Page 2 of 11
The Verdin Company, founded in 1842 by Francis Verdin, has through the years,
received many awards for designs and innovations created for electronic carillons.
Leadership in designs and developments has included, the first multi-tape deck units for
electronic systems, the first solid state circuitry instruments and carillons, the first to use
four track cartridge and then cassette technology, the first mini-computer system for the
playing of bells by complete automation, and today the first to allow customers to
instantly operate their digital carillon instruments in three ways: by carillon console, by
full function wireless remote control, and by computer link.
Celebrating its 170th anniversary in 2012,
under the fifth generation of Verdin
ownership and management, the Verdin
Company has more experience delivering
quality solutions to customers than all
other companies, combined. This
experience has been gained from the more
than 50,000 installations throughout North
America; and the understanding of
customer requirements, how our products
are utilized, and the value our customers
place on the music of bells.
Verdin manufactures, sells, and services its products directly, never through dealers or
third party resellers. We are responsible and accountable directly to our customers.
Verdin understands our customers’ needs and always delivers on our promise of quality.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BELLS
It has always been recognized that cast bronze bells are the ultimate in beauty and sound.
A carillon of cast bronze bells has been described as the world’s most majestic
instrument, spreading both a cultural and spiritual atmosphere to all within hearing
distance. Thus, the primary consideration of a digital electronic carillon should be, first of
all, the sound, and how closely it reproduces the actual sound of tuned cast bronze bells.
The Supreme’s traditional cast bell voice contains first generation samples of real, tuned
cast bronze bells. A tuned cast bronze bell contains an internal harmonic structure of a
Hum Tone or Fundamental, First Octave or Prime, Minor Third or Tierce, Perfect Fifth or
Quint, and finally a Second Octave. It is the varying Intensities of the different partials in
the harmonic structure and the relative Decaying rates of these partials that influence the
sound spectrum which determines the sound the ears will hear.
Verdin, by sampling real cast bronze bells, captures the full richness and harmonics of
blended tones and partials, that can only be created with real cast bronze bells. Verdin
digital carillons are NEVER generated from struck metal rods or tubes that are then
synthesized through computers to mimic the sounds of bells, or through the use of a
MIDI sound synthesizer, in other words, NEVER computer created sounds and music.
Page 5 of 11
The swinging bells, tolls, and music were recorded by a professional carillonneur,
sampled at 32-bit resolution with a sampling rate of 48-kHz. Since this sound is
reproduced from the original digital source, the sound is authentic and has no degradation
over time. The Verdin traditional cast bronze bell voice has a 61 note, five octave range.
The Verdin Supreme digital carillon offers two primary voices: traditional tuned cast
bronze bells and the cast bronze bells with harp accompaniment. Both of the voices are
available for any musical selection in the delivered music package and both are playable
manually by an optional 61-note touch sensitive musical keyboard. Also available in the
Supreme as a tonal option are additional voices that include American Bells, Flemish
Bells, Tubular Chime, European Bells, English Bells, Orchestral Harp, Orchestral
Strings, plus others that will give you a very wide voicing palette.
BELL PLAYING FUNCTIONS
(A) SWINGING BELLS. The Supreme reproduces the sounds of a three-bell and
six-bell peal as well as seven individual swinging bells. All functions can be
scheduled to start at any time on any one minute increment. The Supreme’s
digital sampling process replicates the realistic starting and decaying sounds
of actual swinging cast bells.
(B) HOUR STRIKE OPTIONS. The Hour Strike can be rung on the hour, the
hour and half hour, or not at all. Chimes can be programmed to precede hour
and half-hour strikes, so that the first strike of the hour will be exactly on the
hour.
(C) CHIMING OPTIONS. The Supreme features nine chimes including
Westminster, Whittington, St. Michael, Lourdes/Ave Maria, Norwich,
Tennyson, Parsifal, Winchester, and Ding Dong Hour Strike. The Chimes can
be selected for all four quarter-hours, half-hours, hours only, or none.
