THE THIEL AUDIO EXPERIENCE

Thank you for purchasing our 3rd Avenue Collection loudspeakers. Only the most

discerning listeners choose THIEL, and you’re going to love the vibrant sounds they

bring into your home.

THIEL stands for sound above all. Our mission is to conceive and build the world’s ﬁn-

est loudspeakers—ones with the most perfect reproduction of sound possible. We’re

proud this series represents who we are as a company.

The THIEL in-house engineering team painstakingly designed and engineered these

ultimate performance loudspeakers to bring you the very best home entertainment

sound, just as the artists intended it to be experienced. THIEL speakers reproduce

sound in such a lifelike, realistic way that they create an emotional and sensory bond

between you and the artists.

Whatever its form, entertainment is the heartbeat of THIEL. We cannot live without

movies, music, live performances. That’s one of the main reasons we moved to Music

City—to be immersed in the very creativity and sound that for us and for you make life

worth living.

The 3rd Avenue Collection reveals our passion. In all we do, THIEL strives to meet

and exceed our customers’ audio desires and high expectations. That’s our commit-

ment to you.

What makes the 3rd Avenue Collection so special?

The 3rd Avenue Collection loudspeakers demonstrate THIEL’s ﬂair for design and our

meticulous attention to the execution of each design. This series provides you with

a range of options to create either a fantastic two-channel or surround sound home

entertainment system. Developing this full range of speakers for surround sound is a

ﬁrst for THIEL.

Our holistic design goal is for all THIEL products to have high dynamic capability,

which means they accurately deliver the lowest and highest frequencies—plus

everything in between—at high sound pressure levels. THIEL speakers accurately

reproduce not only barely audible sounds like whispers, but also very loud sounds like

explosions. Our component (driver) design and engineering are key to achieving that

wide-spectrum performance.

In terms of the acoustic components, THIEL’s engineering team:

• Designed a multi-order crossover that smoothly and expertly directs your

ampliﬁer’s signals to the woofer, mid bass, midrange, and tweeter.

• Engineered proprietary mid bass, midranges, and woofers—designing optimal

components and using the best possible materials for each speaker in the series.

As a result, you hear cleanly reproduced, complex bass and midrange frequencies …

the ones that make you want to groove.

• Customized a titanium dome tweeter that deftly handles all of the high frequencies …

the ones that make movie soundtracks and music shimmer.

• Optimized back ports to limit interference with the recorded sound.

The speakers’ exterior emphasizes sleek, curved lines. In re-imagining the cabinets of

the 3rd Avenue Collection, the THIEL engineering team used large-radius curves on

either side of the bafﬂe to reduce the bending of high-frequency sound waves around

the speaker bafﬂes. In tech speak that means fewer diffractions. And we built in ex-

treme cabinet rigidity to eliminate audible resonances. The result for you is pure, clear,

lifelike sound ﬁlling your entertainment room.

The THIEL secret is in blending all of the design elements into a consummate execution.

Your new speakers will crisply reproduce the sounds as they were recorded—shifting

quickly and smoothly from the highest to the lowest frequencies, keeping all details

clear, and banishing audible distortion. All of which means you’ll be totally immersed in

the action and drama of movie soundtracks or performances, and riveted by the quiet

and complex musical passages of your favorite artists.

YOUR ENTERTAINMENT ROOM

Experiencing the most pleasure from your speakers depends on the room you’ve

chosen for watching movies and listening to music. Because every room is different,

THIEL offers general rules on speaker positioning in the paragraphs below for both

two-channel and surround sound systems. The variables covered include room size,

the position of your favorite sofa or chair, and room furnishings. We encourage you to

experiment with the placement of your THIEL speakers and with your furnishings to

achieve the sound results that best suit your taste.

The 3rd Avenue Collection speakers are high-performance sound reproducers and

work best when you pair them with the best sound system equipment. Because THIEL

speakers are extremely accurate, they will reveal sources of distortion generated else-

where within your system, for example from poor quality cables, an inferior or inade-

quate ampliﬁer, or inferior electronics. Poor recordings, which sometimes happen, will

also be reproduced with stunning accuracy by your THIEL speakers!

