CMS has been continuously innovating in the audio and electronics fields with a special focus on bell sound reproduction beginning in 1962. With a long history of professional audio recording services and audiophile system design, we know what it takes to provide great sounding bells and acoustically well-designed bell chambers, making realism our goal.

Why buy a Chime Master?
Here are some great reasons to choose a Chime Master church bell ringing system.
Easiest to Use
Push a button, click a mouse or use a touchscreen to ring a bell or play a hymn. Easy to use— one touch lets anyone be a bell ringer.
Best user interface
Chime Master lets you choose the user interface that works best for you.
Want to use a computer? You can!
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.
Don't want to use a computer? That's fine!
The Chime Master Advanced eXperience front panel touch screen lets you ring your bells with a couple of taps. Easy to understand instructions are included in both on the front screen as well as printed and online electronic formats.
The Chime Master® LX Carillon still comes with our time tested menu system that has worked for decades and thousands of Chime Master customers will also work for you.
Call our toll-free support line and a friendly support person will guide you to quickly revise your schedule or prepare for a special event.
Easy Advanced eXperience Remote
The Chime Master AX Remote control finally brings immediate, frustration free and secure control to the bell ringing world. Provided your bell ringing system has an Internet connection and your phone or tablet also has a good carrier broadband or WiFi data connection, one scan of a QR code will provide control of the system anywhere you go.
Not everyone has Internet at their church, so we've provided alternative solutions for the same functionality when you are close to the carillon.
Best sound
The bells you purchase today will still be your 'voice' to the community for several decades. We use high definition, first-generation digital recordings and bell samples to give you the most realistic bell sound available today. Great sounding bells cannot reach the soul unless they have been played from the heart. Our experienced church musicians have made these recordings with a deep understanding of the true meaning and story behind each hymn. We are often told that our clients get effusive compliments from their friends and neighbors about the beauty of the music and bells they hear from the Chime Master carillon. To hear these beautiful bells for yourself, schedule an on-site demonstration.
Most music options
You will receive a large and comprehensive library of music and bells for all occasions and seasons pre-loaded into memory when you purchase a Chime Master. Choose the majestic sound of a towering bronze bell carillon or the lush and meditative sound of our concert chimes. Platinum AX™ carillons come an unprecedented number of world-class bell instruments.
In addition to sacred church bell music, every Chime Master carillon includes Taps played on a bugle, and Amazing Grace performed on bagpipes.
Chime Center features a music librarian that gives you total control over what music plays for each liturgical season. You can customize these seasons and add to them to satisfy any church tradition.
Do you want to add your own recorded special music? You can!
The Chime Master Chime Master LX carillon includes an SD/MP3 card slot to allow you to drag and drop your special music or custom recordings for playback on your bell system. These files can be programmed to play manually or automatically.
Millennium® AX and Platinum AX™ (Advanced eXperience) systems allow you to record carillon performances from a MIDI keyboard (or optionally from your organ, or even upload MIDI files) and manage them with factory music with the Chime Center music librarian and seasonal SmartAlmanac.
Platinum AX™ systems supports high quality audio file formats for upload via Chime Center for music, announcements or campus alerting messaging.
