Installation Guide
DAS-TAMP4/8-SIG
Tango Amplifiers
Overview
Use the DAS-TAMP4-SIG and DAS-TAMP8-SIG Tango Amplifiers (FIG. 1) in
conjunction with Tango Audio Controllers to increase the total number of audio
outputs available to each Controller, per Zone.
Note that each Output on the Tango Amplifier represents two audio channels.
• The
DAS-TAMP4-SIG
is a 4-channel amplifier that provides two Outputs.
• The
DAS-TAMP8-SIG
is an 8-channel amplifier that provides four Outputs.
Tango Amplifiers connect to the Tango Controller via one of the Zone Output
connectors on the Controller, and provide either two or four additional Outputs
for that single audio Zone.
Features
• High-quality sound - delivers 60 watts of high-quality sound per channel.
• Expandable - stack up to three Tango amplifiers units per zone to allow up
to 24 channels in a single zone (using the DAS-TAMP8-SIG).
• Easy installation - SWT (Speaker Wire Technology) makes installation
simple using four-conductor speaker wire.
• Integrates with Tango Series, Delta Series and Mi Series controllers, as
well as the W, C, C-DT and EL Series speakers.

Wiring and Connections
Front and Rear Panel Components
FIG. 2 provides views of the front and rear panels of the Tango amplifiers.
Note that the front panel is identical for both Tango amps, and the only
difference on the rear panel is the number of OUTPUT connectors (2 on the
DAS-TAMP4-SIG, or 4 on the DAS-TAMP8-SIG).
Note that each Output on the Tango Amplifier represents two audio channels.
Cabling Instructions
This installation uses low voltage cabling. Prior to installation, be sure to check
for any wiring restrictions required by the electrical code in your area.
The Tango amplifier is cabled using standard four-conductor speaker cable
originating at the Tango Controller, passing through the Keypad, and terminating
at the speaker location.
AMX recommends using a bundled four-conductor 16-gauge stranded copper
wire in a single continuous run.
