Setting up the 5 .1 configuration

General information on arranging the speakers
It's easy to integrate the Columa 700 harmoni-
ously into your living room thanks to its clear de-
sign and slimline shape. However, there are some
configuration rules for home cinema systems
that need to be observed in order to produce the
ideal sound from the Teufel speaker set.
For home cinema systems, we recommend con-
centrating on the area actually used – i.e. the
(part of the) room where the TV/screen and seats
are located. The TV/screen should be positioned
as centrally as possible to the listening location.
The recommended set-up (on the following pages)
represents the best possible arrangement for
perfect multichannel playback at home. Your
available space, your partner or your furniture
may not always allow you to arrange the speakers
in the ideal manner. Try to meet as many requi-
rements as possible. Small variations are not a
problem. Modern AV receivers offer numerous
options for compensating electronically for any
compromises in the set up. Generally speaking,
the following rule always applies: You can always
use our recommendations to experiment with
what works best acoustically and optically. Let
your ears (and eyes) decide!

Centre
Since the centre plays back all voice information,
including the actors' dialogue, the centre speaker
must be opposite the central listening position,
located as centrally as possible above or below
the TV/screen so that the sound and image make
up a harmonious unit.
To achieve this, the centre can be set up on the
cradle supplied.
Front
The front speakers (column speakers CL 70 FR) are
placed at equal distances to the right and left of
the TV in old stereo fashion (distance to listener
= distance between the left and right speaker).
If the column speakers have to be placed further
out, you can easily turn them inwards and towards
the listening location.
Thanks to their magnetic screening the two front
speakers can even be used near a traditional ca-
thode ray TV.
It is important that the centre and front spea-
kers are positioned in an approximate line, or
possibly even on a slight arc to the TV. Otherwise
possible run-time differences can affect the ho-
mogeneity of the playback. Setting the speakers
up in this way allows them to deliver their full
sound potential.

Tip:
The sound from the column
speakers benefits from being
near a wall.
