Duel-tone ASC Banshee

[Matt Hackler]

This is a recording of the only ASC in our system. It was taken from Ball State University after they installed 3 Whelen 4004's. Downtown had no coverage so the EMA decided to put it on top of the county courthouse. It was a very overcast, cold, and rainy day. But the test must go on....

Nice video, that Banshee has a nice tone too it, sounds like the banshee in my home town.

That is a GREAT sounding siren. I don't believe there are any on Long Island and thats to bad.

True we don't.
LI is almost strictly Federal country, with a few Sterlings thrown in and perhaps a few remaining yet inactive ACA Penetrators collecting rust on their poles from the days of the Shoreham nuke plant.
Nice to hear a Banshee in the wild, though...so to speak.

Nice video, even if it sounded a little underpowered, but I'm still waiting for a video of a single toned Banshee.

I am hoping to get one this March during the Kansas Statewide Tornado Drill. I had originally wanted to record it this Jan. but found our they test March-October. Also, It doesn't sound underpowered to me...

ASC called the banshee the OM-120

How many ports does a single-tone Banshee have?

[Thunderbolt 612]

I think 8 ports.
