Installation of the 5.1 configuration
General Notes on Installation
Due to its unobtrusive design it is easy to inte-
grate Teufel Motiv 10 set into your living room.
However, especially for home theatres you should
observe some criteria for installation to achieve
the optimum sound of the Teufel loudspeaker
set.
For home theatre systems it is recommended to
concentrate on the actually used area, i.e. room
(area) where the TV and the seats are located.
It can be helpful to position the display or the
screen in the center relative to the position of
the listener.
The installation instructions given (on the fol-
lowing pages) represent the optimal solution for
perfect multi-channel sound in your house. The
space, partner or furnishing do not always allow
such an optimal positioning. Try to conform with
the guidelines as much as possible. Modern AV
receivers offer various possibilities to compen-
sate electronically any concessions made during
installation. In general the rule is:
You can always test on the basis of our recommen-
dations what works acoustically and optically best
for your space. Let your ears (and eyes) decide!
Center loudspeakers
Since the Center renders dialogues of actors,
this loudspeaker must be placed opposite to the
central listening position as close to the cen-
tre as possible under the screen or over it. We
recommend to bend MO 10 FCR slightly towards or
away from the listener if it has been placed at a
height of less than 40 cm or more than 1.20 m.
Front loudspeaker
The front loudspeakers are set up according to
the old tradition for stereo (distance to the lis-
tener = distance between the left and the right
box) near the screen at the same distance on
the left and right side or fastened on the wall.
The use of optional stands M 10 P provides auto-
matically an optimal height of the satellite boxes.
When placing on the wall or shelf it is essential
to choose the placement height between 40 cm
and 1.20 m.
It is important that the Center and Front
loudspeakers are placed approximately in the
same straight line or in a circular arc slightly
curved towards the screen. The homogeneity of
sound can be otherwise distorted due to run-
time differences.

Subwoofer
The subwoofer location can be chosen arbitrarily
and does not influence other loudspeakers if the
recommended crossover frequency of 120 Hz is
observed. The ideal position for the subwoofer
is on a straight line between the two front sat-
ellites* . But you can also try out any other place
in the room. It is preferable when the front part
of the subwoofer (with the front grid) can radi-
ate freely in the direction of the room and is not
directed towards the wall (if however this is the
case: Minimum distance from the wall: 0.50 m).
* Tip
2/3
To achieve good bass rendering
it has been proven helpful to
place the subwoofer in a 1/3 to
2/3 proportion, thus, not exactly
in the middle of the front or
Front
side wall but closer to one of
the walls.
We recommend
to place the
subwoofer in the the grey
area.
