Federal Signal PA20A Interceptor Siren

[@markmanning5683]

You are making it tough on us Old Retired guy's. Memories.. Ah!

[@fdny3526]

1970s police sirens brought back to life

[@maxter_paradise]

Right now I understand that of PA20 in GTA5 siren files

[@psaccount6524]

Sounds like the fire truck siren

[@maxter_paradise]

@@psaccount6524 yes

[@anthonyforzono6247]

The fire truck siren is a lower pitch version of the police siren. The ambulance is the PA-20

[@boalston2484]

It’s crazy that we ended up here because of the same reason

[@patstiff]

What I grew up with, best siren ever!!

[@AskonDBZ]

Same Wail as GTA V's police, cool sound!

[@VickiVampiressYT]

Well, now I'm 100% sure what they used to replicate the 60s-70s sirens you hear in the game Mafia 3. These things sound amazing. I wasn't even alive in the 60s and 70s, but somehow these sounds are nostalgic to me.

[@vandermey001]

That odd tone at :37 is from the blues brothers lol

[@Petefx86]

Still the best sounding siren.

[@MarinePigVa]

Been in LE since 1994, why have I not heard of the settings between? I still remember my first day on day shift. At the academy they taught wailing on long stretches, yelp upon approaching an intersection, and hi-lo while in intersection. First call I did that, my FTO reached down and put the siren back on yelp and said "What... you think you are in F^%k*%g Europe.

Series 2E, c. 1970s.

[@supertrinigamer]

Very interesting system, how peculiar, inbetween tones xD

[@danprocessor7458]

it was heard in The Blues Brothers during the highway chase up to Chicago and into Lower Wacker, i think this was supposed to sound like a "ping pong" if you know what i mean.

[@supertrinigamer]

@@danprocessor7458 Yeah, I actually heard the inbetween tones in that movie first.

[@THEFINALHAZARD]

Aren’t these in between tones bad for the capacitors though?

[@WK-fk8mt]

@@THEFINALHAZARD not too sure. I heard back in the day some departments used to use the in-between tones a lot, but nothing I can verify. Mine is just a collectible chilling in my basement now, so not too worried about wear and tear

[@ACAAllertor125]

I always Love Hi Lo.

[@dasbohler]

Best Siren ever!

[@capitolemiproducer]

Adam 12 siren... The best LAPD ever had, they don't make them like this anymore

[@lobsterwhisperer7932]

My dad gave his Interceptor siren, unfortunately i have no cables. Are these cables propriety?

[@Petefx86]

No. Standard 8-pin cinch type connector. Still available. The user manual and pin connections are downloadable for free in PDF format. Just google it.

[@superowen21]

How do you have it setup at your house? I want to do something similar with a SoundOff Signal nERGY 400 Series 200 Watt Dual-tone and want to be able to have it on my table. Not sure how I'd be able to make it all work! If you have any recomendations or articles I should read please lt me know!

[@WK-fk8mt]

At first I used to use a motorcycle battery, but the way more sustainable way is to use a bench top AC to DC converter. I have a pyramid PSV-300. You might be able to find a cheaper one nowadays, I think I paid like $80. That gives you a power and a ground. I also use a resister in line with the speaker wire so it’s not deafening indoors. Be careful, the volume is damaging at full power.

Hola tendrás el diagrama de instalación porfavor

[@BrandyCattle30]

Does it have a horn signal

[@WK-fk8mt]

No, I think that was introduced with later Federal Signal sirens
