"In mehreren Worten: Der Subwoofer macht ordentlich was los, dafür ist allerdings eine gute Positionierung wichtig. Ist diese Mal gefunden, tut man gut daran, dem Hausmeister bereits vor dem Bass-Test Bescheid zu geben. Die integrierte Endstufe kommt auf einen Sinuswert von 60 Watt. Auch die Soundbar selbst liefert tolle Ergebnisse mit satten Bässen und sauberen, definierten Höhen – und dies sowohl bei basslastigem Hiphop (Testlied: Sido – Für Ewig) bis zu epischer Klassik (Testlied: Antonin Dvorak – Aus der neuen Welt)."
Fazit:
"Die Cinebar 11 verzichtet auf unnötige, optische Schnörkel und konzentriert sich aufs wesentliche. Der Sound ist top, die einfache Installation Balsam für die von Kabelknoten geschundene Seele. Der Höhepunkt des Ganzen ist der downfire Subwoofer."

Features
Overview of our technologies
Easy on the eyes, a revelation for the ears
The Cinebar 11 hits all the right notes with a slender, elegant design and powerful sound. Just 8 cm high, the Cinebar along with its handy wireless subwoofer won’t get in the way of your living room interior. Instead, the system places the emphasis where it belongs: The sound.
Eight drivers: Clever teamwork for immersive sound
A tweeter and three midrange drivers empower each side of the Cinebar 11 with perfectly balanced sound along the entire frequency range. Enjoy high-resolution, realistic playback with television programs, movies and games.
HDMI, Bluetooth, optical and analog inputs for connecting to any source device
The Cinebar 11 is equipped with Bluetooth for effortlessly streaming high-quality music from smartphones, tablets and PCs. An HDMI input and output make it possible to easily connect the sound system to your TV. HDMI ARC support means a single HDMI cable is all you’ll need. HDMI CEC makes it possible to control the system with your existing TV remote. Alternately, the audio signal can be fed to the system via optical or analog input.
Experience atmospheric sound
Integrated Virtual Surround Technology ensures authentic 3-dimenstionality that comes very close to that of a full 5.1 surround sound system. Instead of simply converting surround signals from your television into stereo, as some soundbars do, Virtual Surround transforms the signal in real time and distributes it to the eight drivers. The result is an amazingly immersive sound experience. Important notice regarding the initial pairing procedure for the wireless subwoofer.
Powerful bass
Powerful bass
The subwoofer is controlled wirelessly. Audio transmission is lossless and without delays. You only need one cable connection.
Bass reflex system
There is a tuner and bass reflex tube on the underside of the device. The bass reflex system allows for deep, strong bass even from such compact dimensions.

Die Soundbar ist aber eine gute Lösung für alle, die sich am blechernen Klang ihres Fernsehers stören, den Sound auch beim normalen Fernsehprogramm ohne Mehrkanaltonspur verbessern wollen und sich ohne viel Aufwand gern am gesamten hörbaren Soundspektrum erfreuen."

„Vor fast drei Jahren überzeugte uns die erste Version der Cinebar 11 im Test, nun legt Teufel seine Klangstange neu auf – in einer weißen Farbvariante und mit größerem Fokus auf den Bassbereich. So geht der neue, mitgelieferte Subwoofer noch tiefer und sorgt für ein dynamisches, grundsolides Bassfundament. Die Soundbar spielt nach wie vor auf sehr hohem Niveau. HDMI, Toslink und Bluetooth sorgen für ausreichend Verbindungsmöglichkeiten. Das raumfüllende Stereobild, klare Höhen und der generell sehr ausgewogene Klangcharakter gehören zum Besten in dieser Preisklasse.“

"...the very good surround sound and powerful bass attest to the high score"

"Clean high- and a decent mid-range really invited the listener in. But the Teufel system is also good for gaming. Especially in front of the PC monitor, the surround sound comes into its own. Thanks to the clear high-tones, even soft "sound fragments" are reproduced very well - a highlight for film fans. In addition, bass lovers will like the Cinebar 11 - the low bass is impressive. " Conclusion: "The soundbar system with Bluetooth and NFC scores highly [...] with high-quality processing and a very good technical system. In the sonic range, the clear high- and the clean middle-tone range were particularly convincing. The strength of the high levels, the very good surround sound and the powerful bass attest to our score."

"The subwoofer delivers on the basic setting, it can be controlled independently of the soundbar, and has decent punch and power. Although the diameter of the driver at 16.5cm is relatively small, the subwoofer reaches fairly high volumes. Therefore, for the price [...] the sound depth and bass volume is very fair. [...] However, the Soundbar itself also delivers a good sound." "If you want [...] speakers that look good, without an excessive number of cables and still want more sound than your built-in speakers, then you have come to the right place! Even better if you love bass!"

