For Your Safety

Proper use

The speakers are designed for the

playback of audio signals that are

transmitted by an external amplifier

via a speaker cable.

Only use the speakers as described

in this user manual. Any other use

will be deemed as not in accordance

with the instructions and may lead to

damage of property or even persons.

The manufacturer accepts no liability

for damage caused by improper use.

The speakers are intended for

domestic use.

Explanation of terms

You will encounter the following

signal terms in this user manual:

WARNING

This signal term indicates a

moderate risk, which, if not

avoided, may result in death

or severe injury.

CAUTION

This signal term indicates a

low risk, which, if not avoided,

may result in minor or

moderate injury.

NOTICE

This signal term warns you of

potential damage.

Safety notes

This chapter contains general safety

notes which you should always

observe to protect yourself and third

parties. Also observe the warning

notes in each chapter of this user

manual.

An unsuitable setup location may

result in injury and damage.

–If the speakers are not securely

mounted, do not use them in

vehicles, in unstable locations,

on wobbly tripods or furniture, on

underdimensioned brackets etc.

The speakers may tip or fall over

and cause injury to persons or be

damaged themselves.

–Place the speakers in such a way

that they cannot be knocked down

inadvertently and make sure that

the cables do not pose a tripping

hazard.

–Do not place the speakers near

heat sources (e.g. heaters, ovens,

other heat generating equipment

such as amplifiers etc.).

Children can become trapped in

the plastic wrapping when playing

and suffocate.

–Do not allow children to play with

the device or the plastic wrapping.

There is a danger of suffocation.

–Ensure that children do not remove

small parts from the unit or take

5• Ultima 20

them off of the unit (e.g. control

knobs or plug adapters). They

could swallow the parts and choke.

Extended listening at high volumes

may lead to hearing loss.

To avoid damage to health, avoid

extended listening at high volumes.

–When the volume is set high,

always keep a certain distance and

never hold your ears directly on the

speaker.

–If an amplifier is set to full volume,

this may produce very high sound

pressure. This may have psycho-

logical consequences and also

cause physical injury. Children and

pets are particularly at risk. Set the

volume control of your amplifier to

a low setting before you turn it on.

This product contains magnetic

material.

–If necessary, consult your physician

and ask for effects on implants

such as pacemakers or defibrilla-

tors.

If the speakers are subjected to

warm temperatures after being

cold – (e.g. after transport),

condensation may occur inside of

them.

–In this case, wait at least 2 hours

before you connect and activate

the speakers.

Improper handling of the speakers

may result in damage or fire.

–Do not place open flames such as

burning candles or similar on the

speakers.

–Ensure sufficient ventilation.

–Do not expose the speakers to

direct sunlight.

–Only use the speakers in indoor

areas.

–Do not use the speakers in wet

rooms and protect them against

dripping or spraying water. Make

sure that no vases or other liquid-

filled objects are located on or

near the speakers in order to

prevent liquid from penetrating the

housing.

If the amplifier is underdimen-

sioned, the amplifier may end up in

clipping operation at high volumes,

which could destroy the tweeters.

–Only connect your speakers to

amplifiers, which suit the output of

your speakers.

An overdimensioned amplifier can

destroy the bass speakers due to

excessive volume.

–If the music playback sounds

distorted, reduce the volume.

6• Ultima 20

Unpacking

• Carefully open the boxes, take out

the EPE foam parts and carefully

lift the speakers out of the box

without touching the diaphragms.

Due to differing customer

requirements, the Ultima20

speakers are shipped without

speaker cables. You can find

suitable cables in our webshop

(www.teufelaudio.com) in the

“Accessories” area.

NOTICE

–Check that all items have been

delivered and that nothing is

damaged. If you find any damage,

do not operate the device; instead

contact our customer service

department.

Location tips

– Select a stable, level base.

– Make sure that the environment is

clean and free from dust.

– Select a location away from heat

sources and direct sunlight.

– Lay the connector cords so that

they do not pose a tripping hazard.

– Do not place any heavy objects on

the cables or the speakers.

Unpacking and Setup

Positioning the speakers

The following data concern an

“ideal listening room”, in which the

listener sits in a central position at

a sufficient distance in front of the

speakers (see the graphic) and no

objects (tables or the like) are located

in between. Unfortunately, the room,

furnishings or other circumstances

do not always allow for optimum

arrangement.

