Need Professional Help?
Please read this owners guide carefully before installation. Failure to follow
these instructions fully or incorrect installation may damage your new TIC
products and any third party equipment used in your new system installation.
This may also Void any Warranty for your new TIC products. If you are unsure
of your ability to fully understand and fully complete the installation of this TIC
product, please consult a professional installer.
Note: TIC Corporation always recommends that you test your product and its
components prior to exterior installation. Test your components near a mains
power and, if required, receiver amplifiers source somewhere convenient,
perhaps inside after unpacking. Ensure all components are working smoothly
and correctly before exterior placement and operation.

Before you begin the installation of your new TIC outdoor product, please
carefully select the locations of your new TIC products noting any impediments
or obstacles in the wiring path(s).
In general;
1. Select a reasonably clean, reasonably structurally sound surface for
the mounting and installation of your new TIC outdoor patio speakers.
This will prevent movement or excessive vibration during use. This will
also ensure more uniform sound dispersion.
2. Ensure your new TIC outdoor speaker cables or power source if
required, can easily reach your new speakers. Ensuring that there are
no obstructions or difficulties such as concrete paths or architectural
feature(s) impediments. If the cable is surface mounted you must make
sure the cable is placed where it cannot be tripped over, pulled,
abraded, pierced or crushed.
3. Wherever possible avoid long term exposure of your new TIC outdoor
speakers to chlorinated solvents, acids such as those often contained
in fertilizers and other solvents which have the potential to eventually
wear the speaker components prematurely.
4. When installing either burial cable or TIC’s in-ground outdoor speakers
please be very aware of any existing in-wall cable, submerged
plumbing, piping such as sprinklers or irrigation pipes and any sub-
surface wiring already in place.
Carefully unpack and check all components
Run speaker test prior to exterior use or installation

A note on Speaker Cable;
TIC recommends the use of our SPC30, 50 or 100’ double insulated high
quality speaker cable, however just about any reasonable speaker cable may
be used including existing runs that may be in place. For standard 8Ω
installations of 10 –50ft., just about any 14/16 gauges 2 core cables can
usually be used although we would prefer a double insulated or burial spec
cable be used. For longer runs of 50 –100ft. 12 gauge cable can be used
however resistance down the line will become a contributing factor.
Please visit TIC Corporations website at www.ticcorp.com and review the
Audio Installation Basics articles under Technical Resources for more in depth
exterior audio and cable guidelines.
An Important note on Polarity!
Pleasure proper polarity when connecting your new TIC outdoor speakers.
This is very important and will result in poor sound reproduction and possibly
equipment damage if not connected correctly. This is normally avoided by
ensuring + to + and –to –or as sometimes color coded Red to Red and Black
to Black from your amplified source to your speakers respectively.
5. Once you have checked the components and tested the system ready
for exterior install, recheck your cable runs carefully marking the correct
channel for each speaker.
6. Mount your speakers carefully using the supplied mounting brackets for
each patio speaker.
7. Connect you new TIC Patio Speakers at the speaker end first ensuring
enough “play” in the cable to allow angle adjustment as necessary.
8. Reconnect the speakers to your receiver amplifier being careful to
ensure correct “Polarity” (+ to + and –to –)matching.
9. TIC speakers are factory pre-set to standard 8Ω.
10. *for 70v commercial systems please note diagram below;
TIC ASP60 & ASP120 models only

Once connected properly, test the system at low volume first and then, sit back
and enjoy another successful installation of a TIC outdoor product!
Disclaimer;
TIC Corporation will in no way be held responsible for the improper or
unsecured installation of this product. Any and all damage arising from the
installation or use of this product is the purchaser and final installer’s sole
responsibility.

Occasional maintenance of your TIC products cannot hurt and may help
greatly. Inspect the installation area regularly removing and twigs, dirt or
particulate matter from impeding or building up around the output grill area. The
units may be cleaned using very mild detergents like dishwashing liquid if
desired. A hose with clean water may also be used but please avoid using high
pressure or forcing water into the grill or acoustic ports.
In very cold climates with moderate to heavy snowfall an old trick from the
major theme parks we supply world wide is to place a plastic bag over the unit
for the winter or periods it may be not in use or under such snowfall.

Problem
Please Check
No Sound
Check the speakers are connected to the cable
correctly.
Check the speaker cable is connected to the receiver
amplifier correctly.
Check the receiver amplifier is powered “on” at the
mains, is not on “mute”, has no headphones attached
and that the Channels used for the exterior speakers
(usually A or B) is in operation.
Refer to the owners guide that came with your
receiver amplifier.
Most initial problems are simple connectivity, please
try a different connection cable to your outdoor
speakers or equipment.
No Sound from one
speaker
Check the “balance” control on your receiver
amplifier.
Check all connections and cable to the inoperable
speaker.
1. Disconnect the “working” speaker from the receiver
amplifier connection/ channel. Switch the cord from
the non-operating speaker from its current connection
to the “working” speaker connection. If the speaker
now works the problem is your receiver amplifier.
2. Reconnect as original. Remove the speaker cable
at the “working” speaker directly and connect it
directly to the non-working speaker. If the speaker
now works the problem is somewhere in the original
speaker cable.
3. If the speaker still does not work the problem is the
speaker.
One speaker
sounds distorted,
lower volume or
“different”
Follow same procedure as above for “No Sound”.
Treble or Bass
Check the “tone” setting on your receiver amplifier.
Adjust the Treble and Bass settings on your receiver
amplifier.
Check the connections carefully from the amplifier to
your speakers and ensure correct Phase (+ to + and
–to –accordingly). Poor sound replication is
expected from a speakers or speakers out of polarity
or phase.
