TS10 PREPARATION
Getting Started
Safety
To prevent injury and damage to the unit, please read and
follow the instructions in this manual.
If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself,
have it installed by a qualified audio technician.
Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-)
terminal to prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible
injury.
Do not connect Amplifier or any audio source to
illumination inputs. Inputs are designed for 12 volt
power source only.
Thank you for purchasing the TS10 1" tweeter. Although Dual has attempted to make
sure all of the information contained within this manual is accurate, please be aware
that any part of it is subject to change without notice.
Placement
The TS10 must be combined with other component speakers to develop a complete
speaker system. A 2-way system is comprised of a midrange and tweeter, while a 3-way
system includes a midrange, tweeter and woofer/subwoofer.
Midranges, like tweeters, are directional and require a similar "line of sight" location. In
addition, a tweeter should be located as close as possible to its corresponding midrange
driver to assure good sound cohesion. Woofer and subwoofer drivers are generally
considered non-directional due to the nature of the low frequencies they produce;
therefore, their placement is less critical. Carefully consider the layout of your entire
system before installing any speaker components.
The TS10 is a high performance tweeter which reproduces the upper portion of the
audible frequency range. As such, it should be mounted in locations which provide a
direct line of sight path to the listener's ear. Ideal locations include dashboard and upper
areas of door and side panels.
The included mounting adapters provided with this kit allow surface, flush or angled
mounting. Experiment with tweeter placement to determine best location before
permenantly mounting tweeters in vehicle.

TS10 INSTALLATION
Mounting
Wiring
Connect the tweeter as shown in the wiring diagram. Improper
connections will cause damage not covered by the product warranty.
Tweeters have been designed for flush,
surface or 30 degree mounting. Flush
mounting, which provides a custom
appearance, requires 1" of clearance behind
mounting surface. If sufficient clearance is not
available, the included mounting kit allows
tweeter to be mounted to the surface of the
vehincle's interior. Tweeters can be mounted
straight or at an angle depending on the
adapter selected.
Connection
The illuminite lighting elements of your TS series products provide you with a unique
custom touch to your vehicle. Dual’s patent pending illuminite bulb system and control
circuitry provides an extraordinary lighted-Hue illumination which allows great creative
opportunities for the beginner and seasoned custom installer alike. The interior of your
vehicle will never sound or look ordinary again. Let your imagination take you there.
The lighting features of all illuminite products require a 12 volt DC power source to
operate. The speaker has two distinct sets of input terminals. The first is labeled audio
input terminals and the second is labeled illuminite lighting inputs. The inputs are clearly
marked with a label positioned directly above the terminal housing. The polarity (+ and -)
indicators for each set of inputs also appear on these labels.
1. Do not connect Amplifier or any audio source to illuminite lighting inputs. Inputs
are designed for switched 12 volt DC power source only.
2. See fig. 1a, (illustrates wiring diagram) be sure to maintain polarity. Be sure to
connect to a constant switched 12 volt DC source. Correct connection would be
the positive (+) 12 volt wire to the Positive (+) illuminite Lighting input terminal
and connect the Negative (-) illuminite lighting input terminal to a good chassis
ground.
Notice: The Illuminite™ series LED illumination elements are not removable. There
are no serviceable parts inside or attached to the speaker assembly. The Illuminite™
series products are sensitive electronic devices. Removal or tampering with any part or
portion of the speaker and/or its assemblies will damage the product and void the limited
warranty.
