Connecting Sources (Audio Inputs/Outputs)

Up to 8 audio devices can be connected to the Tango Zone Expanders via the Sources INPUT and OUTPUT
RCA connectors on the rear panel (see FIG. 1 on page 1). Industry standard RCA connectors provide line-level
input and output connections for devices such as CD, DSS, MP3 players etc.
Each audio input has a corresponding buffered output used to connect the audio sources to additional Tango
Controllers or to other devices that share the audio sources (FIG. 2).

Connecting Zone Outputs

Tango Controllers can be accessed by SWT Metreau keypads (DAS-MET6SRC and DAS-MET-NUM) to
provide basic transport control, source selection and volume up and down, as well as enhanced controls
including direct access capability, favorite's source selection, zone grouping, alarm clock setting, and Keypad
lockout.
The Matrix Numeric (DAS-KP series) and LCD Keypads (DAS-KP-LCD series) are
also supported by Tango Controllers.

SWT Connectors

SWT cabling follows a specific pinout configuration that is labelled on the Tango Controller, Metreau keypads,
