Developed in Berlin

The Theater 500 is your perfect partner for all kinds of music, movies, and games. There's no buzzing from overloaded bass or squeaky piercing highs here.

Time Alignment
Time-correcting phase shift for more precise positioning of vocals and instruments in the soundstage.

Constant Directivity Concept
 Our newly designed waveguide and phase plug ensure broad and smooth sound dispersion.

Damping chamber

 The specially designed sound-damping chamber takes advantage of the Helmholtz Resonance Principle to make your audio sound exactly right. This effectively eliminates the formation of standing waves and undesirable resonances within the cabinet.

Down-firing bass reflex system

The down-firing bass reflex system makes it possible to place these speakers near a wall without affecting the overall dynamics.

3-way system

The Theater 500's sophisticated 3-way system is a true luxury in this price range. Its two woofers are equipped with heavy-duty Kevlar cones that produce bass so deep you won't even need a subwoofer. The midrange driver and tweeter reproduce vocals and instruments so faithfully you'll feel like they're in the room with you. We then perfected the Theater 500's design with Klippel laser measuring to detect the slightest inaccuracies in the diaphragm's vibration curve and smooth them out.

Innovative damping chamber

Inside the Theater 500, a specially designed damping chamber employs the concept of Helmholtz Resonance to minimize standing waves in the cabinet. This makes it unnecessary to damp the bass reflex port, allowing the low end to go deeper and work more efficiently. The result is an especially balanced soundstage across all volume levels.

Down-firing bass reflex system

The Theater 500 utilizes a down-firing bass reflex system, allowing it to be placed amywhere in the room. Its special oversized port prevents turbulence at high volume levels.

Center with dual squawkers

The flat, compact T 500 C 16 center speaker offers impressively powerful playback. Use the integrated keyhole brackets to wall mount the speaker directly under your flatscreen for perfect home theater sound.

The T 500 C 16 can also fit easily on a shelf. The included base plate can be removed for wall mounting.
Acoustically, the center offers exceptional performance thanks to:

  • Linear frequency response for crisp, intelligible dialogue
  • High performance drivers for minimal distortion even at high volumes

Teufel Time Alignment Technology

Unique back-firing tweeters correct time delay using phase shift, providing crisp playback of all channels. Vocals, instruments, and sound effects alike are reproduced in full detail for distinct apparent locations in the soundstage. Hear exactly where something is happening.

Constant Directivity Concept

Newly designed wave guide and phase plug give the system a broad and even sound dispersion. This makes it possible for everyone in the room to enjoy perfectly intelligible speech and true-to-life stereo no matter where they're sitting.

2-way system

Our engineers here in Berlin constructed the Theater 500s specially to have a cutoff frequency outside the range used by the human voice or any typical instruments to produce an incredibly authentic sound. Then, we optimized the Theater 500S using Klippel laser measurement to detect even the slightest inaccuracies in the diaphragm's vibration curve and smooth them out.

Noise reduction

We kept frequency crossover very simple to counteract any possible phase shifts. This results in an incredibly balanced soundstage. At the same time the mid/bass driver can put out booming bass at hair-raising volumes thanks to its heavy-duty construction. In fact, the Theater 500s is one of the bassiest bookshelf speakers on the market.

Refined bass power

The S 6000 SW is an advanced model universal subwoofer from Teufel: engineered in Berlin. Overview of highlights:

  • Front-firing for refined sound production
  • 300 mm chassis for cut-off frequencies down to 25 Hz
  • Nearly double sized bass reflex port for less distortion at extreme frequencies
  • Extremely low-noise and efficient power amplifier for clearer levels and less power consumption
  • Wireless connection available with SubConnect MOD for compatible devices (i.e. ULTIMA 40 Active), or optional Subwoofer Wireless Transmitter
  • Automatic on/off
  • A wealth of configuration options (volume control, phase switch, auto dynamics and HP (high-pass) filter)
