General description
Congratulations, and thank you for purchasing the MOM – Monitor Operating Module. The MOM is a
versatile remote control for the Pro Mon 3 monitor controller software for the DAD AX32 and DX32R.
Multiple MOM’s may be used on the same system if multi-user functionality is required. The MOM may
also be used in combination with Eucon-based control surfaces such as the S6, Pro Tools Dock and the Pro
Tools Control app.
The MOM has 10 user-definable keys in 4 layers. This effectively provides up to 40 user-definable keys by
having 10 keys on each layer. It also features an external GPI input for e.g. a footswitch for talkback.
Before you start
Place the MOM on a hard and dry surface.
Make sure you have installed the DAD configuration and operation software DADman ver. 5.2 or higher
on your computer. The DADman software can be downloaded from our website,
www.digitalaudio.dk/support.
Connections
The MOM has 3 connections on the back.
- A network port with PoE (Power over Ethernet) with RJ45 connector
- A 5 VDC power input with DC connector
- A GPI (input) for an external switch such as a footswitch with 3,5mm mini jack connector
Figure 1, Connections on MOM
Network port
The network port is used for the control communication. The network port also supports PoE so the MOM
can be powered via the network connection if your network switch also supports PoE. In that case it is not
necessary to use the 5 VDC power input.
Power input
If you do not use PoE to power the MOM, you must use the 5 VDC power input with the supplied power
adapter. The power adapter comes with a range of interchangeable mains plugs making it suitable for use
in most countries.
Note. You can connect both Ethernet with PoE and the DC power at the same time for
redundant/back-up power supply operation.

Figure 2, Power adapter kit included with MOM
GPI Input
The GPI input is a 3.5 mm jack connector. This may be used for connecting an external switch such as for
example a footswitch. The functionality of the GPI input is programmed in the DADman software.
Note. MOM automatically detects the foot switch type, being active on or off during
power-up and reset.
Operation
The MOM has 10 user-definable keys, a Layer key and a rotary dial.
The 10 user-definable keys can be programmed for any function in the monitor profile and are therefore
not restricted to the functionality that is implied with the labelling on the MOM.
The Layer key allows the user to switch between up to 4 layers of 10 keys thereby effectively providing up
to 40 user-definable keys.
The rotary dial is typically used for controlling the speaker level, but may also be configured for adjusting
other levels. Around the rotary dial there is a LED scale from -40 dB to +12 dB in steps of 2 dB to indicate
which level it is set at.
The LED’s can either be red, green or orange. This is used to indicate levels in-between the 2 dB steps.
A red LED indicates that the level is set to the exact value indicated next to the LED, e.g. -10 dB. If the
rotary dial is slowly turned e.g. clock-wise to increase the level, the LED changes to green and at the same
the next LED turns orange to indicate a change of 0.5 dB so the level is now -9.5 dB. Continuing to turn
the dial will make both LED’s turn to orange to indicate the level is now changed 1 dB so it is now -9 dB.
Next the LED’s will change to orange and green to indicate another 0.5 dB change so the level is -8.5 dB
until finally the LED next to -8 dB is red to indicate a level of -8 dB.

Note. The status LED (Stat.) will flash red when the MOM is unconfigured. Once
configured, it will light green.
Configuration
The MOM is configured with the DADman software ver. 5.2 or higher. The following instructions assume
you are already familiar with the DADman software, otherwise please refer to the AX32 User Guide to
familiarise yourself with the software.
Please follow these steps to configure the MOM.
Connecting the MOM
Connect the MOM to the network and make sure it is powered via either PoE or the power adapter. The
Stat. LED will blink red after approx. 2 sec.
In DADman, go to the Device List. The MOM should be detected automatically by the DADman software,
otherwise click on “Refresh”.
The MOM is shown as Unit Type 710, as shown on the following screenshot.

Make sure the IP address of the MOM is within a valid range. Select the MOM by checking the box next to
it and close the window.
Adding the MOM to a monitor profile
The next step is either to load an existing monitor profile if you already have one, alternatively create a
new monitor profile.
If you have an existing monitor profile then simply load it and go to the Monitor Profile configuration. If
you have not already created a monitor profile, you must go to the Monitor Profile configuration and
create one. Once you have done that, you should see something like this.

Right-click (Windows) or CTRL-Click (OSX) in the white area to the left. Select Add new MOM and then
select the MOM you want to add.

Programming the keys
Clicking on the small + sign next to the MOM will now show the 4 layers of the MOM. Click on one of the
layers and you will see a list of all the keys on the MOM.
Figure 9, Keys on the MOM
If you right-click on the MOM you will have the following options.
Figure 10, Menu for programming the MOM

Getting Started Guide MOM
Doc no. MOM-8002-A-4 Rev. date 180220 Page 11 of 13
The right-click menu has the following options.
Attach allows you to add more MOM’s.
Remove will remove the selected MOM from the configuration.
Rename lets you rename the selected MOM for easier identification in the configuration.
Identify will make the selected MOM light up all green LED’s for 10 sec. This makes it easier for you to
identify the MOM’s if you have more than one on the same set-up.
LED Intensity lets you set the lighting level of the keys and LED’s to either Low, Normal or High so it can
be adapted to the lighting conditions in the room where the MOM is used.
Default Preset will make the DADman software configure the functionality of the MOM based the
monitor profile. This is done on a “best effort” basis so it may not be perfect, but it can be a good starting
point. It is always possible to modify the configuration afterwards.
Assigning/re-assigning a key is done by simply right-clicking/CTRL-clicking on the key. This will bring up a
list of choices, including the monitor groups you have programme in the monitor profile. Pointing on a
monitor group will bring up choices from that monitor group. Select the functionality you want and then
proceed to the next key.
Figure 11, Assigning a functionality to a key
Finally, it is necessary to activate the layer(s) you want to use. Right-click/CTRL-click on a layer and select
Element Active to activate the layer.
Note. Element Active enables selection of the whole set of speakers on and off. Left
or Right enables that the selection is an on/off function for an individual speaker in the
set.

The same menu also provides a copy/paste function where you can copy the programming of a layer to
another layer, and even to a layer in a different MOM. This makes it extremely fast to configure multiple
MOM’s with the same configuration.
