Thank you very much for purchasing the Momentum integrated amplifier. I’ve
designed many integrated amps, but this is the first I’ve offered under my own name,
so it’s something special to me.
For this integrated amplifier, I wanted to marry the best aspects of the Momentum
stereo amplifier and the Momentum preamplifier in a single chassis, to create a
component that would fit more easily into living environments and listening rooms.
Usually, an integrated amplifier is a compromised combination of a preamp and an
amp. But because this integrated amp is the first with my name on the front, I refused
to compromise. Thus, I used the same circuit concepts pioneered in other Momentum
components. In most cases I even used the exact same circuit boards.
As with the original Momentum products, I used the through-hole construction that
was common back in the early days of my career, but is only rarely used now. Through-
hole is much more expensive and time-consuming than the surface-mount construction
found in most of today’s audio products, but it’s sturdier and it sounds better. And it’s
the only way to make audio products that will last for decades to come.
We built your Momentum integrated amp by hand in our Arizona factory under my
close personal supervision. Before we shipped it to your audio dealer, we tested it to
make sure every circuit in it works perfectly and delivers the performance I designed
into it. You could say there’s a little bit of my soul in this amp!
I’ve created hundreds of products in my career. Even many of my very first products
are still in use and prized as collector’s items. But the Momentum products are the only
ones that carry my signature. I stake my reputation on this amp’s performance, and
on your satisfaction with it. I hope you enjoy every hour you spend with it, and that it
brings you ever deeper into the music you love.
Sincerely,
A note from Dan D’Agostino
FOUNDER, CEO, AND CHIEF DESIGNER OF DAN D’AGOSTINO MASTER AUDIO SYSTEMS

that two people lift the Momentum integrated amp. Because it is machined from a solid block of
aluminum, it is much heavier than it looks.
The finish of the Momentum integrated amp is extremely delicate. We suggest wearing the
supplied white gloves when handling the integrated amp to avoid abrasion, fingerprints caused by
oils from the skin, etc. Additionally, the machining process used to create the metal parts for the
Momentum integrated amp is precise, but not perfect; you may see slight flaws and scratches in
the finish, but these are unavoidable and in fact part of the intended look of the amplifier. Please
refer to OPERATION: Maintenance for instructions on cleaning.
Installation requirements
This integrated amp’s dense metal chassis makes it much heavier than most other integrated amps,
so make sure the surface that will support this component can safely hold its weight.
Adequate ventilation must be provided for the integrated amp. There should be at least 3 inches
of clearance on each side and 3 inches of clearance at the top, and the bottom vents must not be
obstructed by thick carpet, dust, etc. We recommend that the integrated amp be installed in an
open equipment rack or on an amplifier stand to ensure proper ventilation. The integrated amp
may be installed in a closed cabinet or in an equipment closet, but the cabinet or closet must be
designed with substantial ventilation at top and bottom; active ventilation (i.e., powered fans) is
preferred. Do not place the integrated amp directly on a carpeted floor.
Do not plug the Momentum integrated amplifier or any other Dan D’Agostino Master Audio
Systems product into a power strip or power conditioner.
The Momentum integrated amp is designed with special cone feet that screw into the bottom
of the main chassis and match up with indentations on the top of the power supply. The bottom
of the power supply has soft feet designed to isolate the main chassis assembly from vibration.
(These feet will not stain or mar the surface underneath them.)
To attach the cone feet, first remove the vinyl wrap that covers the integrated amp and protect
the finish. (Save the vinyl wrap in the box to use again if you ever need to ship the amplifier.) Use
two people to turn the integrated amp chassis upside down and place it on a soft but secure
surface—a few towels draped over a sturdy table, for example—and place the vinyl wrap atop the
towels for extra protection. Screw the feet all the way into the threaded holes on the bottom of
the chassis. Now place the power supply in the place where you want to install the Momentum
integrated amplifier. Use two people to turn the integrated amp back over again. Place it carefully
atop the power supply chassis, lining up the points of the cone feet with the indentations on the
top of the power supply.
