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. Other sources such as Satellite Receivers, CD
Players, MP3 Players, and any other IR Controlled audio source can be patched into the RCA source inputs on
the rear panel (FIG. 1).

Tango Series Audio Controllers
Installation
Overview
Tango Series Controllers can be installed in a number of configurations depending on your audio needs. The
capacity of a single unit is 8 independent zones and is typically wired with at least one Keypad or DAS-IRRXSWT Stealth IR Receiver located in each zone. In some cases it is desirable to operate a second set of speakers
within the same zone controlled by the same Keypad.
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.
A system installation will go much faster and more smoothly if job plans are completed prior to the actual
installation. Accurate record keeping will assist not only in the installation but also in training the client in the
operation of the system. This will also be a great tool for any future servicing issues that may arise.
We recommend that you make copies of the records, and leave them behind with your client, and put one copy
in your client’s file.
Installation
Rack-Mounting
Tango Audio Controllers occupy two rack spaces in a standard 19" equipment rack. Rack mounting brackets
and screws are located in the accessories box supplied with the Controllers.
Exercise extreme care when lifting or moving Tango Audio Controllers within the rack
to avoid injury. It is recommended that you seek the assistance of another person
when rack mounting Tango Audio Controllers.
1. Attach the rack mounting brackets to each side of the Tango Audio Controller using four M4 screws
(supplied) for each bracket.
To prevent injury the Tango Audio Controller must be securely attached to the rack in
accordance with the installation instructions.
ALWAYS use the special rack mount brackets supplied and high quality fixing screws
to ensure the Tango Audio Controller is installed in the rack correctly.
2. Place the Controller in the equipment rack and hold steady.
3. Secure the Controller in the rack using the mounting holes.
DO NOT stand other units directly on top of the Tango Audio Controller when it is rack
mounted, as this will place excessive strain on the mounting brackets.
Ventilation
Always ensure that the rack enclosure is adequately ventilated.
Sufficient airflow must be achieved (by convection or forced-air cooling) to satisfy the ventilation
requirements of all the items of equipment installed within the rack.

Speaker Wire Technology (SWT)
Speaker Wire Technology (SWT) allows both data and audio signals to travel over the same four conductor
wire. 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. Additionally,
the versatility of SWT also allows AMX Matrix Audio products to be connected where the control wire has
been run separately from the speaker cable.
Cabling Installation Instructions
Be sure to check for any wiring restrictions required by the electrical code in your
area.
This installation uses low voltage cabling similar to telephone and alarm wiring, and as such does not
commonly have very many restrictions on their installation. However rules may vary in different regions.
Cable Type
The Tango Controller is cabled using standard 4-conductor speaker cable originating at the Tango Controller,
passing through the Keypad, and terminating at the speaker location. AMX generally recommends using a
bundled 4-conductor 16-gauge stranded copper wire in a single continuous run.

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.
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. 3).
FIG. 3 Connecting Sources (Audio IN/OUT)
Connecting IR Outputs
Tango Controllers provide eight 3.5mm mono IR Output jacks for CC-NIRC NetLinx IR Emitter Cables
(supplied). Commands received by the Tango Controller from the Metreau keypads are processed and sent via
the IR Emitter Cable to the controlled device.
CC-NIRC NetLinx IR Emitter Cables attach to the controlled audio device’s IR sensor with double-sided tape
(included), and connect to the Tango Controller via the IR OUTPUT jacks on the rear panel (FIG. 4).
FIG. 4 Connecting IR Output to an IR Sensor on a controlled audio device
Tango controllers support RC5 and RC6 IR codes. Codes that fall outside of this
range may not function with the Controller.
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.

Controller with the ability to control the Zone Expander (see FIG. 10).
2. Set the Address switch on the rear panel of the Zone Expander to "1" if the Zone Expander services zones
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.
3. Connect the source inputs. Patch each source from the source output on the Tango controller to the source
inputs on the Zone Expander.
Ensure the left and right source connections are properly matched and seated to the
left and right terminals of the both the Tango Controll er and the Zone Expander.
For example, Source 1 Output, on the Tango Controller to Source 1 Input on the Zone
Expander).
Continue this procedure until each source is connected.
4. Paging Inputs are for Phone Systems or Communications Boxes. If the paging override is used, connect
the paging output loop from the Tango Controller to the Zone Expander (see FIG. 10).
5. Connect the keypads to the Tango Controller and Zone Expander(s). Following the same wiring code you
used at each of the keypad locations, plug each SWT connector into the desired Zone Output connectors
on the Tango Controller and Zone Expanders (see FIG. 10).
6. SWT Speakers connect to the Tango Controller via the SPEAKERS connector on the SWT keypads. See
the Connecting Zone Outputs section on page 7 for details.
Alternatively, you can terminate the speakers directly to the back of the Controller. Speakers
connected directly to the zone output must be common grounded.

Tango Series Audio Controllers
On-Board AM/FM Tuner Module
Tango Controllers come equipped with one DAS-AMFM AM/FM Tuner Module (FG1110-01). Additionally,
you can install a second Tuner Module, as an optional accessory.
Refer to the DAS-AMFM Installation Guide for detailed installation instructions.
The Tuner Modules take up the first (and second if two Tuner Modules are installed) source input on the Tango
Controller.
Each source component is selected using the appropriate button on the keypad, remote or other interface which
corresponds to one of the Tango Controller’s audio device inputs (labeled as: input 1, input 2, and input 3
respectively).
Just as a radio is incapable of playing two different stations at the same time, if
multiple zones are listening to the same source, they will be listening to the same
music. Consider multiple components of the same type (such as the tuner) if different
zones wish to listen to different radio stations at the same time.
Antenna Installation
The DAS-AMFM tuner requires a 75ohm F-type connection to receive FM stations. Connect a
75ohm antenna source into the 75ohm antenna input located on the back of the Controller.
The DAS-AMFM tuner requires an AM antenna loop to receive AM stations. Connect the loop
antenna source into the AM antenna input located on the back of the Controller.
Antennas should only be installed indoors.
Refer to the Tuner Modules section on page 39 for details.
Connecting the RS-232 Serial Port
Tango Audio Controllers provide an RS-232 (DB9) port for receiving RS-232 Controller Commands. Refer to
the RS-232 Controller Command Messages section on page 61 for a complete listing of supported commands.
Connector: DB9 Male
Communications: 9600 Baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity
All messages are sent using ASCII text strings. Every command and status message is terminated with a line
feed (0x0A or 10). All messages are case sensitive.
The Tango Audio Controller will respond to the command messages sent by the Host PC and will not send any
messages except in this case. If the Host sends a new message before the Controller has responded to the
previous message, the Controller will ignore the new message.
The Host should always start its communication with the Controller by sending a “Get Configuration”
command to determine the capabilities of the unit it is controlling.
Not all Matrix Controllers support all of the functionality which is specified in the Command Definition.
Commands must be in UPPERCASE • Valid Commands do not require CR/LF
Valid Commands are confirmed with “Command Issued”
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.
