Pre-Installation…  
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 amplifier source somewhere convenient,  
perhaps inside. Ensure all components are working smoothly and correctly  
before exterior placement and operation.  
Exterior Installation…  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Before you begin the installation of your new TIC outdoor product, please  
carefully select the locations of your new TIC products.  
In general;  
1. Select a reasonably level surface for the installation of your new TIC  
outdoor speakers. For surface 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. Some people even pre-  
lay string as a guide ensuring that there are no obstructions or  
difficulties such as concrete paths or architectural feature impediments.  
While most if not all TIC outdoor speakers use and recommend burying  
the cable lightly 4-6 inches, if the cable is surface mounted you must  
make sure the cable is placed where it cannot be tripped over, pulled,  
abraded or crushed.  
3. Do not place your TIC outdoor speakers in a depression or area where  
water pools or in the direct path of sprinklers.  
4. 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 components prematurely.  
5. When installing either burial cable or TIC’s in-ground outdoor speakers  
please be very aware of any submerged plumbing, piping such as  
sprinklers or irrigation and wiring already in existence.  
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 8  
installations of 10 – 25ft., just about any 16/18 gauge 2 core cables can usually  
be used although we would prefer a double insulated or burial spec cable be  
used. For longer runs of 25 – 100ft. 10/14 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.

Before actually sinking the cable, run the cable from your unit to the power  
source or amplifier. Ensure your cable run avoids any obstacles such as  
sunken sprinkler pipes or piping and electrical cable to your house. Once the  
cable runs are where you like them, connect your speakers and power source  
to ensure correct operation before sinking the cable. Disconnect the cable wire  
at both ends and continue.  
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.  
Once you have tested your cable run in step 3, it is time to sink the cable. 4-6”  
of cover is normally recommended to offset accidental disturbance, movement  
of the earth etc. but your specific onsite conditions will apply. Should you wish  
to secure the installation of your unit then simply clamp, by way of a “U” spike  
etc. the cable directly beneath the unit.  
Reconnect the speakers and your receiver amplifier being careful to ensure  
correct “Polarity” matching.

Once connected properly, fill in all trenches, sit back and enjoy!  
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.  
Maintenance…  
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.

Installation Notes…  
1. The TIC GS10 Omni Speaker model requires no in-ground speaker or  
cable installation. This omni speaker unit is often used portably and is  
only permanently installed to the customer’s specification.  
2. The GS5L & GS7 models also provide a gentle 360° light using a low  
voltage 25W/ 12v, lamp. This also requires you to connect the low  
voltage lighting transformer.

Trouble Shooting…  
Problem  
Please Check  
Check the speakers are connected to the cable  
correctly.  
No Sound  
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 connectivity, please try a  
different connection cable to your outdoor speakers  
or equipment.  
Check the “balance” control on your receiver  
amplifier.  
Check all connections and cable to the inoperable  
speaker.  
No Sound from one  
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  
Follow same procedure as above for “No Sound”.  
volume or “different”  
Check the “tone” setting on your receiver amplifier.  
Adjust the Treble and Bass settings on your receiver  
amplifier.  
Treble or Bass  
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.
