The DAS-T0804-SIG can control 8 sources and distributes audio to 4 rooms/zones. • DAS-T0808-SIG (FG1103-02) - Tango 8-Source, 8-Zone Audio Controller. The DAS-T0808-SIG can control 8 sources and distributes audio to 8 rooms/zones. Both Tango Controllers are expandable to 64 zones via Tango Zone Expanders. Product Specifications The following table provides technical specifications for the Tango Audio Controllers. Unless otherwise noted, these specifications apply to both the DAS-T0804-SIG and DAS-T0808-SIG models. Tango Audio Controllers - Product Specifications (Cont.) LCD Display Displays information necessary during the programming steps and afterward is the display to indicate information about the source input activity. Rear Panel Components: Power Switch & Receptacle The master power switch will remain in the ON position normally. Paging In/Out Ports RCA jacks to connect to Paging devices (any audio signal/ source can be used as a paging device). The Paging device connects to the Controller via the "Paging In" connector. The “Paging Out” connector is used to carry the page to Zone Expander(s). RS-232 Port DB9 connector allows the Tango Audio Controller to receive Controller Command Messages and provide status messages. AM/FM Antenna Inputs Connections for the AM and FM Antennas (indoor installation only) Audio Inputs Stereo Inputs, 47K impedance, buffered. Audio Outputs Stereo Looping Outputs, buffered.

Front Panel Components: Light Bar Blue light bar indicates power status. LEDs Blue LEDs indicate zone status. Function/Navigation Buttons 5 pushbuttons allow for front panel programming, selection of sources, tuning AM/FM radio stations, or Sirius satellite radio stations (when equipped with the optional Sirius and/ or AM/FM Tuner Card). IR Receiver This is where you must aim the remotes from your audio source components so the Controller can learn and emulate those commands. Rack-Mounting Tango units occupy two rack spaces in a standard 19" equipment rack. Rack mounting brackets are supplied with the optional Rack-Mount Installation Kit (FG1101-60). Note: Exercise extreme care when lifting or moving Tango units within the rack to avoid injury. It is recommended that you seek the assistance of another person when rack mounting Tango units. 1. Attach the rack mounting brackets to each side of the Tango unit using the four screws (10-32 Panhead Phillips - supplied with the Tango unit) for each bracket. Note: To prevent injury the Tango unit must be securely attached to the rack in accordance with the installation instructions. ALWAYS use the special rack mount brackets supplied and high quality fixing screws to ensure the Tango unit is installed in the rack correctly. 2. Place the Tango unit in the equipment rack and hold steady. 3. Secure the Tango unit in the rack using the mounting holes. Note: DO NOT stand other units directly on top of the Tango unit when it is rack mounted, as this will place excessive strain on the mounting brackets. Ventilation To ensure that the rack enclosure is adequately ventilated, there must be a minimum of 3" all around the Tango unit. Sufficient airflow must be achieved (by convection or forced-air cooling) to satisfy the ventilation requirements of all th...
