Outdoor rooms have become one of the hottest new trends in backyards today, and a beautiful backyard setting surrounded by plants, hardscapes and surfaces that mimic nature are an integral part. Why spoil the natural beauty with an outdoor speaker that looks out of place? Tic's Terra-Forms Pro Outdoor Rock Speakers blend beautifully with any exterior garden setting, enhancing both your visual and audio experience with music and garden art.

Designed and constructed of the latest aerospace-grade composite materials, these rugged rock speakers are built tough to withstand external conditions yet are lightweight enough to easily move around. (One speaker weighs 6 to 18 pounds, depending on the model.) Also designed for outdoors is the Teflon-sealed internal cabinetry and high-quality 4.5kHz speaker crossover with weatherproof speaker driver for trouble-free performance. Included in the package is an all-weather, double-insulated 14/2 burial speaker cable. Depending on the model, the outdoor rock speaker can be mounted either on the surface or by sinking it from 1 to 3 inches into the garden soil or surface. We found that sinking the unit slightly helped to stabilize the enclosure and produce a cleaner, more vibrant sound quality.

Speaking of sound quality, we were impressed with the full range of clear 180-degree sound, though we did notice that the exterior speaker received a lower frequency level due to the waterproof materials used in the speaker components and cones. We tested three different models: The TFS10 and TFS11, which are equipped with a 2-inch aluminum cone tweeter and full range 150-watt driver; and the TFS12, which also has a 2-inch aluminum cone tweeter with a 200-watt driver and full 2-channel sound from a single source stereo speaker. Terra-Forms rock speakers are available in canyon, slate or white granite stone finishes.

Whether you want to escape city noise or the sounds of the suburbs, Tic Terra-Forms Pro Outdoor Rock Speakers can enhance your outdoor environment with your favorite sounds. While you're at it, you might even pop in a CD with bird songs and experience nature to its fullest.


Pros: High performance sound in an exterior rock speaker system, realistic natural stone finish blends with any exterior garden setting, high-quality 4.5kHz speaker crossover and weatherproof speaker driver to withstand outdoor conditions, full range of clear 180-degree sound, 8-inch coaxial river for powerful sound, constructed of aerospace-grade composite materials
Cons: Waterproof materials used in the Tic outdoor speaker components, cones and the resistance in long exterior outdoor speaker cable runs lowers frequency level received by exterior speakers