We recommend that you use clean gloves when handling

the speakers so that no smudges occur on the cabinets.

The two-channel/stereo environment

A reasonably large room gives you the ﬂexibility to position a pair of speakers (book-

shelf or tower) away from all of the walls. Your room’s walls do have various effects on

the speakers’ sound. In general, when a speaker is close to a wall, the bass response

is stronger. Consider the following:

• In a large room, if you’re using bookshelf speakers (the TM3s), you may want to

move them closer to the corners of the room for more bass, if that’s your preference.

• In a small room, however, the bass from the bookshelf speakers may suit your taste

just ﬁne when the speakers are well away from the walls and corners.

• In a small room, if you’re using tower speakers (the TT1s), you can position them

well away from the walls and corners for less bass.

Typically, the bass is ampliﬁed in a small room. If your listening space is small, you may

feel as though the bass “room gain” (the effect of the room itself on the bass) is exces-

sive. In that case, use the port plugs (enclosed in the original box) to seal the back port

opening on each speaker. That should give you a more realistic sounding bass and a

better balance with the midrange and high frequencies.

In a two-channel/stereo set-up, the THIEL speakers’ mid and high frequencies sound

best when the speakers are not against or near any walls.

Reﬂected sound

Imagine you’re sitting in a favorite chair or sofa inside a sphere. Sound comes toward

you from all directions, vertically and horizontally. In any room no matter the size, you

want the primary sound from the speakers to be distinctly separated in time from the

secondary sound, which is reﬂected off of your walls and furniture.

Figure 1 shows that in a two-channel system, by positioning the speakers away from your

room’s walls, the arrival of the primary sound waves is well separated from the arrival of

Caution:

Do not bend the grilles. Bending the grilles will cause permanent

damage, and the grilles will no longer properly mount to the bafﬂes.

The THIEL engineering team designed the grilles to protect the speakers’

components. If you have not already done so, please attach each magnetic

grille (included in the original box) to the front of the speakers right now—

aligning each grille with the top of the speaker.

If you must remove the grille at some later time, use both hands to carefully pull

the grille frame away from the front of the speaker. Do not twist or bend the grille.

Figure 1

the secondary, reﬂected sound waves. That provides the proper delay needed by our

ears to appreciate the spatial separation of instruments and vocals.

In a two-channel/stereo environment, we recommend you sit at least 6.5 feet (about 2

meters) from the speakers. As a general rule, your two speakers and favorite sofa or

chair should form the three points of an equilateral triangle, which means the speakers

are as far from you as they are from each other. That is a good starting point. Depend-

ing on the size of your room, the sensitivity of your ears, and the reﬂectivity of the walls,

you can point the speakers straight ahead and directly at you, or angle them in directly

at you.

If, because of your room’s size or layout, your speakers must be close to the side

walls, use an angled in (or a toed-in) position for both speakers to weaken the side-wall

reﬂections and focus the sound on where you’re seated. Other adjustments you can

experiment with to make the sound suit your preference include:

• Widening the space between the speakers. If your speakers are too close to each other,

the lifelike sound that the THIEL Left/Right speakers are designed to produce will be

less distinct than it should be.

• Angling-in the speakers as you increase the width between them.

• Increasing the space between the speakers and the back wall.

• Increasing the distance of your favorite chair or sofa from the speakers.

• Adjusting your room’s décor.

Furnishings

Yes, furnishings affect your audio experience in both stereo and surround sound

environments. First, avoid placing any large objects (furniture or artwork) close to the

speakers because sound waves will reﬂect off those objects and alter your enjoyment.

Then, evaluate your room’s acoustic personality. From an audio perspective, rooms are

described as “live” or “dead.”

You have a “live” room if its décor includes a lot of glass, hardwoods (ﬂoor, furniture),

and other hard surfaces that reﬂect sound coming from the speakers. Those types of

furnishings alone may make the recorded tones sharper than you expect or like.

