Product Description

The Original Omni Outdoor Speaker - The Best and Most Trusted Outdoor Sound for Over 30 Years

Originally launched as the “Omni Outdoor Speaker” in 1989, the GS-3 speaker is TIC’s flagship product. It continues our long tradition of manufacturing speakers for outdoor living. It is the most widely used outdoor speaker for landscapers, commercial contractors, and home users. The oversized housing allows a good bases response without the use of sound ports. The reflection cone creates a omni-directional sound source. This allows the landscape to be immersed with music without hotspots. Every aspect of the speaker is designed for exterior use. The color is designed to blend in with your lawn or shrubs. An oversized dome protects the speaker from rain and snow. The speaker cone is made of weather-resistant ASB polypropylene to ensure your speaker lasts through the seasons.

MUSIC NEVER LOOKED THIS GOOD!

Proven Long-lasting Speaker Design

For over 35 years, GS-series speaker's water-proof design and durable ASB polypropylene housing has been proven to survive any outdoor environment from the harshest winter to the hottest summer.

Omni

Amazing 360° Outdoor Sound

GS-series speaker's omni-directional sound will provide an even sound distribution that allows a wide variety of landscapes to be immersed with deep bass and dynamic musical range.

A+ sound and wireless control on a budget!!!
These speakers have met/exceeded my expectations. I was considering the Bose free space, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend THAT much on something that would be exposed to all sorts of weather conditions and could possibly be stolen. I discovered (w/a little research) that I could hardwire these w/ 12-2 gauge landscape wire (speaker wire is too high and this is the same thing) to my 17 year old Kenwood receiver. My receiver is located in the living room so I ran wire from the back of the receiver, through the floor, through the crawlspace and into the backyard. I buried each speaker on opposite ends of my flower bed and attached them both to the landscape wire. I buried all of this wire in the ground. What makes it all work is the hockey puck shaped $30 Chromecast audio device. I attached it to the CD inputs on the receiver. You then connect it to your Wi-Fi router. This allows me to control the backyard speakers on my phone or iPad via my Wi-Fi connection. Most of my music is on Spotify so I just go to Spotify and then select where I want to play it. The speakers really sound outstanding w/nice bass, highs and mids. I took a video to try and capture the sound, but it really doesn't do it justice so I'm going to leave it off. All of my friends are audio snobs so everybody was suggesting the Sonos connect and/or the wireless Bose free space...all of which would have cost almost 10 times as much. Keep in mind that I do not have the Bose free space sitting side-by-side to compare. I would expect the Bose to sound better, but I doubt it would have sounded 10 times better because that's how much more it would have cost me. I'm happy to have saved a ton of money that I can spend elsewhere in my yard.