If you need to return the integrated amplifier for service
If you should need to send the Momentum integrated amp back to us for service, be sure to use
the original box and materials for shipment. Before you ship the amplifier, unplug it from the wall
and let it cool down for 6 hours. To protect the finish during shipping, rewrap the amplifier in the
vinyl covering it came in. Make sure the amp is completely cool and has not been plugged in for 6
hours before you do this. Wrapping the amplifier when it is warm will cause the vinyl to leech into
the amplifier’s surface and will permanently damage the finish.

Speaker cables
Install the speaker cables first. We recommend the use of high-quality cables terminated with
spade or ring lugs that will fit the Momentum’s binding posts. We advise against the use of pin
connectors, banana plugs or bare-wire connections.
Note that the positive (+) binding post has a red ring and the negative (-) binding post has a black
ring. Double check to confirm that you are connecting your speaker cable’s conductors to the
appropriate binding posts—red to positive, black to negative. If your cables are marked to show
desired signal flow, orient the cable so that the installation conforms to the cable manufacturer’s
instructions.
To install speaker cables tipped with spade lugs or rings, use a binding post wrench to carefully
loosen each speaker binding post. Turn counter-clockwise to loosen. If using spade lugs, insert
each spade lug so that its two tines straddle the binding post, then tighten the binding post nut
with the binding post wrench. If using rings, remove the binding post nut entirely, place the ring
on the binding post, then replace the nut and tighten it securely.
A firm connection, tight enough that the spade lug or ring cannot move, is all that’s needed. Too
much torque could damage the binding posts. Do not use a conventional wrench to tighten the
binding posts.
Interconnect cables
We recommend the use of high-quality balanced XLR audio interconnect cables with the
Momentum integrated amplifier. If you have a source device that does not offer XLR connections,
please contact your D’Agostino Master Audio Systems dealer to acquire the proper XLR-to-
RCA adapters.
First connect the source devices (phono preamp, CD player, etc.) to the appropriate inputs.
Connect each XLR cable (or XLR-to-RCA adapter) to the appropriate XLR jack by pushing the
plug into the jack. To release the plug, push on the small tab atop the jack and gently detach the
plug. Never grasp interconnect cables by the cable itself—you could damage the cable. Be sure to
connect left channel to left channel input, right channel to right channel input.
Note that the Momentum integrated amplifier does not incorporate a phono stage; you will have
to add an external phono stage in order to use the Momentum with a turntable. We recommend
getting a phono stage of the best possible quality in order to get the best from the Momentum.
DC cable for power supply
The Momentum integrated amplifier is supplied with a special DC cable that interfaces the power
supply with the main chassis. To connect the cable, simply align the connector in the jack on the
back panel and push it into place.
Be sure to hook up the DC cable before you connect the power supply to the AC outlet, and
disconnect the AC before you remove the DC cable.

AC cord
The Momentum integrated amplifier power supply is supplied with a high-quality AC cord tipped
with a 15-amp IEC connector at the integrated amp end and a three-conductor AC plug at the
other end. You may use a different power cord with the Momentum if you wish, as long as it is
tipped with a 15-amp IEC connector and a three-conductor AC plug.
After the speaker, interconnect cables, and power supply connector cable are connected, push
the IEC connector on the power cord into the IEC jack on the Momentum integrated amp.
Do not plug the Momentum integrated amp or any other Dan D’Agostino Master Audio
Systems product into a power strip or power conditioner.
Headphone jack
This 1/4 – inch jack allows easy connection of headphones to the Momentum integrated
amplifier. Headphones with a 1/8 – inch plug may be connected using a 1/8 – inch to ¼ - inch
adapter. To activate the headphones press and hold the button of the input you wish to
listen to and hold it for 10 seconds. This will turn on the headphones and mute the speakers.
