Installation Guide  
DAS-T0804X/8X-SIG Tango Zone Expanders  
Rack-Mounting  
Overview  
Tango units occupy two rack spaces in a standard 19" equipment rack. Rack  
mounting brackets are supplied with the optional Rack-Mount Installation Kit  
(FG1101-60).  
Tango Zone Expanders (FIG. 1) are used to expand the number of zones in the  
system beyond the 4 or 8 that are available using the Tango Audio Controllers.  
Note: Exercise extreme care when lifting or moving Tango units within the rack  
to avoid injury. It is recommended that you seek the assistance of another  
person when rack mounting Tango units.  
1.  
Attach the rack mounting brackets to each side of the Tango unit using the  
four screws (10-32 Panhead Phillips - supplied with the Tango unit) for  
each bracket.  
Note: To prevent injury the Tango unit must be securely attached to the  
rack in accordance with the installation instructions. ALWAYS use the spe-  
cial rack mount brackets supplied and high quality fixing screws to ensure  
the Tango unit is installed in the rack correctly.

2.  
3.  
Place the Tango unit in the equipment rack and hold steady.  
Secure the Tango unit in the rack using the mounting holes.  
Note: DO NOT stand other units directly on top of the Tango unit when it is  
rack mounted, as this will place excessive strain on the mounting brackets.  
Ventilation  
To ensure that the rack enclosure is adequately ventilated, there must be a  
minimum of 3" all around the Tango unit.  
Paging IN/OUT  
Zone Outputs (up to 8)  
Power Switch & Receptacle  
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.  
FIG. 1 Tango Zone Expanders (DAS-T0808X-SIG shown)  
Each Zone Expander has the capability of offering 4 or 8 zones per  
Expander.  
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  
Distributed Audio is the only company that offers a “retrofit solution”, one which  
allows the replacement of volume controls with AMX Distributed Audio keypads  
and Controllers, giving full control over the sources. Additionally, the versatility of  
SWT also allows AMX Distributed Audio products to be connected where the  
control wire has been run separately from the speaker cable.  
Up to 7 Zone Expanders may be used in the system, offering the ability to  
expand the system to 64 zones.

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.

Blue light bar indicates power status.  
Blue LEDs indicate active zones.  
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 recommends using a bundled 4-conductor 16-  
gauge stranded copper wire in a single continuous run.

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.  
• Paging In/Out Ports  
RCA jacks to connect to Paging devices (any audio input  
can be used as a paging device). The Paging device con-  
nects to the Controller via the "Paging In" connector. The  
“Paging Out” connector is used to carry the page to Zone  
Expander(s).  
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).