• A wood or glass table between you and the speakers reﬂects sound away from you.

Move that table to the side of your chair or sofa, if possible.

• To soften the effects of a hardwood ﬂoor, add an area rug or carpet between you

and the speakers.

• Hanging soft materials (small rugs or tapestries) on side walls or positioning a

bookcase (without doors) on a side wall can also reduce sound reﬂection.

You have a “dead” room acoustically speaking if it is decorated with heavy carpet,

drapes, and upholstered furniture. They absorb sound and can make the recorded

details softer or less distinct than you expect or like.

• While removing the carpet in your room may be impractical, you can try removing some of

the upholstered furniture, adding glass or wood pieces, or using a different (less soft) window

covering to help make the sounds more distinct.

Depending on your furnishings, you may need to continue experimenting further with

the placement and angling of your speakers and the location of your favorite sofa or

chair. By trying some of the suggestions above, you’re sure to create the right environ-

ment to enjoy your favorite entertainment.

THE SURROUND SOUND SET UP

Surround sound home entertainment makes you feel right inside the movie’s action or

in the best seats at a concert. If you’re are not sure how many speakers you want for

your home entertainment room, it’s easy to start with a 5.1 system from THIEL, using

one center speaker (a TC1), a subwoofer, a pair of tower speakers (TT1), and a pair

of TM3 bookshelf speakers (on stands or wall-mounted). We’ve designed this series

of speakers to complement each other.

Later, you can easily add a pair of surround sound speakers to that ﬁne array to create

a 7.1 system.

Figure 2 shows the recommended speaker positions in relation to you and each other

for two surround sound options, 5.1 and 7.1. The left/right speakers in a 5.1 system

should either be in line with your sofa/chair, or just behind it. We recommend placing

those speakers on stands or mounting them on the wall so their tweeters are at ear

level when you’re seated. The surround sound speakers should be at ear level or

higher when you’re seated.

The Center Channel

Note that the center speaker, the TC1, is typically positioned below ear level but

angled so that the tweeter (the central 1” driver above the 3.5” midrange driver) is

directed toward ear level, as in Figure 3.1.

If you place the center speaker above ear level (for example, mounted on top of a cabi-

net as in Figure 3.2, above), then the center speaker should be rotated 180 degrees for

correct performance. In order to rotate the center speaker 180 degrees, simply place

the speaker on the side that was previously on top (tweeter above the midrange driver),

so that the tweeter is now below the midrange driver (as in Figure 3.2), allowing the

sound to better disperse at this new height.

Speaker binding posts

Cables come with pin connectors, banana plugs, spade connectors, looped wire, or

straight wire. The THIEL 3rd Avenue Collection is equipped with 5-way binding posts

to accept any of these connectors. Our speakers’ binding posts allow for a very solid

connection with the cables you select.

Figure 4.1 and Figure 4.2 show the THIEL TM3 terminal plate and TC1 terminal plate,

which have two binding posts each.

The TT1 in the 3rd Avenue Collection has four post bindings or two pairs of terminals

at the back (see Figure 4.3). Leave the jumper strap in place and use a cable to attach

each speaker to a separate channel of your ampliﬁer.

Connecting your speakers to the ampliﬁer/receiver

While speaker set-up can be daunting, wire set-up is relatively easy. Before connecting

your speaker cables to the terminals and appropriate components, prepare and inter-

connect the ampliﬁer, preamp, and additional music systems as per each component’s

instructions.

For correct and lifelike sound reproduction, both speakers in a stereo system must

be wired in the same polarity. The speaker’s input terminals are color coded to make

connecting the cables straight-forward.

• The wire connected to the red-ringed input terminal of each speaker should connect to the

respective positive (+) output terminals of the ampliﬁer/receiver.

• The wire connected to the black-ringed input terminals should be connected to the

respective negative (–) output terminals of the ampliﬁer/receiver.