To restore sound to the speakers simply repeat the process. This process works with the
remote as well.
IR control input
This is a standard IC5-type 3.5mm input for a remote control signal. This can be used
with the included IR extender module so the remote will work even when the integrated
amp is installed in a cabinet. It will also work with third-party home automation and IR
repeater systems.
To activate this input, turn off the integrated amplifier and disconnect the power cord from
the power supply. Plug in the cable from the extender module or third-party system. Now
plug the power cord back into the power supply and push the Standby button on front of the
integrated amp. The IR receiver on the extender module will now receive commands from
the remote, and the IR receiver on the front of the integrated amp will no longer work. To
reactivate the front sensor, turn off the power on the integrated amp and unplug the power
cord from the power supply, unplug the IR extender cable, then plug the power cord back in
and push the Standby button on the front of the integrated amp.
RS-232 input
This DB9-type input allows the Momentum integrated amplifier to be controlled by home
automation systems that use the RS-232 protocol. Consult your D’Agostino Master Audio Systems
dealer for more information. Current code is available online at www.dandagostino.com

Initial power-up of the integrated amplifier
To power-up the Momentum integrated amplifier, simply press the Standby button located on
the front of the integrated amp. After power is switched on, the Momentum integrated amplifier
requires approximately 30 minutes to reach optimal operating temperature. Although the amp
will sound excellent upon initial listening, the sound quality will improve as it warms up, much as
the flavor of a fine red wine improves if it is allowed to breathe for a few minutes.
Basic operation
The Momentum integrated amplifier offers a streamlined, simple function array: power on/off,
volume, source selection, phase, mute and tone control. Operation is simple but here’s a brief
description if you need it.
Standby: The Standby button is located on the front panel of the preamp. When the preamp is
in standby (Off) mode, the LED in the middle of the button will be lit in yellow. Push the button to
turn the unit on. When power is on, the LED in the middle of the button will go off and the volume
indicator will illuminate. Push the button once more to turn the unit off. The light for the volume
indicator will go out and the LED in the middle of the Standby button will light up.
Volume: Turn the ring around the volume indicator clockwise to raise the volume and
counterclockwise to lower it, or use the Volume +/- buttons on the remote. The needle indicator
will move toward the right as you increase the volume and to the left as you decrease it. We
recommend you turn the volume down when you initially power up the system, and raise it only
when you are assured that all components in the system are operating properly.
Gain increase: It is possible to increase the maximum gain of the integrated amplifier. To increase
the gain, unplug the power supply, press and hold both the SOURCE and the DAC buttons and
plug the power supply back in. Keep pressing the buttons until the integrated amp will turn on.
The maximum gain is now increased. To set the gain back to his original value, repeat the steps
described, pressing the SOURCE and the STANDBY buttons.
Dark mode: During the Dark mode operational state, the lights on the integrated amp will be off until
a different function, input or volume control are changed. To activate and deactivate the Dark mode,
turn on the integrated amplifier by pressing and holding the STANDBY button for a few seconds.
Source selection: Simply push the front-panel button or remote button that corresponds with the
source you want to hear. The LED in the middle of the front-panel button for the currently active
source will light up. The volume will always return to minimum level when you switch input sources.
Theater: By using the Theater Bypass input, you can interface the Momentum integrated amp
with a multichannel home theater audio system. To use it, connect the left- and right-channel
outputs of your surround-sound processor to the Momentum integrated amp’s Theater Bypass
input. This input bypasses the integrated amp’s volume control; use your surround-sound
processor’s volume control instead. Push the Theater button on the front panel or remote when
you want to listen to surround sound. Push any other source button to return the system to
stereo mode.

Tone: To activate the tone controls, push the Tone button on the front panel or remote. The LED
in the middle will light up in white, indicating that the tone controls are active.
