The best compact HiFi stereo multimedia system for your PC


Concept B 200 USB

Designed specifically with the PC multimedia set in mind, the Concept B 200 USB is a HiFi system delivering amazingly authentic sound without distortion for your PC.

If the last thing you need on your desk  is a jumble of wires and clunky speakers taking up all the space, then you're a prime candidate for the Concept B 200 USB. This system delivers amazingly accurate sound from two slimline speakers and an amplifier which can conveniently be hidden from sight.. And with a 120 watt amplifier, you're certain to get the sort of table-shaking sound you'd really enjoy for your gaming or Youtube watching.

Many computers are delivered with what they claim are soundcards, but you completely bypass these often lacklustre examples of the type with the system's integrated USB soundcard. And don't worry about plugging or unplugging all your devices anymore, either: the Concept B 200 USB has audio inputs to spare plus a mike/headphone jack.

If you expect to enjoy sound the way the engineers intended, without distortion or blurring, then the Concept B 200 USB is the set for you.


Flexibility
Separating the amplifier and loudspeakers from one another has an innovative advantage: it slims down the speakers, increases the connection possibilities, makes the system more usable and improves its sound.

CB 200 CS vorne Detail 3
The sound
The Concept B 200 USB's two stereo speakers are tuned to deliver optimal sound in conjunction with the system's amplifier and ideal situation (a short listening distance). A bass reflex opening integrated in the speakers ensures linear frequency response characteristics right down into the deep bass range.

120 watt amplifier
CB 200 CS innenConcept B 200 USB's compact amplifier has a great deal to offer: four 30 watt power amplifiers power the speakers' two high-range and two mid-range drivers. It's a classic active two-way system, but the power amplifiers are built into the preamp rather than the speakers. Two governors allow you to adjust the bass and high-range to match your personal tastes and/or the space available to you.

USB sound card
Your computer will automatically recognize the Concept B 200 USB's integrated sound card. It functions with computers running Windows, MacOS and Linux.

USB hub
Concept B 200 USB's external preamplifier features an integrated USB hub, making it easy to connect additional devices to your PC. It's a great feature, especially when used with notebooks, which are notorious for their lack of enough USB ports. Use the integrated USB hub with printers, scanners, or even with USB record players for the archiving of vinyl records.

Stereo Speaker CB 200 F

Stereo Speaker CB 200 F The two slender stereo speakers have two 80 mm klippel optimised long-stroke mid-range woofers with a 25 mm dome tweeter. The woofer is narrower although you've got 80 Hz on -dB points. And then there's the bass reflex opening in the trumpet foot. The amplifier connection is included and currently handles cable.

"It`s not a cheap set of speakers, but you really do get what you pay for and the external amplifier and soundcard make all the difference. Considering the quality of the manufacturing, the design and the lovely sound, these speakers are great value for money. It`s got the looks, the style and the sound quality. In fact, the only downside I can find is that now I`ve listened to them I want a set of my own!

A wonderful-sounding system, which should give you many years of listening pleasure."

"Teufel`s first-ever 2.0 PC speaker solution targets the PC user wanting Hi-Fi quality sound at their desk. With that in mind, the Concept B 200 USB is a success. We`ve never heard a set of 2.0 PC speakers that sound this good.

In use, listeners can close their eyes and forget they`re sat in front of their desktop PC- it almost feels like you`re resting in view of two bigger floor-standing stereo speakers. The sound on offer really is that impressive. Offering stunning clarity, the Concept B 200 USB will treat PC users to detail they may never have known existed. Listening to the Piano melodies of "Ludovico Einaudi`s" Divenire is a treat, with each note produced firmly and precisely.


Changing tune, "The Rolling Stones`" Almost Hear You Sigh comes across as sumptuous, with a swathe of warm bass, clear voice and accurate highs that aren`t too sharp. You could probably pick up an amp and a set of high-end stereo speakers from your local A/V specialist... then again, there`s a good chance you won`t get a dedicated USB sound card that negates the electronic noise created by your PC, or an integrated USB hub.

