4.1 פּלייסמאַנט

The Teufel Concept 8 Subwoofer is designed with a downfire driver, meaning the woofer faces downwards. For optimal performance, place the subwoofer on a solid, level floor surface. Avoid placing it directly against walls or in corners, as this can lead to exaggerated or boomy bass. Experiment with different positions in your room to find the best sound balance.