Bass and Treble controls: When the LED in the middle of the front-panel Tone button is on,
these controls will be active. Turn them clockwise to boost, counterclockwise to cut. The front
panel indicates the level of boost or cut in decibels (dB). When adjusting these controls, we
strongly recommend you you first disengage the tone controls using the Tone button; make the
adjustment; then push the Tone button again to re-engage the controls. This is because the
integrated amp is DC-coupled, with no capacitors in the signal path. This design gives the best
sound quality, but it can result in some noise when the treble and bass knobs are turned.
Phase (remote control only): The Phase control inverts the phase of the entire system. While
the Momentum integrated amp does not invert phase, many source devices do, and many
recordings are produced with inverted phase. Because you have no way of knowing what the
proper phase is, you must set this control by ear. Push the Phase button on the remote control
to invert the phase. The light on the integrated amp’s front dial will turn from green to red when the
phase is inverted. Try listening with the phase normal or inverted, and use whichever setting
sounds better. If you can’t hear a difference, don’t worry about it. Depending on the recording,
the effects of phase inversion are often subtle and sometimes even inaudible.
Mute (remote control only): The Mute control simply mutes the volume temporarily. Press it
once to mute, and again to restore the volume. When the sound is muted, the light in the volume
indicator will flash.
Balance (remote control only): The Balance control lets you shift the stereo balance to right or
left. To activate it, press the Balance button on the remote. The volume indicator on the face of
the integrated amp will swing to show the current balance setting. Use the volume +/- buttons on
the remote to change the balance setting. If the needle points straight up, the balance is even
between left and right. If the needle points to right or left, the balance is shifted to that side.
To return the balance to the center, hold down the Balance button on the remote for 2 seconds.
The remote backlight will flash and the needle will return to center.
Maintenance
The Momentum integrated amp requires no user maintenance other than to keep it clean
and ensure that the vents remain unobstructed. Like a piece of fine furniture, the Momentum
integrated amp has a fine, highly polished finish that can be easily damaged. Do not rub or polish
the finish, and do not allow objects to come in contact with it. To clean the integrated amp, spray
a small amount of distilled water onto the supplied microfiber cloth and gently wipe the surface
along the direction of the metal grain, with light pressure only. Never use a circular motion or
heavy pressure, as this can permanently scratch the machined surfaces. Do not rub the surface
with the cloth, and do not spray any liquid directly onto the integrated amp. If dust or other
contaminants or objects collect around the vents at the top and bottom of the integrated amp,
remove small objects by hand and use a shop vacuum or hand vacuum to remove the dust. Use a
brush attachment on the vacuum to avoid scratching the surface. If you should need to transport
or ship the integrated amp, be sure to use the original packing materials. Allow the integrated
amp to cool down for at least one hour before you wrap or package it.

Integrated amplifier will not power up
If the front meter is not illuminated, follow the procedure outlined below. If one step succeeds
in activating the power, stop there and ignore the other steps.
1. If the LED in the middle of the Standby button on the front of the integrated amp is lit,
push the button to turn the integrated amp on.
2. If the LED in the middle of the Standby button is not lit, check to make sure the AC
cord is plugged into the wall outlet.
3. Check at the back of the power supply to make sure the 15-amp IEC connector is
pushed all the way into the jack on the back of the power supply.
4. Check to make sure the power supply connector cable is firmly connected to the power
supply and the integrated amp.
5. Pull out the fuse connector at the back of the power supply, below the 15-amp IEC
power cord connector. Check to see if the fuse is blown. (The conductor inside the
fuse will be severed and you may see burn marks on the fuse.) Be sure to replace the
fuse with one of the proper value and type. Consult your dealer or D’Agostino LLC.
6. Check your household electrical box to make sure the circuit breaker has not been
tripped. If it has, flip the breaker back on.
7. If the breaker trips again, check the speaker cable connection on your integrated amp and
the speaker to make sure that the terminals are not shorted, and check the entire length of
the cable to ensure there has been no damage to it.
