To add custom files, you’ll need to add the file to the speakers/receivers themselves. After you’ve connected
to the VPS software and selected your device, you’ll see an icon at the top that says Alerts. This is where you’ll
upload the files. Once you have it open, simply add the files you want, and click program.
The audio files must be 8-bit Mono WAV files, with one of the following formats and sample rates:
• 8.000 kHz, 8-bit, Mono
• 11.025 kHz, 8-bit, Mono
• 16.000 kHz, 8-bit, Mono
• 22.050 kHz, 8-bit, Mono
•
We recommend using 16.000 or 22.050kHz for better audio quality with voice recordings.
For formatting the audio files, if you do not have access to other file conversion software, we recommend
using an online WAV converter like:
https://audio.online-convert.com/convert-to-wav to convert the files to
the proper format.
The audio files will need to be uploaded to each of the speakers to work, and they will need to be uploaded
in the same order if you are using multiple audio files. Custom audio files start at #11. We strongly recommend
numbering the audio files so that you can keep track of them and ensure they’re uploaded in the right order
so the speakers are playing the same message when triggered. Save these in a folder on your PC, as you will
not be able to read files from the units after they are uploaded onto the speakers.
Click the Add button at the bottom, and locate the desired WAV files on your PC. After adding all the desired
audio files, click the program button.
If the files you’re attempting to load are too large, the software will give you an error message saying so. If
you’re using larger audio files, you’ll want to change the “Memory Alerts Configuration” you see at the top of
the screen. The default is 32 files approximately 16 seconds long each (at 8KHz). If you have longer audio files
or are using a higher rate like 16KHz, you may need to change the configuration. When doing this, it will erase
the current custom files you have loaded on the speaker, but will not affect the built-in audio files. After
selecting the desired configuration, click the update configuration button. Click the program button after you
have changed the memory configuration and selected the audio files.