It is important to note that the quality of the speaker cables and other interconnections

signiﬁcantly affects the performance of your entertainment system.

Speaker cables

The shipping boxes do not contain the cables (wiring) needed to connect the speakers

to your ampliﬁer/receiver. Cables must be purchased separately. It’s important to know

that old or inexpensive speaker cables can diminish the sound quality of your THIEL

speakers. It pays to use high-quality, low-gauge cables to connect your speakers to the

ampliﬁer/receiver. Low-gauge cables ensure minimal loss of power (thanks to reduced

impedance) and proper control by the ampliﬁer. Consider these factors when choosing

cables for your sound system: gauge and length.

Gauge. All speaker cables have an American Wire Gauge (AWG) number (ranging

from 0000 to 40) that indicates the thickness of the wire’s copper bundle (the all-

important electric conductor). A lower gauge means a thicker wire. And the thicker the

wire, the better it conducts the signal from your ampliﬁer to your speakers. Speaker

cables used with stereo and home entertainment systems typically range from 10

gauge to 18 gauge.

Length. Cable length also affects sound quality. For example, bookshelf speakers are

often placed relatively close to the receiver or ampliﬁer (within 6.5 feet); in that case,

you can use shorter, higher gauge (18 AWG), less expensive cables. However, if you

need or want to run cables longer than that, refer to Figure 5 as a guide to the best

gauge for your home system.

We recommend using cables of nearly the same length (plus or minus 1 foot) for each

speaker. By using similar lengths of cable to connect your speakers to the ampliﬁer/re-

ceiver, you’ll ensure that the speakers receive similar power and produce a similar sound

at a given volume.

Bi-amping

If you’re using a high-quality ampliﬁer with high output capacity for your two-channel/

stereo system, there is probably no need to bi-amp. However, the limitations of your

current ampliﬁer may persuade you to bi-amp your stereo system. If, for example, your

ampliﬁer has a small output capability (in terms of watts) or you routinely play your

ampliﬁer at high volume (it’s “overdriven”), distortion will occur. That happens because

with one, average-quality ampliﬁer, most of the power goes to the woofer (handling

the low frequencies); so playing the stereo system at high volume distorts the higher

frequencies.

Bi-amping uses one ampliﬁer for the low frequencies and a second ampliﬁer for the mid

and high frequencies. Having two ampliﬁers means less distortion is audible in the mid

and high frequencies when your system is played at high volume or your ampliﬁer is not

of high quality.

Given the limits of your ampliﬁer, if you do

decide to bi-amp the TT1 loudspeakers,

ﬁrst detach the jumper straps (see Figure

6). Then use two cables to attach each

pair of binding posts on the speaker to a

separate ampliﬁer.

THIEL speakers beneﬁt from a higher cur-

rent, higher quality ampliﬁer (for example,

8 ohm). If you’re connecting the speakers

to an ampliﬁer with various impedance

taps, the nominal impedance of the 3rd

Avenue Collection is 8 ohm; the minimal

impedance is 3 to 4 ohm.

Power requirements of your ampliﬁer

It is important to have enough music power from the ampliﬁer to play the artists you

love at the volume level you desire without distortion.

• If you play the speakers more loudly than the volume your ampliﬁer can cleanly produce,

the ampliﬁer will create what is called overload (clipping) distortion. The sound will

become compressed, strained, and in extreme cases, obviously distorted.

• This distortion is actually nonmusical additional energy. It is concentrated in the high

frequency region, and the tweeter can be damaged in extreme cases.

Sound quality is usually more important to discerning listeners than sound quantity.

Two ampliﬁers of equal power can have large differences in their sonic performance.

And that is more important than large differences in power.

Most discriminating listeners will be happier with a 100-watt ampliﬁer of high sonic

quality than a 200-watt ampliﬁer of mediocre quality. For that reason, we feel there is

no substitute for listening carefully when selecting your ampliﬁer.