"In a few words, the subwoofer does a lot of work, but good positioning is important. [...] The integrated power amplifier has an output of 60 Watts. The soundbar itself delivers great results with rich basses and clean, defined high tones - both with bass-heavy hiphop (Test song: Sido - For Eternal) and epic classical music (Test song: Antonin Dvorak - From the New World). Conclusion: "The Cinebar 11 eliminates unnecessary, optical flare and concentrates on the essentials. The sound is great, the easy installation soothes those who get anxious about knotted cables, and the down-fire subwoofer is a real highlight."

"[...][A]fter setting up and pairing the system with Bluetooth you can get started right away. The first strains from the Cinebar 11 were forceful but free from distortion. The loudspeaker played well at even higher volumes. I tested the Cinebar 11 with rockier sounds as well as with more laid back club music. I’m personally completely won over by this Teufel product. The tuning lets every musical genre find its voice. A large room can be filled with sound at even mid-level volumes – without loss of sound quality.”

"Those who value elegant, unusual design and good workmanship are well served with the Cinebar 11 from Teufel. Every critic will be won over by the tonal quality and devilishly good sound. Whether within one’s own four walls, for a party or for home cinema: The soundbar does the job.”

„[W]ir stellen beeindruckt fest, wie druckvoll diese auf Minimalmaße geschrumpfte Cinebar aufspielt. Die Soundeffekte werden auf den Punkt geliefert, die Anweisungen über Funk bleiben trotz Kugelhagels und Explosionen ebenso gut verständlich wie die bruchstückhaften Informationen, die sich die Soldaten gegenseitig entgegen brüllen. Präziser und zugleich intensiver kann es wohl kaum werden.“
„Der Subwoofer haut alles raus, was in ihm steckt und die Soundbar zieht begeistert mit. Selbst bei höheren Lautstärken bleibt die Kombi dabei vollkommen souverän und rutscht nicht in hässliche Verzerrungen ab.“
„[D]er räumliche Eindruck der Cinebar [ist] aller Ehren wert. Das bei diesen knappen Abmessungen überhaupt hinzubekommen, beweist das umfangreiche Know-How von Teufel. Das Primärziel – nämlich die Verbesserung des TV-Sounds – erfüllt die Cinebar 11 mühelos und mindestens zehn Mal besser als wir zu hoffen gewagt haben.“
Fazit:
„Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist bei Teufel-Lautsprechern aus Prinzip hervorragend und bei der Cinebar 11 schlicht überragend. Derart riesigen Klang in so kompakten Gehäusen zu verpacken stößt ohne Frage an die Grenzen des physikalisch Machbaren. Wer bislang aus Platzgründen auf Soundunterstützung für den Fernseher verzichtet hat, wird mit dieser Soundbar/Subwoofer-Kombination [...] höchstwahrscheinlich die perfekte Lösung gefunden haben.“

"The Teufel is truly easy to control. The remote offers a dedicated button for all important functions as well as source selections so that one need not search in any menus for very long.”
"The system can digest stereo, Dolby Digital and DTS signals. The surround mode ensures a good 3-dimensional sound image and transports the viewer into the events of the movie. When it comes to the sound, the compact soundbar can deliver a big performance. The mid and treble ranges play very cleanly and dynamically even at raised levels. In this way, not only movie soundtracks but also music in stereo is a true pleasure with the Cinebar.”

It becomes apparent how little space the soundbar takes up when it is set [...] upon a surface. Wall-mount brackets and recesses for connections allow it to be hung on a wall. The controls benefit from a light coloured display that can be switched off if needed.
During the listening test, the Teufel surprised us – unusual for such a small transducer [...]. The bass reflex sub plays [...] cleanly and with a lot of pressure. The 30 Hertz bass delivered effortless playback which lent the overall sound a fullness and maturity. The soundbar reproduced the mids and the highs transparenty and without colouration. The device is characterized by a broad dispersion from top to bottom, while the mids become increasingly softer as one moves to either side of the centerless soundbar. The optional surround mode can expand the stereo panorama [...]
AV Conclusion:
For a low price, Teufel delivers big sound that takes up relatively little space with the Cinebar 11. Since both the feature set and workmanship were top, we’re categorizing it as a price recommendation.

"The dimensionality of the sound in particular leaves nothing to be desired and just about compares with a full-sized surround sound system."

