WHAT IS THE SONOROUS MODEL 1?
The Sonorous™ Model 1 is a state-of-the-art digital audio recording and playback
device designed to provide a continuous-play audio source for message-on-hold,
background music, or any other audio application where high-quality audio
playback is required. The audio program is loaded from a standard MP3 burned
CD using a pure digital-to-digital transfer into a high-density flash memory file
system. After audio is loaded, the CD can be removed and the audio is played
from its 8Ωor 1KΩoutput jacks on the rear of the unit.
The Sonorous is also available with the optional Sonocrypt™ encryption key
technology. This technology enables you to protect your units from being loaded
with any unauthorized .mp3 file. When a CD is burned, an additional key file
must be placed on the CD to make it work. These key files are only supplied to
dealers using this feature.
The Sonorous Model 1 is the most versatile digital player of its kind with a list of
features that includes:
9CD-ROM Loadable – using standard MP3’s burned onto a CD
9Base memory of 64 minutes @ 32Kbps
9Bit rates up to 128K bits-per-second
9Sample rates up to 48KHz
9Industry standard time-proven CD-ROM drive
9Sonocrypt™ encryption key technology
9Built-in monitor speaker
9Extruded aluminum & steel construction
95-year parts and labor warranty
9Manufactured in the USA
Each Sonorous is built to exacting quality standards using state-of-the-art SMT
(surface mount) assembly for outstanding reliability and years of dependable
service.
To get the best possible performance from your Sonorous, please take the time
to read this manual and fully familiarize yourself with how the Sonorous works
before you begin installation.

CD PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
To get the best audio reproduction, it is essential to start with a high-quality
recording. In order to load into memory properly, your audio CD program must
conform to the following guidelines exactly.
1. Be sure to include a 1 second music Fade In and 1 second music Fade Out at
the beginning and end of each message, similar to the audio file above. This
will give you better continuity between messages.
2. Use only MPEG-2 or MPEG-3 (also known as .mp3 files) on CD-R, or CD-RW
CD’s.
3. The Sonorous loads your .mp3 files into memory alphabetically. If your
messages must play in a specific order, we suggest adding a 3-digit number
in the prefix. For example… 100Promo1.mp3, 101Message1.mp3,
102Promo2, 103Message3.mp3, etc. The Sonorous will load these messages
according to the 3-digit number before them. Any alphabetical naming
convention will work, however, do not use fewer than 3-digits as the Sonorous
will load a file named 20Promo1.mp3 before a file named 3Promo2.mp3 etc.
4. Record your .mp3 productions as a Data CD using your existing CD Burner
Software. If you are using Sonocrypt™or Sonocrypt2™, you must burn the
key file along with your .mp3 production(s).
NOTE: Some audio editors embed album art or cover art into the .mp3 files. Some
of these files may not be compatible with the Sonorous.

MESSAGE LENGTH TABLES
Message length is determined by the bit-rate of the audio file. Refer to the table
below to determine the maximum memory of each unit.
Model
Number Maximum
Memory
S1XX64NSTD 16MB (16,777,216 bytes)
S1X128NSTD 32MB (33,554,432 bytes)
S1X256NSTD 64MB (67,108,864 bytes)
S1X512NSTD 128MB (134,217,728 bytes)
S11024NSTD 256MB (268,435,476 bytes)
S12040NSTD 512MB (536,870,912 bytes)
S13064NSTD 768MB (805,306,368 bytes)
The Sonorous may store up to 500 messages, assuming the total size of all
messages does not exceed the maximum memory of the unit stated above. As a
general rule of thumb, allow extra memory to be used by the unit’s file system. Any
messages that exceed the estimated memory (Base 16MB x 1,000,000 = 16,000,000
bytes) might not be downloaded into the unit.
The actual size of the message(s) can be found by viewing the Properties information
of the selected file(s). View the Size on disk label. (The larger of the two)
In the example above, the size of the file is 3,842,048 bytes. If you divide that by
1,048,576, the result, 3.66MB, will be the size of the file in MB. On a base 16MB
Sonorous, you still have 12.34MB of available memory.

INSTALLATION
Step 1 – Connections
Locate the Sonorous within 6 feet of an 110VAC outlet. The unit is designed to
be placed on a flat, level surface or securely mounted on a wall. Be sure to
leave clearance for connections and adjustments.
Important: Devices that emit strong electromagnetic fields such as computer
monitors and fluorescent lights may interfere with message loading, so locate
the unit at least a few feet away from such devices.
To help protect against power surges and other electrical problems, the use of a
quality surge suppressor strip (which is different from a standard multi-outlet
power strip) is strongly recommended. Damage caused by power surges,
lightning, or other electrical problems are not covered under warranty.
