconnect the power cord.

Carefully pull the fuse holder out of the mains connection.

Push the old fuse out.

Insert a new fuse (3.15 AL delayed action) and push the holder back.

Increase the volume at the source device.

Purchase a line filter and connect it to the device.

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 up.

Make sure that the signal being sent from the source to the Concept C 200 is free from faults.
