Tango Series Audio Controllers
Remote Amplifier Configuration
In some cases, especially where the distance between the Tango Controller and the zone is unusually long,
such as another building on the property i.e. cottage-to-boathouse for example, it is sometimes desirable to
have a remote amplifier at the zone end.
You may install a DAS-LLC to accomplish this task or you may build your own. FIG. 18 shows the
construction of a simple circuit of discrete components to reduce the Tango Controller output to “line- level”
so that it can be fed into an auxiliary amplifier.
2 Wire Configurations – Keypad for Control Only
In some retrofit configurations it is not feasible or possible to re-route the speaker cable through the Keypad. In
cases such as this, it is possible to run a separate cable pair (CAT- 3 / CAT- 5 / Twisted Pair) cable from the
Tango Controller to the Keypad device for control purposes. FIG. 19 shows the connections of the control
signal path to the Keypad, and the speaker connections to the Tango Controller.
