OVERVIEW
The Tango Audio Controller integrates all of your audio sources and makes them easily accessible from a single, centrally managed location. The DAS-T0804-SIG controls up to 8 sources and distributes audio to up to 4 rooms or zones. Control sources using the Mio R-1 Audio Control and Metreau Audio Keypads or with a PC using the optional DAS-MNET. Sources such as Satellite Receivers, CD Players, MP3 Players and Media Servers can be connected to the RCA source inputs on the rear panel. Tango's modular design allows it to grow with you to accommodate future technologies via replaceable tuner and interface cards. While it can inherently support 8 sources and 4 zones, up to 7 Tango Zone Expanders can be added to the system to add up to 60 rooms/zones.
