Connecting SWT Speakers
SWT Speakers are different from other speakers available on the market. They
allow you to control a single zone of audio without a keypad being installed.
Therefore, some different wiring practices must be considered for proper
operation and control.
This is achieved by “daisy-chaining” from the first speaker to the second
speaker. The main run of 16/4 from the controller will go directly to the first
speaker in the zone.
SWT cabling follows the pinout configuration shown in FIG. 4:
• At the controller end, the wiring is left-to-right: L D G R.
• At the speaker end, refer to the labeling on speaker PCB to ensure the
correct wiring.
The labelling at both ends must match or the IR control will not work (i.e.: if you
used the RED wire for the Left Audio labelled “L” at the zone output, you must
use the RED wire for the pin labelled “L” on the speaker connector).
Note: Be sure to screw the connector down to the speaker crossover board
before installing and securing in the ceiling. This will ensure that the connector
will not disconnect after installation.
A single run of 16/2 must be run from the first speaker to the second speaker.
Connecting Non-SWT Speakers
Each speaker has a Red (positive) terminal and a Black (negative) terminal.
Connect the appropriate wire from the keypad to Red and Black terminals on the
Left and Right speakers, as with any standard speaker installation.
Connecting To a Tango Audio Controller
Connect the amplifier to the Audio Controller via the 4-pin connector labelled
From Controller on the rear panel of the amplifier (see FIG. 5).
Connecting SWT Keypads
Connect SWT Keypads (DAS-MET-6SRC or K-Series) to the amplifier via the
SWT connector labelled To Keypad on the rear panel of the amplifier (see
FIG. 5).
Note: When stripping cable for use with SWT connector, only strip away about
¼” (6mm) of the insulation from each wire. The complete assembly should not
have more than 1/32” (1mm) of bare wire exposed from the bottom of the
connector.

FIG. 5 illustrates the connections from a Mi Audio Controller, and to SWT
Speakers and Metreau (SWT) Keypad.
Wiring Diagram - Expanded Configuration
FIG. 6 illustrates stacking up to three Tango amplifiers, to allow up to 12 Outputs
(24 channels) in a single Zone:
Note: Only one Keypad is allowed per Zone.
To "stack" Tango amplifiers, connect the To Keypad connector on the first Tango
amplifier to the From Controller connector on the second amplifier. To add a
third Amp to the configuration, connect the To Keypad connector on the second
Amp to the From Controller connector on the third Amp.
The Metreau (SWT) Keypad can be connected serially between the Audio
Controller and the first Amp, or between the first and second Amp, or between
the second and third Amp, or to the To Keypad port on Amp #3 (as shown in
FIG. 6).
• Only one Keypad can be connected in one Zone.
• The Output connectors on the Amplifier are not SWT connectors, and do
not carry a data signal. Therefore, IR control through SWT speakers
connected to the amplifier is not possible. IR Control is achieved via the
Metreau (SWT) Keypad.
