Momentum Digtal Snake System

For a sound system, Momentum is easy on the eyes.

Momentum works with your design, flowing easily through churches, theaters, auditoriums, sports stadiums and arenas. The thin CAT6e wire that carries 256 channels of digital audio, makes Momentum easy to install, and easy to remove. There’s no concrete to tear up, no walls to knock down, no 3” or 4” conduit ruining the lines of your interiors.

Momentum is at the leading edge of today’s sound technology. That means it will remain current for 10, maybe 15 years. And because it saves your clients so much money on installation (up to $150k, in some applications) they will have more money for...design elements.
