Teufel Power Edition Concept E Magnum Technical Specifications And Operating Instructions page 14

The following illustrations
clarify the steps for configur-
ing a sound card (here, using
a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS)
with the Concept E Magnum.
For perfect equalisation
of the speakers we recom-
mend using a volume level
measuring device, as available
in the Teufel shop. This device
is a purchase that will last a
lifetime and allows considerably
more precise equalisation than
the ear. Bass levels in particular
are often set too loud – exact
adjustment is only guaranteed
using a measuring device.

The Concept E Magnum itself does not have
a built-in decoder function. Therefore it is
"dependent" on the allocation of the external
decoders when splitting the signals.
Start-up the "surround mixer" and call up the
speaker settings. The connected speaker con-
figuration must be selected in the speaker selec-
tion under speaker/headphone selection, in this
case a "5.1 speaker" .
We can now fine tune the system using the "THX
setting console" . Using the speaker test, we can
control the individual channels and check that
the settings are correct.
This decoder is a component of the sound card
software.
Set the correct allocation so that all satellites
and the subwoofer are included and therefore
also controlled.
In the next step, activate the bass redirection in
bass management. The transfer frequency can
be set using the sliding control (described here
as frequency shut-off ). Select the optimum set-
ting of 120Hz.
During calibration, the speakers can now be set
directly, taking into consideration the settings
and the space available. For each speaker, set
the correct distance to the reception area and
the angle to the reception area. The volume
level must then be equalised over all channels
consecutively so that all speakers play at the
same volume.
