The StealthStream™1 connects to your home network and offers access to all of today’s popular music
services. If that’s not enough, just connect any Bluetooth-enabled device and stream your favorite audio music.
The AZSS1’s stealth design allows the robust player to be hidden out of sight. Powered by an integrated 100-
watt amplifier, the AZSS1 provides outstanding sound quality but fits in the palm of your hand! In fact, it’s so
compact that it installs into a standard, single-gang opening.
The StealthStream™1 can also be used as a standalone music player and be directly controlled from the TiO
Home mobile App. For more information see page (10)
Go Small or Go Home: Its compact size (1.88”H x 2.75”W x 3.90”D) makes it the smallest audio zone player

streams throughout the house. Want jazz in the kitchen, punk on the porch and classical in the office? No
problem, the AZSS1 has you covered.
Party On!: TiO’s StreamShare™ feature can synchronize and control up to 6 zone players—all from one
central location for all your party needs!

Installation
Wi-Fi Radio Antenna – 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. When installed in a wall or a cabinet, the antenna
should be turned upright once again, to point straight up in the vertical position
Speaker Wire Connector – The AZSS1 speaker connector is removable for easier access. Grasp
either side of the speaker connector and pull the connector from the back of the AZSS1. Loosen the
four screws before attempting to connect the speaker wire. With your speaker wire ends trimmed
back 1/4” inch (.64 cm) insert each pair of speaker wires and tighten down each screw ( + positive
speaker wire on the outside most terminal and the – negative speaker wire on the inside terminal).
