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 button. You can place inputs, outputs, DSPs and controls
anywhere on the Momentum network. Also digital interfaces are available for seamless system integr ation
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 16
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 or two 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.

Overview

Front Panel

The front of the mo8me has a 2-button 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 buttons.

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 a separate option and must be ordered
additionally.

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.

Network Clock Sync

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING:
The Momentum network MUST have ONE mi8 that is assigned CHANNEL 1. This assignment is
used to synchronize all of the device clocks on the network. Without this assignment, the system
clock will not sync and audio ‘clicks’ will be heard.

Using the Control Panel

The mo8me unit includes a control panel with an LED display and two push buttons (F1 and
F2). The device can be confi gured through a series of key strokes using F1 and F2. The control
panel will only control the local device and cannot change other units via the network.

Setting Device Before Use

THE FOLLOWING FRONT PANEL SETTINGS MUST BE CONFIGURED PRIOR TO USING MOMENTUM.
The IP setting is required only if the unit is to be controlled with a PC or external controller.
A detailed description of control functions can be found in chapter 3, pages 16-17.

Start Channel Route



The mo8me does not require a start channel. The unit is shipped with routing channels pre-set to
Network input channels 1-16. This function can be used to change the factory default if required,
to another set of sixteen sequential channels.

The start channel, in this case, will be the fi rst of the selected sixteen inputs. While in resting or
time-out mode, the mo8me will display “- - -” . Channels are set in grouping of sixteen i.e. 1-16,
17-32, 33-48 etc.

Connection and Setup

 IP Address

An IP address will need to be set only if the Momentum
network will be controlled with a PC or external controller.
The IP address defaults to 192.168.1.1. When in the idle
menu state, pressing the F1 button will fl ash the current ad-
dress. The number shown is the LSB of the IP address
(192.168.1.[LSB]). If the network is to be controlled with
a PC, each mi8 unit will need a unique IP address. All IPs
need to be set manually on the individual unit.

It is best practice to keep the input unit’s IP address sequential with its channel. In other words,
Chn 001-008 would be Adr 001 and Chn 009-016 would be Adr 002 and so on.

 Sample Rate

PLEASE NOTE: The mo8me can ONLY be set at a sample rate of 48k. All other network
devices must also be 48k. A setting for sample rate 96k has been added for future use, but it is
not available at this time.

All users share EQ, routing and channel names.•
Up in eight Tweaks can mix from one • mo8me.
Each Tweak in a given environment must have a unique Tweak ID 1-99.•
Time-out mode can be turned off or be setup for up to 4 minutes.•
If unit times out, it will resume to last screen in use when reactivated by pressing any button•

First Power Up

The Tweak is powered by 3 AAA batteries inserted at the back of the unit.•
Push down and turn the back panel to remove it. •
The Tweak will power up when batteries are inserted.•
The unit will default to a Network address of 1.•
When not in use, the unit automatically times out.•
Press any button to resume.•
It will resume to the last screen in use before time out.•

After powering up for the fi rst time, please take the following steps:

(If these steps are missed, the Tweak will be unable to set routing or any of the other
mixing capabilities.)

The unit is shipped with a factory default Network address of 1, which may not correspond•
with your mo8me address, especially if you already have a Network up and running. You
MUST reset the Tweak to the correct Network address. (See page 20 or 22)
Assign your Tweak a unique ID number. (See page 24 - Assigning Your Tweak an ID Number)•

The default mix is the output or mix channel that is selected for a particular Tweak. Assigning a
default mix to each user, allows only one person to control global changes, and gives individual
users control of only their mix.

Only master user can change input EQ, routing, channel names•

Changes to EQ, routing, channel names are global for all users connected to the same • mo8me

Default mix 2-8 users can only change volume, pan and output EQ•
When a default mix has been selected, the Tweak boots directly to the Mix Menu•
If default mix 2-8 have been selected, the “Routing” function on the Setup Menu will be locked•
If • ALL is selected on the Default Mix screen, all users have ability to make changes to EQ,
