  • Page 13: Tango Series Audio Controllers

    Tango Series Audio Controllers Overview The Tango Series of Audio Controllers allow centralized control of common audio equipment for up to 4 or 8 independently controlled audio zones per Controller. Each Tango Controller is capable of controlling the source via Metreau Keypad, RS-232, IP address (via the optional Ethernet Module), SWT Speakers (equipped with IR receivers), or the MIO R-4 AUDIO IR remote control.
  • Page 14: Product Specifications

    Tango Series Audio Controllers Product Specifications The following table provides technical specifications for the Tango Audio Controllers. Unless otherwise noted, these specifications apply to both the DAS-T0804-SIG and DAS-T0808-SIG models.

    Each audio zone can be configured with either 2 pushbutton keypads (Numeric or Source), or 1 LCD Keypad and 1 pushbutton Keypad, but not 2 LCD keypads. Each Tango Controller can power 2 sets of speakers as long as the impedance does not drop below 4 ohms.
  • Page 18: Speaker Wire Technology (Swt)

    This remarkable technology removes the need for control wire since the control and audio signals are shared on the same wire. The reliability and simplicity of this system has been proven for years. AMX Matrix Audio is the only company that offers a “retrofit solution”, one which allows the replacement of volume controls with AMX Matrix Audio keypads and Controllers, giving full control over the sources.
  • Page 19: Connecting Sources (Audio Inputs/Outputs)

    Connecting Sources (Audio Inputs/Outputs) Up to eight audio devices can be connected to the Tango Controllers 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.

    Connecting Tango Zone Expanders Tango Zone Expanders (FIG. 9) are used to expand the number of zones in the system beyond the 8 that are available using the Tango Controller. Each Tango Zone Expander has the capability of offering either 4 or 8 zones per Zone Expander.
  • Page 22 9 – 16, set to "2" for zones 17 – 24 and so on until all seven Zone Expanders are utilized (see FIG. 10). Refer to the Zone Expander Addressing section on page 11 for further details. Connect the source inputs. Patch each source from the source output on the Tango controller to the source inputs on the Zone Expander.
  • Page 23: Zone Expander Addressing

    Refer to the Tango Zone Expanders Installation Guide for additional details. Zone Expander Addressing Use the 7-position Address switch (FIG. 11) on the rear panel of the Tango Zone Expanders to set the Address for each Expander, according to the values in the following tables: Address 1 FIG.

    Invalid commands are responded to with “ERROR” RS-232 Cable When connecting to the RS-232 port located on the back of the Tango Controller, it is necessary to use a DB9 cable. Tango Controllers utilize DCE protocol therefore no NULL modem adapter is necessary. You may also use a USB to DB9 adapter.
