Wiring and Connections
Overview - 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.
Front and Rear Panel Components
FIG. 1 provides views of the front and rear panels of the DAS-AMP4/8 Carbon XA Amplifiers.
Note that the front panel is identical for both Tango Amps, and the only difference between the two relative to
the rear panel is the number of Zone Outputs (2 on the DAS-AMP4, or 4 on the DAS-AMP8).
Cabling 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.
