Possible Klaxon ripoff of a Whelen

[JeroenTheEnthusiast]

Hey Guys!

Today i was scrolling through some images on Klaxon ES sirens and i was Surprised to see THIS!

(https://trends.directindustry.com/klaxo ... 75910.html)

I was surprised to see something like this, If you look closely, You can see how it looks similar to the Whelen 2900/2800 series. It kind of looks a little like a Whelen 2802/2902 but Painted white. It also looks mildy Similar to a Modulator.

On the electronic siren side of things, Klaxon is actually a reseller of sirens from the company Comtel in Greece. This is one of the products that they produce called the Sound Box Electronic siren, which comes as either a single-emitter siren or a two-emitter unit, which I'll attach below. They are meant to be mini sirens that can be used as a local outdoor PA system or indoor sirens for something like a medium-sized warehouse or large building space. These would primarily compete against something like Kockum Sonics and the SiRcom ET 500 series or the Genasys 360XL-MID series. They more like a miniature version of a Modulator or the Genasys than anything else. The driver is housed in the upper pod and fires down onto the one below it where the sound reflects off of the top and into the surrounding environment. They both sell them as a vehicular siren as shown in the image you shared as well as a drone... I'm not kidding either. Dear Santa

I can see how it competes against a Kockum Sonics ET500. I honestly would wanna get myself one of those siren drones if they were even for sale so i can be the most annoying neighbor in my town

The drone slightly reminds me of the concept of having sirens mounted on balloons which was explored during World War I. Obviously the idea was scrapped by the government at the time (although sirens would go on to be used during World War II, albeit mounted on poles and rooves), but it's funny to see it reincarnated in this more modernised form!

It more looks like an ACA Quadron or FS Modulator, But even then it looks different. This is more just like a standard electric siren. Also that drone thing is super cool and I wanna see that

I guess were gonna start mounting Modulators and Whelens on Drones if mounting sirens on drones become popular
