Overview
omentum
The Momentum digital snake system by Pro Co is designed to replace traditional analog audio wiring
anywhere audio distribution is needed. By capturing audio at the source, converting it to digital audio
and distributing it over a standard Ethernet network, many of the diffi culties in executing the increasingly
complicated audio systems of today can be simplifi ed. By reducing the amount of fi eld terminations,
installation becomes less time consuming. Texas Instrument, Burr Brown mic preamps and Cirrus Logic
digital converters provide a platform that is as close to analog as possible without the inherent problems
that are associated with traditional wiring.
Flexibility and expandability are enhanced through the use of modules for inputs, outputs and DSPs. Signal
routing becomes as easy as clicking a key . Y ou can place inputs, outputs, DSPs and controls an ywhere on
the Momentum network. Also digital interfaces are available for seamless system integration into many
of the popular formats.

Overview
Description of the mo8m
The Momentum mo8me is the DSP based mix engine component of Pro Co’s digital snake system. It utilizes 32
network inputs with 3 band EQ and HPF (high pass fi lter). Output mixes can be mono or stereo and include 3
band EQ and panning control. The mo8me is suitable for numerous tasks such as personal monitor mixing and
distributed audio systems.
Gigabit Ethernet is standard on all Momentum audio products and all components are Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
802.3af compliant. All DSP functions are controlled by the “Tweak”, a wireless user interface, or PC software. In
order for the mo8me to function as it has been designed to, a minimum of one input (mi8) devices must be
present on the Network. A full compliment of options are available to ensure that Momentum can integrate into
your system confi guration.

The mo8me Enclosure
The mo8me enclosure can be used in a number of different confi gurations depending on the needs
of the end user. Units are shipped with rack ears, which can be front or rear mounted or can rotate
for vertical or horizontal surface mounting. Optional rubber stage boots allow the units to be used as
stage boxes.
An optional contractor panel can be ordered, which then allows the end user to terminate all analog
connections with simple “phoenix” screw terminal connectors or utilize a standard DB25 “break out
cable” instead of the front panel XLR connectors. This also allows passive “splitting” of the analog
signals if needed. Pro Co offers whatever breakout cables you need. Just ask for them when you
order your system.

Front Panel
The front of the mo8me has a 2-key control panel, eight channels capable of any combination of
eight mono and four stereo output mixes and an antenna for remote mixing. Each channel has one
signal / clip LED indicator that is visible on the front panel.
The control panel includes a power LED, status LED,
a 3-digit readout display and control keys.

Connection and Startup
Power
Only use with the power supplies provided by Pro Co Sound.
OR
Only use 802.3af PoE power supplies.
The Momentum output unit requires 48VDC power to operate. There are two ways to power the unit:
Use the 1. Pro Co One Spot power supply. It is shipped with the unit and allows the powering
of only one device. An alternative to the One Spot is the Multi Unit Power Supply (MUPS).
This power supply comes with three jumper cables that will allow up to four units to be linked
together and powered by one MUPS. The MUPS is an additional option and must be ordered
separately.
2
Use a standard 2. Gigabit IEEE 802.3af PoE network switch and power up through the
Ethernet cable. The POE switch must be capable of 15Watts per Ethernet port.
