What are the differences between the Modulator 6024, 6032, and the 6048?

[Lily D]

Here's a question that I probably should know: What are the differences between the Modulator 6024, 6032, and 6048? Are there any visual and/or audible differences?

Number of drivers.

The Mod 6024 has 1 driver per channel for 24 100-watt drivers total.

The Mod 6032 had two 100 watt drivers per channel in the center cells for a total of 32 drivers. The 6048 had two drivers per channel in all the cells for a total of 48 100-watt drivers. Both have been discontinued in favor of the Mod II 8032.

No visual differences on the siren head. However, because the 6048 required more amps than the controllers could hold, two sets of boxes were required. If you see two sets of boxes wired together on a Mod pole, it's a dead giveaway it's a 6048.

More drivers means louder siren so yes, there's an audible difference that way.

No visual differences but of course more drivers means louder siren so yes, there's an audible difference that way.

Thank you!

Actually the 6024 has 4 drivers per cell, and the 6032, meh I'm not sure, and the 6048 has 8 drivers per cell. :mod: :TBolt:

So you just bumped my 9 month old reply...which you clearly didn't read (or you'd know how many drivers were in a 6032 and where)...just to tell me I'm right (there's 4 channels per cell). So helpful.

200Watt driver?

[DJ2226]

No, two 100 watt drivers are connected together by an adapter and feed into one of the channels inside the cell. I don't have an image on hand of one of the cells, but given that I-Forces are designed in a similar way with 800 watts per cell here's a screenshot of the guts. The drivers together feed into horns that send the sound down to be reflect off of the cells in mostly the same way as the Modulators. The newer Modulator II series uses 400 watts on all cells.

Ahhh. So 2 drivers connected per the little thingy that hold them?
EDIT: On the Modulator picture, are all the wires in the dummy cell?