(D) TOLLING BELLS. The Supreme comes pre-programmed with a manual
Instant Toll (single strike of the bell), Funeral Toll (one strike on the bell
every ten seconds with manual stop) and has a five minute time-out feature,
and a Counted Toll (enter the exact number of strikes). Each of the tolling
bells options have nine different sizes of bells that may be selected by the
user.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CLOCK CONTROLLER
The clock is a totally solid state
microprocessor based system, which is
fully programmable to any minute,
hour or various days, thus allowing
maximum flexibility in ringing the
bells. It is in complete control of the
user program. It contains the real-time
clock, the sampler to produce all the
above mentioned bell rings, the
program memory, the display, the user
interface, all power sources required and the means for scheduling the entire system. The
clock can be programmed for every day of the week in any one-minute increments.
Therefore, any program schedule can be created. The clock is accurate to within 30
seconds per year. Daylight Saving/Standard time changes are made automatically.
Duration times (number of minutes of operation) are also fully programmable by the user
for a swinging bell, the Peals, and the Toll.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED SUPREME CARILLON COMPONENTS
(A) The Display and Control Keys. The Verdin Supreme Carillon features a
large, illuminated 9” color display for easy viewing. All scheduling of the carillon
(setting the clock, user programming, etc.) is accomplished using only the menu
screen and eight “push buttons”. This eliminates confusion associated with
abbreviated character displays or small two line displays.
(B) The Real-Time Clock and Battery Backup. The system clock consists of a
quartz-controlled clock-calendar circuit whose display is in 24-hour time format.
Its display shows accuracy to the second. The clock is easily set by the user. The
carillon is accompanied by a lithium battery, which will power the clock in the
event of a power outage. The battery has an expected life of ten (10) years.
(C) The Program Memory. The user program is stored in Flash RAM memory
and is not dependent on the clock battery for maintaining the program in the event
of a power outage.
(D) The Sampler. The Verdin Supreme carillon contains the finest bell-ring
sampler on the market today. Samples are permanently stored on memory chips
so as to provide no loading time of the sound into memory. The sampler does not
impose length on samples. In fact, to accomplish the sophisticated peal and
swinging bell sounds, digital samples up to sixteen (16) seconds in length are
used. The Verdin carillon sampler includes commands to stop and restart samples,
so that sophisticated rings can be produced. The carillon has a separate sampler
system at 32-bit resolution at 48-kHz sampling rate.

(E) Power Sources. All the DC voltages required by the controller are generated
within it. In addition, if there is an interruption in power to the system, the battery
back up will forward the clock to the current time when power is restored.
(F) Computer Interface. The Supreme carillon includes the Computer/Local
Area Network Interface. This interface allows complete control of quick play,
scheduling, and all other operations of the Supreme by computer. Directly
connect a computer to the Ethernet connection on the Supreme carillon and play
any pre-recorded carillon music or bell function instantly and live from the
computer or directly schedule programs and events instantly and live. Or, connect
the Supreme directly to a Local Area Network via the Ethernet connection and
operate the carillon remotely by any computer also connected to the local area
network. Examples of the screen shots are noted below.
(G) Monitor Speaker. The Supreme carillon console contains a monitor speaker
with volume control for monitoring the programs played through the exterior
speakers.
(H) MP3 Play Capability. In addition to the MIDI bell voices the Supreme has
the ability to play MP3 music files. You are able to load your favorite song or
hymn selections, previously recorded in MP3 format, into the Supreme for
replay. These selections can be played using the instant play functions or
scheduled to play at future dates and times, just like the bell selections.
Optional Alert Tones are available from Verdin.
(I) Included Four Function Wireless Remote Control.
The four function wireless remote control consists of
four push button controls and a solid state receiver. The
remote may be programmed for any four manual control
functions such as the instant toll, funeral toll, single bell
strike, peal, or any musical selection. The range of the
wireless remote is approximately 600 feet in a direct line
of sight. Additional transmitters are also available.
