Add and edit audio bundles in SPC Connect Pro

Audio bundles include messages that can be played to users who are interacting with Compact and Comfort keypads that are connected to an SPC panel. You can create a new audio bundle by replicating and editing an existing bundle, or by importing an audio bundle in .rec format.