Modern amplifiers offer a variety

of possibilities for electronically

compensating losses associated

with the arrangement. The following

general rule applies: You can always

experiment on what works best in

your listening room in terms of sound

and appearance based on our recom-

mendations. Let your ears (and eyes)

decide!

7• Ultima 20

Use as rear speakers

Rear Rear

The rear speakers are set up or hung

to the side of or behind the listener at

a height of 1.20 m to 2.10 m (see the

grey areas in the graphic).

The ideal position is offset by approx.

20 degrees from the parallel position

to the listener on the left and right

side . It is generally recommended

that the distance of the rear speakers

to the hearer’s place exceeds one

metre. However, if you (need to) sit

closer, please ensure that the front

sides of the speakers is not directly

facing you. Rather, the speakers must

be angled towards the wall .

Alternatively, you can create a greater

distance by placing the speakers

higher than 1.20 m (e.g. also on the

ceiling) or further away .

Use as front speakers

Stereo

triangle

left speaker right speaker

The speakers should be situated

to the left and right of the listener

and if possible, form an equilat-

eral triangle with the listener – the

so-called stereo triangle (distance

from the listener = distance between

the speakers). The speakers should

project sound straight into the room

or be arranged slightly towards the

listener.

For example, shelves or sideboards

are very well suited as a setup loca-

tion for the speakers.

8• Ultima 20

Wall mounting

Wall mounting is also possible. For

this purpose appropriate holders

are available in our webshop (www.

teufelaudio.com) in the “Accessories”

area. They are mounted using the M6

threaded hole located in the speaker

base.

It also serves to fix corresponding

speaker stands, which you can also

purchase in our webshop.

Connecting

CAUTION

Risk of tripping!

–Lay the cables so that

they do not pose a tripping

hazard.

1. Switch your AV receiver or multi-

channel active subwoofer off.

2. Lay one speaker cable from your

AV receiver or multi-channel active

subwoofer to each speaker. Use a

high-quality double wire speaker

cable with marked strands for this.

The cross-section should amount

to at least 1.5 .

A connector terminal with two termi-

nals is located on the back of each

speaker; the speaker cable must be

attached to them.

The terminals are each marked red

(+) and black (-).

9• Ultima 20

NOTICE

Make sure the polarity is

correct!

–Connect each of the like

coloured terminals of your

speakers and your amplifier

with one another; other-

wise the sound quality will

suffer. To facilitate this, the

individual single wires of the

speaker cables are marked

with different colours or

shapes.

3. Split the single wire down by

approx. 30 mm on both ends and

remove approx. 10 mm of insula-

tion each.

4. Twist the stripped wire ends so

that no strands are protruding. Tin

coating is not necessary.

5. Turn the connector terminal coun-

terclockwise until loose. Run the

stripped cable end into the now

visible hole. Close the connector

terminal by turning them clockwise.

The cable has now been clamped

in place.

6. Connect the speaker cable to your

AV receiver or multi-channel active

subwoofer. You should be able to

find corresponding notes in the

user manual of your device.

Removing the protective

grids

You can take the protective grids off

of the speakers by carefully reaching

behind the protective grids and slowly

pulling them off to the front.

By removing the protective grid,

especially high frequencies will sound

clearer.

When putting the protective grids on,

please make sure that the installa-

tion pins slide directly into the corre-

sponding jacks on the speaker.

10 • Ultima 20

Care and Cleaning

The veneered surfaces of our

speakers have a protective surface

coat so they no wood polish is neces-

sary.

NOTICE

External influences may

damage or destroy the device.

–If possible, only use plain

water without any additives.

In case of stubborn marks,

a mild soap solution may be

used.

–Do not use caustic cleaning

products, white spirit,

thinners, petrol or similar

under any circumstances.

Such cleaning agents may

damage the delicate surface

of the housing.

• Ideally, you should remove dust or

small amounts of dirt with a dry,

smooth leather cloth.

• Rub off stubborn dirt with a damp

cloth. Make sure that no liquid

penetrates the speakers.

• Then immediately wipe the

surfaces dry with a soft cloth

without applying pressure.
