132dB, not 135. And Single-tone.

Pick up a Community RSH462, which is a stadium paging horn designed around four Community M200 midrange compression drivers. It should be capable of incredible output, and each M200 can withstand 50W of sine wave power and 200W of program power (transients, like those found in voice communications)....

I remember hearing that these sirens only have four of the eight ports open at any time, maximizing pressure in the horn throats, and thus the efficiency of the siren as a whole when operating from forced air. Teflon-coated rotors would also be indicative of very tight internal allowances, which wou...

Perhaps the delay is so that RapidShare can install a bunch of adware on your machine.

Take photos of the CTI sirens. Myself and many others have been waiting to see some used in actual installations. Do it.