Design and features
[...] With height of just 5.4 cm, the soundbar is very flat. It can be easily placed under a televsion without obscuring the picture. If needed, home cinema fans can also fix the soundbar to the wall using the integrated brackets. [...]
Of all the features, the HDMI interface is worth mentioning. [...] The soundbar also has an optical digital input at its disposal and an analogue 3.5 mm stereo socket. Those who dislike cables will enjoy the wireless connection to source devices via Bluetooth and NFC.
Along with the soundbar, an active subwoofer is included with delivery. This blends in seamlessly with the Cinebar 11’s design. A pairing button on the back allows the bass driver to be easily and wirelessly connected to the soundbar.
Components and sound
The Cinebar 11’s sealed enclosure conceals two tweeters […]. In combination with six midrange drivers, […] the loudspeaker brings forth a sound that thoroughly won us over. This is a considerable achievement especially considering the compact measurements. The dimensionality of the sound in particular leaves nothing to be desired and just about compares with a full-sized surround sound system. Dialogue sounds clear and is easy to understand. The separation of voices and other effects occurs seamlessly. Even subtle effects are perceived as such. Inside the active subwoofer is a bass driver with a 165 mm diameter. The subwoofer harmonizes with the soundbar and ensures a powerful and full-sounding bass. […]
Conclusion
[…] The loudspeaker brings forth an outstanding sound and, thanks to a subtle design, the soundbar can be easily integrated into every living room. The Cinebar 11 is the perfect choice for home cinema fans with very little space and leaves nothing to be desired.

"In terms of sound quality, the Cinebar impressed us the most out of all the test devices."

"The soundbar from audio specialists Teufel is a mere six and a half centimetres tall. Even the subwoofer seems relatively slender. The manufacturer makes special reference to the fact that the bass drivers can be placed upright or on their side [...]. The wireless bass unit is encased in a high-end wooden enclosure; a hard synthetic was used for the soundbar along with metal grilles to protect the loudspeakers. Alone the small, light remote doesn’t seem to belong to the elegant ensemble.
Along with a HDMI socket with audio feedback channel, Teufel – like its competitor Panasonic - provides an additional HDMI input for a Blu-ray player or game console. Optical and coaxial connection options are also available. As an additional feature, there’s a Bluetooth interface as well as virtual surround. As we have come to expect from Teufel, no audio cables are included with delivery, but it did come with a practical wall mount. In terms of sound quality, the Cinebar impressed us the most out of all the test devices.
In spite of a relatively small size, the subwoofer delivered the most powerful and dynamic bass performance of all. A room filling stereo image with crystal clear highs and a all-around balanced character completes the excellent listening impression. You can, by the way, do without the surround effects here as well.”
Plus points: Slender design / high-quality workmanship / impressive, powerful soundstage / also suitable for music

"Chic, fully loaded, and powerful - the Cinebar 11 plays into the hearts of consumers.”

"The feature range includes many things that were sorely missed on Teufel soundbars: HDMI wiring, Bluetooth, and NFC are all included along with Dolby Digital and DTS decoders. The Cinebar 11 even has a virtual surround sound program.
The connection possibilities are comprised of an HDMI input, an HDMI output, an optical digital input, a 3.5 mm analogue stereo jack input and, as a wireless option, Bluetooth with NFC. The Cinebar 11 has a very pleasant appearance. Teufel opted out of the high-gloss look in favour of a matte synthetic. The front drivers are positioned behind precisely fitted metal grilles and enhanced with a chrome ring – a nice detail that immediately increases the perceived value of the workmanship.
The active subwoofer is wirelessly connected [...] 90 watts is given as the subwoofer channel’s maximum power capacity. The continuous power capacity is 60 watts. The bass driver can produce frequencies from 42 t0 200 Hz and operates according to a bass reflex principle.”
"Acoustically, it’s, of course, not so easy to pull the maximum from a very compact enclosure. We’re therefore eager to see whether Teufel managed to achieve a rich, lively sound. We listened to the Blu-ray disc “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” starting with the second chapter. The gigantic hangar door opens with a powerful drone. The active subwoofer does a very good job here and ensures a respectable volume.
Ideally, the room should measure about 12 by 20 square metres. The Cinebar 11 unfurls an astonishingly rich and intense sound in this room size, and higher levels are no problem. The musical score was well integrated; the collaboration between the subwoofer and the soundbar is perfectly executed. The sound seems full, but is at the same time precise and dynamic.
When the movie really heats up [...], the Cinebar 11 comes into its own: The punches and gun shots are penetrating, the vehicle sounds and crashes are not only impressive, they reach the listener with clearly differentiated levels. Due to the broad horizontal dispersion angle, it’s no problem to include a number of listeners in the enjoyment of the Cinebar 11’s sound quality.
The virtual surround sound function is a success. It creates a large addition of realistic dimensionality, without damping the tone or making it sound tinny. Spatial widths as well as depth are considerably – and successfully – enhanced.
The Bluetooth connection is easily established even when NFC is not used. One simply presses the “BT Pairing” button on the remote and the Cinebar 11 is ready to connect. If a smartphone is Bluetooth enabled, it takes less than 30 seconds for the connection to be established.
Conclusion
"Late bloomer: Teufel’s first flat soundbar comes onto the market just in time for the Christmas season. Good workmanship, a reasonable price, and equipped with all the modern, in-demand features, the Cinebar 11 set is doubtlessly a good deal. The sound evinces clarity, powerful bass, and dimensionality.
Like a ‘Berlin hip flask’: Chic, fully loaded, and powerful - the Cinebar 11 plays into the hearts of consumers.”
