Wireless Antenna – For use with Wi-Fi®, the antenna
should always be pointing straight up, in a vertical
position during normal usage. For instance, if you
plan to use it as a tabletop system turn the antenna
counter clockwise until the antenna is standing
upright. See Figure 1. When installed in a wall or a
cabinet, the antenna should be turned upright in the
vertical position. See Figure 2.
Status Light Indicator – Used for setting up
and troubleshooting your AZSS1. Refer to the
troubleshooting guide section of the manual.
Mounting Bracket Holes – Used for in-wall
installation with supplied mounting bracket and
screws. See page 7 for installation instructions.

WARNING: This product should not be mounted in any
box that also has electrical products such as light switches
or outlets installed. Electrical interference from a light
switch or outlet can create unwanted background noise
on your audio signal.
IMPORTANT: It is not recommended to mount multiple
AZSS1’s next to each other when connecting over Wi-Fi.
Installing multiple wireless AZSS1’s near each other could
effect their ability to connect wirelessly to the MC1.
DANGER: Avoid all electrical wiring when cutting the rough
opening. Failure to do so may result in serious injury
or death.
STEP 1
Identify a place to install the AZSS1 in the wall.
STEP 2
Cut out a rough opening into the wall and install a single
gang low voltage ring and tighten it down.
STEP 3
Pull the power and other audio wires to the new audio location.
STEP 4
Locate the in-wall mounting bracket that came with the AZSS1.
Align the in-wall mounting bracket so that it lines up properly
with the front panel of the AZSS1. Locate the small screws from
the installation package. Secure the in-wall mounting bracket
to the front of the AZSS1.
STEP 5
Make all wiring connections as shown, then insert the AZSS1
with bracket into the single gang low-voltage ring.
STEP 6
With the AZSS1 securely mounted, plug the AZPS1 into an
outlet. The AZSS1 takes approximately one minute to complete
its power up cycle. The AZSS1 Installation is complete.

The AZSS1 is designed to be installed as a replacement for
existing volume controls .
When installed as a VC replacement, the speakers are
connected to the AZSS1 the same way as they were to the
VC. The Power Supply is located at the speaker home run.
The existing speaker wires going to the home run deliver
power to the AZSS1.

Audio Applications
When setting up a Stand-alone
application be sure the home network
router is Wi-Fi Protected Setup™
enabled.
All Audio zones feature wireless and
wired networking so that you can
choose which method will work the
best for your application.
The MC1 can have up to 4 wired TiO
elements routed directly to it. If you
want to hard wire more Audio zones
simply add a capable network switch
to the connection.

Stand-alone application: The TiO Streaming Audio Players can be congured as a Stand-alone single zone or be tied to a
MasterCoordinator for true Multi-space applications. When installed as a single space, conguration is still completed through
the TiO Pro App and it communicates directly to the Audio Player, through the home network with a wired or wireless connection.
Multi-space applications: For this application, the addition of a MasterCoordinator is required. Conguration is completed through
the TiO Pro App and Audio Zones can be installed for wired or wireless applications.
