Configurations
Single Zone PA System
Description: This configuration is the most common setup for BellCommander when used as a single-zone school bell system. In this arrangement, an audio cable is ran directly from the PC sound card's line out to the PA system's line in or auxiliary input. The existing speakers from the amplifier or PA system are then used to play the audio from BellCommander. This is common replacement for physical school bell timers, which are often difficult to program.