The question “How much power do I need?” does not have the simple answer most

people expect. The music power needed is determined by three factors: the volume

you prefer, the size of your room, and the speaker’s efﬁciency rating. Each factor can

raise or lower the average (100 watts) by two or more times.

As shown in Figure 7, a small or average (medium) size room will need less power for a

given loudness level than a large room. Speciﬁcally, a very small room (1,000 cu ft or

about 11’ x 11’ with an 8’ ceiling) will require about half the power of a medium size

room. A large room (6,000 cu ft or 20’ x 30’ with a 10’ ceiling) will require twice the

power of a medium size room.

• If your listening room is connected to another room by a large open area, the

required power will increase, but not by the amount of the combined room volume.

• If your listening room has a “dropped” ceiling with light panels, the ceiling will be

almost transparent acoustically and the space above the ceiling should be counted in

the room size. If the light panels are heavy, they will act as a more normal ceiling.

A speaker with a low efﬁciency rating will require twice the power of a speaker with

average efﬁciency. And a speaker with a high efﬁciency rating will require only half the

power of a speaker with average efﬁciency.

On average, you should have an ampliﬁer that is 100 watts per channel. The minimum

power, average power, and maximum power all depend on the particular speaker model

(see Figure 8).

ACCESSORIES

THIEL Tower 1

Stabilizer spikes and threaded rubber bumpers: In the gift box are eight stabilizer

spike sets (pin, washer and puck) and eight threaded black rubber bumpers.

Speakers positioned on a soft or uneven surface are able to rock slightly and will

vibrate in reaction to the forces that the speaker generates to move the driver di-

aphragms. (Every action has an equal and opposite reaction). This motion slightly

reduces the music’s clarity. To eliminate this effect, the TT1s can be used with four

stabilizer spikes or threaded rubber bumpers to provide a more solid footing and allow

the speakers to couple more ﬁrmly to the ﬂoor.

The ﬂoor type in your listening environment will determine which variety is best for

your particular application. The stabilizer spike is recommended if the speakers will

be placed on a rug or carpet, as the spike’s tip will pierce the soft material to ensure

greater stability. If the speakers will be directly on the ﬂoor, it is advisable to use the

stabilizer spike with the spike puck or the threaded rubber bumper to prevent scratch-

es or marks to the ﬂoor.The speakers should be positioned before the stabilizer feet or

threaded rubber bumpers are installed.

Caution:

Be cautioned that it is possible to mar the ﬂoor’s surface if the speakers

are moved with the spikes in place. Please utilize the spike puck to protect

the ﬂoor from any potential damage that such movement could cause.

To install:

{Installation is the same for the threaded black rubber bumper except no washer

or base is required.}

1. Position the speaker in the desired location.

2. Tilt the speaker forward slightly so that the back of the speaker is a few

inches off of the ﬂoor.

3. Screw one spike, with the locking nut threaded all the way onto the spike,

into each of the two holes at the back corners of the speaker bottom. The

pins should be screwed into the speaker until there is about ¼ inch of

thread remaining visible.

4. Let the back of the speaker down, and then tilt the speaker backward

slightly so that the front is a few inches off the ﬂoor and install the two front

spikes.

5. With all four spikes installed, the height of each spike should be adjusted so

that the speaker stands ﬁrmly on the ﬂoor without wobbling. Then, tighten

the lock nuts by turning them so they are tight against the cabinet to secure

the spikes to the cabinet.

THIEL Monitor 3

Adhesive Pads: Included in the gift box is a set of clear adhesive-backed rubber pads

to provide optional protection and cushioning between the bottom of the speaker and

the surface upon which it rests.

To apply, carefully tilt the TM3 back and adhere a rubber pad to each corner of the

base of the speaker; stand upright when ﬁnished.

CABINET CARE

The THIEL speaker cabinets are carefully crafted using quality materials and veneers.

We recommend using a damp microﬁber (soft) cloth to dust or clean them. Avoid

rough cloths because they will scratch the high-gloss painted ﬁnish of the speaker

cabinets.
