Overview

Momentum System

Features

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 integration 

into many of the popular formats.