8. If all of these steps fail to return power to the integrated amp, consult your dealer
for service.
Front indicator is illuminated but you hear no sound
Follow these steps in order. If one step succeeds in restoring the sound, stop there and ignore
the other steps.
1. If you’re listening to speakers, make sure nothing is plugged into the headphone jack.
If you’re listening to headphones, make sure they are firmly plugged into the back of the
Momentum integrated amp.
2. Check your source device to make sure it is turned on.
3. Check the source device to make sure it is playing, i.e., if it’s a record player, make sure
it’s spinning and the tonearm is lowered, or if it’s a CD player, make sure it’s in play
mode and not in pause.
4. Make sure the integrated amp is not muted and that the desired source is selected.

5. Check the line-level connections between the source device and the integrated amp.
Reconnect any cables that may have become disconnected.
6. Check the cables between the integrated amp and the speakers to make sure they are
properly connected and that the cables have not become damaged.
7. If you have a spare pair of interconnect cables (even inexpensive ones will work
temporarily), try using them instead of the interconnect cables between the source
device and the integrated amp. If this restores sound, replace the defective cables.
8. If all of these steps fail to restore sound, consult your dealer for service.
Sound comes from only one channel
Follow these steps in order. If one step succeeds in restoring the sound, stop there and ignore
the other steps.
1. Push the Balance button on the remote to see what the setting is. If the needle on
the front dial is moved to one side or the other, hold the Balance button on the remote
down for 2 seconds. The remote’s backlight will flash and the needle will return to
the center.
2. Check the interconnect connections between the source device and the integrated
amp to make sure all cables (and XLR-to-RCA adapters, if you’re using them) are
securely connected.
3. Check speaker cable connections for the malfunctioning channel. Reconnect any
cables that may have become disconnected. Inspect the cable to make sure it has not
been damaged. If it has been damaged, replace it.
4. Swap the left-channel interconnect cable from the source device to the integrated amp
with the right-channel interconnect cable. If the malfunctioning channel now works but
the other channel does not, replace the defective interconnect cable with one of the
exact same type. You may have to replace both right and left cables to make sure
they match.
5. Try using a different source device. If the alternate source device delivers sound
in both channels, it is likely the original source device is defective. Consult the
manufacturer of that source device or your dealer for further information.
6. Try switching the cables between the two speakers. If sound still doesn’t come from
the channel that wasn’t working—i.e., if one of the speakers remains silent whether it’s
connected to the left- or right-channel output of the Momentum integrated amp, and
the other speaker works either way—it is likely the speaker is malfunctioning. Consult
the manufacturer of the speaker or your dealer for further information.
7. If all of these steps fail to restore sound, consult your dealer for service.

Follow these steps in order. If one step succeeds in restoring the operation of the remote, stop
there and ignore the other steps.
1. Try pointing the remote directly at the integrated amp (or at the IR receiver if you’re
using an IR repeater system).
2. Check the IR emitter on the front of the remote to make sure it is not dirty. If it is,
wipe off any dust and/or fingerprints with a soft cloth.
3. If you are using the IR extender module, make sure it is not dirty. If it is, wipe off any
dust/fingerprints with a soft cloth.
4. If you are not using the IR extender module, turn off the power on the integrated
amp and unplug the power cord from the power supply. Make sure no cable is plugged
into the integrated amp’s remote control input jack, then reconnect the power cord and
turn the power back on from the front panel.
5. If you are using the IR extender module or a third-party control system connected
through the integrated amp’s remote control input jack, make sure the cable is plugged
firmly into the jack and that the cable is not damaged. Turnoff the power on the
integrated amp and unplug the cord from the power supply, then reconnect the power
cord and turn the power back on from the front panel.
6. Change the batteries by removing the screws securing the back plate of the remote,
replacing the batteries with fresh ones, then replace the back plate.
7. If all of these steps fail to restore operation of the remote, consult your dealer.
