Chime Selection
- Two banks of DIP switches (Chime Selection 1 and Chime Selection 2) provide in-
dependent selection of all the available chimes. The lowest number DIP switch takes priority if more
than one switch is selected. The table below identifies the selectable chime for each DIP switch.
Note:
IF MORE THAN ONE SWITCH IS ON, THE TONE OF THE LOWEST SWITCH WILL BE HEARD.
EXAMPLE 1: 3 + 4 ARE ON. YOU HEAR SHORT STANDARD (#3)
EXAMPLE 2: 1 + 3 + 4 ARE ON. YOU HEAR STANDARD (#1)
Recording a Custom Chime
- Two mono analog audio signals may be recorded by the DBI-2 to
create Custom Chimes. Analog signals to be recorded connect to the Audio Input. Stereo audio
signals can be adapted to mono using an RCA “Y” adaptor cable.
The DBI-2 was designed to record a Custom Chime at the same volume as the selectable chimes
when presented with a signal at the level of the typical CD player (@ 2V RMS). The headphone output
of many laptops achieves this level. If you choose to use a laptop as your source, start with the vol-
ume at full and adjust for the best sound quality. As the DBI-2 depends on externally adjusted record
levels, some trial and error may be required to obtain an exact match between a Custom Chime and
a selectable chime.
