Especially booming subwoofers are often associated with the German manufacturer, but through the startup Raumfeld, which was integrated in 2008, they have also added a section with high-end soundbars to their range, that also impress with their high quality standards.

Teufel’s more compact solution for brilliant sound comes with a stylish design and the practical Raumfeld app with multi-room function. The app allows access to many streaming services, and the soundbar can also be controlled very easily with it. The integrated subwoofer cannot compete with an external subwoofer or the integrated subwoofer of the Cinebar Ultima, but it produces a pretty good bass for its size. But the bundle with subwoofer would definitely be worth it if you have room for it.
Thanks to Teufel’s Dynamore 3D technology, the soundbar seems quite large with the up- and side-firingThese speakers emit the sound to the side. This creates a wider soundscape and a certain surround sound. speakers, and the virtual surround sound also works surprisingly well. However, the sound doesn’t really come from the back, of course. So the bundle with rear speakers really makes sense if you want to have a completely enveloping surround sound. The sound is even reflected from the ceiling through the up-firingThese speakers are positioned diagonally upwards so that the reflection of the sound from the ceiling reaches the viewers from above. They are mainly used for 3D sound formats like Dolby Atmos or DTS:X. speakers – even without Dolby AtmosDolby Atmos is a 3D sound format that adds sounds from above to surround sound systems and can also assign additional information to sounds so that they can be reproduced even more realistically..

The Cinebar Duett comes in a futuristic look and, as the name implies, forms a duet of a wide soundbar and a powerful subwoofer typical for Teufel.The soundbar itself has been equipped with 6 power amplifiers with a total of 10 speakers. Moreover, with its four side-firingThese speakers emit the sound to the side.

The virtual surround sound is really good thanks to Teufel’s Dynamore Ultra technology, and most soundbars from other manufacturers can’t keep in this regard. But if you really want enveloping surround sound, you should consider the bundle with rear speakers. Because you can only get real surround sound with satellite speakers – but you still have to do without Dolby AtmosDolby Atmos is a 3D sound format that adds sounds from above to surround sound systems and can also assign additional information to sounds so that they can be reproduced even more realistically. with Teufel soundbars.

Calling the Cinebar Pro a soundbar doesn’t really do it justice. The dimensions of the soundbar are quite large, so you can rather speak of a compressed, but still full-fledged hi-fi system with a powerful subwoofer. The sound profile is well balanced and can also be individually calibrated, so that the soundbar can be used for music, movies and dialogue-heavy content. In addition, the virtual surround sound is very convincing thanks to Dynamore Ultra and side-firingThese speakers emit the sound to the side.

- For smaller rooms
- Overload at high volumes
The Cinebar One is Teufel’s most compact soundbar and should therefore be reviewed separately. Of course, there is no question that the ~14″ wide sound bar is not able to fill a huge living room with sound. Its strengths are primarily in creating an impressive and dynamic soundscape in the near field, which makes it a great option for gaming. The USB port with integrated sound card is also suitable for this, so the soundbar can be connected directly to the PC via this interface.
The virtual surround sound is quite convincing with the side-firingThese speakers emit the sound to the side. This creates a wider soundscape and a certain surround sound. speakers and Dynamore Ultra and envelops the listener very pleasantly. However, the atmosphere evaporates quite quickly in large rooms, which is due to the soundbar’s small volume. Especially the bass seems a bit meager at a distance, which is why the bundle with a subwoofer really makes a noticeable difference.

The Cinebar 11 is a slim and versatile soundbar that comes with a strong down-firing subwoofer. The sound profile is quite balanced, but the soundbar should be used in smaller living rooms, as the good sound gets lost quite quickly in large rooms. Good connectivity is provided by HDMI with ARCAudio Return Chanel: With the HDMI ARC connection, the higher bandwidth allows data to be both sent and received over one HDMI cable, saving additional cables in many setups., Bluetooth, and optical input, so wireless use is also very easy.
The soundstage is surprisingly large despite the soundbar’s low volume, so the virtual surround sound really enriches the TV experience – which really cannot be taken for granted considering the Teufel soundbar’s affordable price.
