Installation

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.

Cabling Installation Instructions

Be sure to check for any wiring restrictions required by the electrical code in your area.

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.

Cable Type

The Tango Controller is cabled using standard 4-conductor speaker cable originating at the Tango Controller, passing through the Keypad, and terminating at the speaker location. AMX generally recommends using a bundled 4-conductor 16-gauge stranded copper wire in a single continuous run.
