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 increas-
ingly complicated audio systems of today can be simplifi ed. By reducing the amount of fi eld terminations,
installation becomes less time consuming. Texas Instruments, 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 button. You can place inputs, outputs, DSPs and controls
anywhere on the Momentum network. Also digital interfaces are available for seamless system integra­tion into many of the popular formats.
