ango Series Audio Controllers
Connecting Sources (Audio Inputs/Outputs)
Up to eight audio devices can be connected to the Tango Controllers via the Sources INPUT and
OUTPUT RCA connectors on the rear panel (see FIG. 1 on page 1). Industry standard RCA connectors
provide line-level input and output connections for devices such as CD, DSS, MP3 players etc.
Each audio input has a corresponding buffered output used to connect the audio sources to additional
Tango Controllers or to other devices that share the audio sources (FIG. 3).
Connecting IR Outputs
Tango Controllers provide eight 3.5mm mono IR Output jacks for CC-NIRC NetLinx IR Emitter Cables
(supplied). Commands received by the Tango Controller from the Metreau keypads are processed and
sent via the IR Emitter Cable to the controlled device.
CC-NIRC NetLinx IR Emitter Cables attach to the controlled audio device’s IR sensor with double-sided
tape (included), and connect to the Tango Controller via the IR OUTPUT jacks on the rear panel
(FIG. 4).