If you`re after a 2.0 PC solution that offers truly excellent sound, you`re very very unlikely to be disappointed by Teufel`s Concept B 200 USB. Such is the company`s confidence in its products, the Concept B 200 USB comes backed by a 12-year warranty, and dissatisfied listeners can always fall back on Teufel`s eight-week return policy. You don`t get much fairer than that."

"The build quality of the Teufel Concept B 200 is superb. The control unit in particular has been packed with some serious audio technology. Not only does it offer fantastic definition and an even balance between high and low frequencies, it`s a really cool way of controlling music on your desk.

The versatility of the Concept B 200 is also a huge selling point. Many people will have their PC near CD players, MP3 players or similar devices, which can be connected to the control unit for an integrated and high quality experience.

The quality of the amplification is exceptional, and if you`re looking for a 2.0 system, then don`t settle for less than the Concept B 200."

Verdict:
"Music fans looking for a fantastic desktop system should seriously consider the Teufel Concept B 200 system- there`s no better 2.0 system for music in this price range in terms of connectivity and sound quality."

"For the more-discerning PC-based music enthusiast, these fine noisemakers connect to your computer's USB port, While a separate amp makes sure the 120W of sound is sweet and good-natured.

It's powered by USB, too, so there's only one lead!"

 
PC Pro 11/2009 "...it all sounded balanced and clean"
"Despite the prevalence of 5.1 and 7.1 PC speaker systems, there's still a lot to be said for sticking with straightforward stereo. If you do, you'll invariably get better quality, and you...
"Despite the prevalence of 5.1 and 7.1 PC speaker systems, there's still a lot to be said for sticking with straightforward stereo. If you do, you'll invariably get better quality, and you won't have a mess of cables festooning your computer either.

Teufel's Concept B speakers push that theory to the max. In the box you get not only a pair of twin-driver speakers, but also a compact D-class amplifier, which pumps out a respectable 60W per channel. Interestingly, connection is made via USB, meaning all the digital to analogue conversion takes place away from the electronically-noisy confines of your PC. And another point worthy of note is that each channel is split in two, with 30W of juice being supplied to each driver.

Look around the rear and you'll discover the amp is no one-trick pony, with a hatful of other connections available. You get a further two USB inputs, one 3.5mm socket, a pair of stereo phono inputs for connecting traditional hi-fi separates, plus 3.5mm microphone and headphone sockets on the front panel. If the amp sounds impressive, the speakers look even more so - if you can find room for them on your desk, that is.

Each speaker squeezes in three drivers - a mid, a bass and a tweeter - and measures a not-inconsequential 100 x 218 x 314mm (WDH), so you'll have to clear some space to fit them in. And aurally, they make a big first impression too. You can keep turning up the volume until your ears hurt, with nary a hint of distortion or rattle. Bass is kept in check but is still punchy, and the top end is detailed without sounding too harsh. We listened to everything from Radiohead through Aphex Twin to Stravinksy's The Rite of Spring and it all sounded balanced and clean."

"It's immediately apparent that Teufel is doing something different with the Concept B 200 USB speakers. They're priced like a decent set of 2.1-channel speakers... but as the System 5 THX Select 2 speaker set showed, Teufel doesn't mess around when it comes to providing excellent audio equipment.

Rather than connecting to the audio output of your PC, the Concept Bs come with a dedicated amplifier unit, the CB 200 CS Control Station, that connects via USB. The benefit is self-evident; bypassing your PC's integrated (read: rubbish), soundcard.

There are two reasons you might want to do that. One, the digital-to-analogue decoding in Teufel's amp unit will almost certainly be better than what your PC can provide, and two, amplifying an audio signal that has already been amplified itself (as a 'normal' set of speakers would) will only ever degrade it - an issue which Teufel's set-up avoids.

If clarity, precision and detail are important to you then the Concept B 200 USB speakers will be right up your street. The quality of their audio reproduction is nothing short of phenomenal. There's simply no other way to put it. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest to say that these are the best sounding PC speakers I've ever had the pleasure of listening to by a decent margin. "
