Notes
1 - Bravo and Millennium can replace existing carillon systems with a working amplifier and speakers. The equalized instrumentation protects speaker horns used in many systems, including Chime Master Value and Outreach audio packages. All Millennium orders that do not include an inSpire audio package will ship with equalized instruments.
2 - Platinum supports two full five octave keyboards for simultaneous Carillon and Harp performance and recording.
3 - As of this specification date, Platinum comes with 13 clock chiming melodies
4 - Music can be played on any included bell instrument except swinging bell voices
5 - Premium Chime Center can be used to expand available ringing functions: Select tolling bell and number of strikes. Combine swinging bells into peals. Create new sequences for Angelus or time strike melodies. Set tempos and durations.

Amplifiers and speakers

All of the following systems also support tower clock movements.

  • Millennium® AX and Platinum AX systems can optionally control up to six tower bells for time strikes and other ringing.
  • Libertas AX - Rings music using real chime and carillons. Also features built-in electronic practice sounds that match the tower bells.
