Technical Specifications and Operating Manual 5.2 speaker placement
Rear/side speaker placement option A
Cinema Set
Ideally, the S 500 D dipole speakers should be
mounted to the sides of the listening spot at a
height of 1.40 - 2.10 m. The Teufel dipole speakers
ship with a simple integrated wall mount. In this
placement option, the rear dipole speakers radi-
ate forwards (towards the TV/screen) and back-
wards (towards the rear wall of the room). This
way, listeners only hear reflections from the wall
and not the direct sound. The rear-radiating side
of the dipole speaker should be at least 10 cm
away from the rear wall of the room.
Rear/side placement option B Cinema Set
You can also wall-mount the dipole speakers be-
hind the listening spot, at a height of 1.40 - 2.10 m.
We recommend using our L-Lock wall bracket to
mount the S 500 D speaker cabinets so that they
can be set to a 45 degree angle and radiate from
the front towards the side wall and from the back
towards the rear wall. Thus, the dipoles reflect
out the rear and side walls and produce the de-
sired spatial diffusion. The front side of the dipole
speakers should be at least 10 cm away from the
side walls of the room.
Rear placement option C Concert Set
To set up the concert set with five direct-radiat-
ing S 500 FCR satellites, place the rear boxes at
the left and right of the listening position. Ideally,
they should be at the same height, e.g., on a shelf
or, even better, on a wall. If you need to mount the
speakers significantly higher or lower, experiment
with angling them towards the listening spot. The
S 500 FCR rear speakers should be positioned at
least 1.00 m away from the listener. If they are
any closer to the listening spot, make sure that
the front of the speakers is not directly pointed
at the listener but into the room, angled towards
the TV/screen.
