Tango Series Audio Controllers
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
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.
