General information on configuration
Because of its compact size and pleasantly
unobtrusive design, it's easy to integrate the
Teufel system harmoniously into your home. For
surround sets there are some set-up criteria you
need to observe, in order to get the best sound
from your Teufel speakers.
The set-up instructions that we recommend on
the following pages show the ideal set-up for
perfect multichannel reproduction in your home.
Your available space, your partner or furniture
may not always permit such ideal placement. Try
to meet as many requirements as possible. Mod-
ern AV receivers and DVD players or the sound-
card software of a PC offer lots of opportunities
to electronically compensate for any restrictions
in the set-up. Generally speaking, the following
rule always applies: You can always use our rec-
ommendations to experiment with what works
best acoustically and optically. Let your ears (and
eyes) decide!

Setting up the Concept E Magnum
Power Edition as PC system:
When using the Concept E Magnum as a PC sound
system, it is advisable to focus on the sound
requirements of the PC workplace, i.e. the area
where the screen and receivers are located.
Because the centre reproduces actors' dialogue,
this speaker must be positioned as centrally
as possible under/over/next to/on top of the
monitor and inclined or angled towards the
listener. The front speaker is attached next to
the monitor at the same distance from it or the
reception area left and right or attached to the
wall. Attachment at ear height is optimal, but
anything in the range between 0.80 and 1.60
metres is acceptable. If the values are outside of
the recommended range, you can slightly tilt the
front speaker.
The location of the subwoofer is freely selectable
and does not affect the other speakers.
Placement within a straight line between the two
front satellites is often ideal.
The rear speakers should be placed behind the
reception area to reflect the front speakers –
ideally at the same level.
