Whelen 2810 in Wail (w/ voice)

[sirenman1bd]

This is the Whelen 2810 that makes it's home right outside my Grandpa's house. It being a 2810 is really only my guess, it could be something else.

Enjoy!

What city does your Grandpa live in by chance? I want to see if it's the same city I'm thinking of.

Im guessing Witchita Falls, TX, just because of the setup of the siren, and also cause it sits right in the middle of a neighborhood.

wow what a message, TORNADO.........WARNING!
Man it sure takes forever for this thing to say its message. Dangerous

Sounds like the tones are skipping about, audio recording is clear.

From my personal experiences, the audio quality on the omnidirectional Whelens is horrible. They sound muffled, tinny, and like all the plastic is vibrating (which I'm sure it is) whenever I've heard 2700s, 2800s, and 2900s go off- voice and tone. The 4000s (and even 3016s) are much clearer with the voice and tone...they just take forever to broadcast a message.

By far the crispest reproduction of a sound that I've heard from an omnidirectional siren was when FSU tested their i-Force sirens.

The best from a rotating/oscillating siren was the Whelen 4000 at FAU.

EOWS* 612s with MCPs/UltraVoices do a very nice recorded and live voice.

As for the I-Forces, why do you think ASC market them as 'high speech intelligibility'?

He lives in Plano, TX, just north of Dallas.
