Momentum Digtal Snake System

You know that the market for high-end sound systems is growing exponentially (especially in the church market). But it is not enough to meet that need the same way it has been met for the past 50 years. A new day demands new technology.

When you spec Momentum, you are specifying the most advanced digital snake system available. Momentum’s digital snake system not only carries 256 channels, often without the use of heavy, expensive conduit, but does it more cost-effectively than older analog cables. Your clients will see a 20-40% reduction in the cost of wiring the system, and the elimination of about 98% of the old analog audio connectors.
