The BRG Carillon Bell System includes everything needed to reproduce the beautiful sound of real cast bells and chimes. The CBS5000 carillon includes Color Monitor, Computer Controller, GPS Time Receiver, MA 1200 Watt Capacity Power Amplifier, 600 Watt Capacity Speakers, and nearly 2,000 bells, chimes, and hymns.
The carillon includes internal solid state memory, disk drive and a CD player that can store an almost unlimited number of song tracks.
Outdoor Speakers - The BRG CBS5000 Carillon includes four, 600 Watt capacity, long range, wide-throat horn speakers with a total capacity of 2,400 Watts. BRG speakers have the capacity to accurately amplify the sound of heavy cast bells. Most competing products offer single driver speakers with 50-100 Watt drivers. The BRG custom designed quadruple redundant speaker driver system increases reliability and range. Furthermore, the drivers are much less likely to be damaged at higher power levels compared to competing single driver products. The wide-throat horn design improves sound quality at high power levels. Each speaker includes a swivel mounting bracket. The speakers can be directly exposed to the elements.
GPS Time Receiver - This feature provides the correct time, all the time. It does this by receiving time synchronization signals from the U.S. Atomic clock located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. When the carillon chimes the hour, the community will recognize it's accuracy. Not only will the bells give the church a presence in the community, but it will be a presence people can rely upon.
The BRG Carillon uses the most powerful amplifiers in the industry. The reason is not simply to produce higher volume, but rather to accurately reproduce the sound of the heavy cast bells. A lot of energy is required to reproduce the sound of bells weighing thousands of pounds. If the amplifier is under-powered, the lighter bells will over shadow the heavy bells. BRG offers a 2,400 Watt Capacity Power Amplifier Upgrade to deliver more volume. See the Upgrades section for mor details.
"It's easy to operate. All I had to do was call the factory toll-free and tell them how I wanted the bells to ring. They walked me through setting up my play schedule right over the telephone. I had the system playing beautiful music in no time."
