SLP-4 Message Manager Software
The SLP-4 comes factory loaded with 8 CD quality chime/messages. For a truly custom sounding doorbell chime/message, users may download their own WAV files into the SLP-4 from a computer via the USB connection using this software download called SLP-4 Message Manager.
WAV File Guidelines:
1. For best results, the .wav file should be 16 bit / 44.1K / mono.
2. Resolution down to 8 bits is acceptable but audio quality will not be optimal.
3. Sampling rates of 22k and 11k are also acceptable.
4. The .wav file may be stereo or multi-channel, but only the Left Channel will be loaded.
5. Each of the 8 Memory Locations can hold up to 44 seconds of recorded audio.
6. Total recording time of 5 minutes 52 seconds available.
7. Longer recordings are allowed to spill over into additional memory locations.
Audio CDs use “Red Book” audio. The commonality is that both audio CDs and WAV files have the audio data encoded in PCM. The Audio CD Red Book standard is essentially a WAV file along with additional coded information such as title, track, and time information. Applications such as Sound Forge, Audacity, and Windows Sound Recorder, can be used to generate a WAV file out of Audio CD and/or MP3 audio recordings.
When using the SLP-4 Message Manager software, there is the option to select either the “Stack” or “Interrupt” Chime/Message Mode. The SLP-4 is factory set in the “Stack” mode which means if the front doorbell button and the back doorbell button are pressed at about the same time, the SLP-4 will fully play the first chime/message, and then fully play the second chime/message. The “Interrupt” mode works well if the SLP-4 is being used as a museum or information display 4 button audio server. This works well for this application because each new push of the button will instantly start playing the recording the user requested.
A delay time can be programmed from when the SLP-4 provides the page trigger signal, until the door chime recording starts to play. This is useful if the whole house audio system needs additional delay time before it is ready to pass audio. In the SLP-4 Message Manager software Options box, a “Trigger Delay” time from 0 to 9 seconds may be selected.
