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.
