"Analog" Whelen WPS-4008 Wail - Waite Park, MN Tornado Siren Test

[@MidwestSirenProductions]

This made my jaw drop to the floor. This has to be the best sounding analog Whelen recording I’ve ever heard. Remarkable work here!

[@whammyp50]

This is an absolute masterpiece no cap

[@mattmakesmachines]

This thing must have been LOUD in person It’s a rotating directional 3200watt siren running on an analog ESC-864 The 4008 was and still is the loudest electronic siren ever manufactured and the analog controls are just barely louder then the digital controls so an analog 4008 is the loudest configuration whelen ever offered

[@freebrickproductions]

Great video! Looks like the top bracket went missing at some point, lol.

[@RedSkylinex60]

This has got to be an early 4008 since the 4008 came out in 1988 and the controller is tuned to a high pitch.

[@mattmakesmachines]

My favorite recording of an ESC-864

[@charlie_nolan]

These are so much more scary than the digital whelens.

[@IceBotYT]

YEAH RIGHT??!?

[@IceBotYT]

I agree 1 year ago me

[@warningsirensofmichio9660]

Thats awesome. Never knew of any of these that ran on analog controls before. Love the way it sounds

[@JMANWiSS]

Friendsville TN is the only other active one we know about. A bunch of the Seabrook ones were analog before getting 2030s.

[@sillystev0n]

I kinda like how it looks with the top cover/housing missing.

[@valrabellkeys9867]

Amazing video! Interesting that it doesn't have the top brace

[@CentralIllinoisSirens]

This video is awesome, love the timing.

[@yusufrosly3430]

this siren is freakishly louder than a 2001-130

[@bluegrasssirens1938]

Awesome video buddy! Sounds so good

[@EFTwo-n3z]

the top is gone and how to fix that siren

[@elevatorssirensofmsp248]

Nice vid, this things sounds great!

[@bornundersaturnz]

This is like the 4004’s big brother, taller and skinnier

[@ArxCyberwolfPC]

It's quite literally two 4004s stacked on top of each other into one siren, with additional brackets covering the top and bottom of the throat section.

[@ThunderboltSiren1003]

It reminds me of a 3016 also

[@MichanaAlerting]

​@@ThunderboltSiren1003 This was essentially a 3016 redesign to accommodate the new 400 watt drivers. It's just as wide as a 3016 but has 8 vertical throats instead of 16 staggered ones

[@twmax4137]

I’ve never seen it 4008 with no top cover

[@brandonburkest6229]

Now this is rare!!!

[@adammarshall1455]

Update 8-28 this siren is now replaced with a Federal Signal 2001

[@adamssirenadventures6574]

That 4008 looks like the Alertronic RE-1600

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

Analog = rare. Sounds like a 2001-130

[@sirenfan97]

Looks very odd with the top piece missing. Great video!

[@nancylucas7815]

Agreed. It's the first thing I noticed.

[@minnesconsinsirens6803]

Holy shit that’s amazing.

[@RBLUS_TY]

Sounds pretty good!

[@MusicCitySirens]

Great video!

[@AmericanSirenProductions]

Starting to think this is the Very Rare Whelen 4000-II

[@JMANWiSS]

Half of one, perhaps

[@linysirensandemergencyvehicles]

Very awesome!!

[@spenofzeros]

This almost looks like a WPS 4004 and a 3016

[@hotdogstockimage]

Will there be any plans to replace this siren? Because I hope to record it before its replaced in the near future

[@JMANWiSS]

None currently

[@adammarshall1455]

It’s now replaced with a Federal Signal 2001 😞

[@purpleviolet207]

Wow! Sounds so amazing!

[@rockstar5919]

No a fence but I don’t like dull tone. I’m not a big fan of it but btw great video glad to see you recording sirens again.

[@JMANWiSS]

This isn't dual tone it is single tone. Glad you liked the video

[@rockstar5919]

Oh then well I don’t like this single tone no a fence

[@minnesotaoutdoorwarningsirens]

This thing got replaced a few weeks ago

[@United_HVAC_and_Fans]

Fucking amazing! Seems very loud to distort the audio.

[@EASsirenVids01]

Whelen Alertronic AL-4000

[@CentralTexasSirens]

It looks like a Alertronic now because of the top cover is gone .😂

[@Dubby522]

Alertronic WPS 4008

[@ArxCyberwolfPC]

Alertronic AL-4008

[@CentralTexasSirens]

[@MiddleTNSirens]

[@goomanhlr5697]

[@CentralOHSirens]

[@nancylucas7815]

WOW! Its also missing the top thingy.

[@Toryganteng61]

[@SixThreeTech]

Oh yeah baby!

[@TheSirenGeek]

Oh yes

[@JMANWiSS]

Lots of drip coming out of MN that day.

[@adamssirenadventures6574]

Nice video

[@JP3_C6Z]

Wait….this is an OLD controller…I thought the 4008’s had the same as the 4004’s…

[@TEAMWHIRLWINDINTERCEPT]

They sound like pitched down siratones

[@oheck]

It is missing the top curved piece

[@penscratchthesprunkilover]

Siren Starts At 3:00

[@mjt777x8]

[@JMANWiSS]

What is there to be click baited about? Does exactly what is in the title

[@jalynhosea2262]

Kinda sounds like a 2001.
