-=== Remarkable realism ===
+=== Front Panel Touchscreen ===
-A quality bell has been a difficult instrument to reproduce accurately with any recording technology. Standing next to a bell, one experiences a dynamic range from deafening to less than a whisper. Even the best digital recordings from as near as ten years ago would not satisfy our ears. With a large bell, it may take individual harmonic partials hundreds of seconds to decay away. Earlier technology carillons betray their low fidelity by fading out 10-20 seconds after the last note of a song.
+Quickly access any feature you need with quick function buttons that you can customize with easily recognizable icons and colors. Create new buttons for special occasions. Set up your system and ringing schedules with simple screens. Organize your home menu with only the features you need.
+=== Remote Control App ===
-Advanced eXperience systems now provide bell samples captured and reproduced with truly high definition (HD) audio technology for breathtaking realism. Bells can finally come alive and sing. To reproduce this realism from your tower, we combine Advanced eXperience virtual bell instruments with another recent development. Our [[Sound_Packages#inSpire.E2.84.A2_Ultimate|inSpire audio systems]] feature not only the time tested long-throw horns that can be heard at a distance, but also high fidelity weather resistant full range and subsonic drivers. Intelligent amplifiers are programmed to provide each driver and horn with its ideal frequencies and combines them into a well balanced cluster that carries for a distance, but sounds real yet not too loud up close.
+Simply tap the front touchscreen Remote button to view a QR code that you can scan with your smartphone. This instantly installs the remote control app and authenticates your phone with your bell system. You can use this remote app to ring your bells with the same quick function buttons you set on your touchscreen.
+=== Chime.Center ===
-Realism on a budget is provided with a Bravo or Millennium carillon coupled with our Value or Outreach audio systems. These models feature equalized (EQ) instrumentation to upgrade all brands of previously installed speakers and amplifiers.
+Access your schedules and settings from your home or office with the Chime Center management web portal. Available options include multiple user support where you can customize home screens for your staff on both the front panel touchscreen and their remote controls. Your system will regularly receive updates and upgrades.
+=== SmartAlmanac AX ===
-=== Color touch screen ===
+Chime Master’s unique set-it-and-forget-it SmartAlmanac provides appropriate music automatically with seasonal changes year after year. With the Advanced Experience features of Chime Center you can add seasons, change their starting and ending dates and select seasonal music. Preview or review selection play lists and make adjustments to the SmartAlmanac song by song.
-We have invested significant effort to develop an easy user interface that you may only encounter once when you receive your system. A guided setup process offers plain language steps that configures your system according to your liturgical tradition and ringing needs. The set-it-and-forget-it quick start configures the SmartAlmanac™ to insure that appropriate music will always play, and automatically change as seasons change as you follow the liturgical calendar, including movable dates like Easter.
-Large colorful touch screen buttons allow you to quickly access any feature you need, not only to schedule automatic ringing, but to manually ring special occasions. Customize your home screen to provide only the ringing you need.
-=== Easy remote control ===
-Five quick steps will install a remote control app on your phone that has the same home menu as you configure for the front panel screen. Login, tap Remote on the screen, verify login then scan a QR code with your phone. You now have remote control of your ringing system and can add it to your phone's home screen. It is that simple. You do not have to download anything from an app store. You do not have to login to the app. Everything needed for secure control is provided within the QR code.
-=== Management portal ===
-Manage your ringing system from wherever you are with the [[Chime_Center|Chime Center]] management portal.
