Make sure only Carillon Control is heard through your church speakers.
Carillon Control sends audio through the audio output of your device to your church amplifier. That means any other sound produced by that device could potentially be heard through your church speakers.
For the most reliable operation, we strongly recommend dedicating a device exclusively to Carillon Control.
A dedicated device helps prevent email alerts, text messages, incoming calls, alarms, videos and other unintended sounds from being played through your church speakers.
Turn Do Not Disturb on.
In the Notifications settings, open the priority notification settings.
Do not allow unnecessary apps, calls or reminders to bypass Do Not Disturb.
Under Notifications from apps and other senders, turn off notifications for applications that are not needed on the dedicated Carillon Control computer.
Pay particular attention to:
Open the Windows Clock application and make sure there are no unwanted alarms configured.
Configure Windows power settings so the computer remains available while Carillon Control is expected to operate.
Keep the computer connected to AC power.
Close music applications, video applications, communication software and unnecessary browser tabs.
Leave Carillon Control open and ready for operation.
Once the device is prepared:
Turn the amplifier volume down.
Connect the device's audio output to an appropriate input on the church amplifier.
Depending on your device and amplifier, an audio cable or adapter may be required.
Verify that the device is using the correct audio output.
Open Carillon Control.
Select a bell or melody for testing.
Begin playback and slowly increase the amplifier volume to an appropriate level.
Stop playback and verify that no other unwanted device sounds can be heard.
Your Carillon Control system is ready.
If a notification, call, alarm or other unwanted sound is heard through the church speakers, turn down the amplifier and review the dedicated-device settings before returning the system to normal operation.
