I pulled up a Google search of the DSA, and they look very familiar to what I've seen in whitehouse.

If they did, they've been replaced with Mods, which are the only sirens I remember seeing since I can remember =p

Whatever it is its ATI, no doubt after looking at the boxes. I will say those look like newer style ATI boxes. Any idea when those went in?

Yeah I'm positive they did. I can vividly remember seeing them blending in with the pine trees.

After looking at the screenshots I took, the frame holding the horns appears to be a stand from ATI. So the siren could possibly be an early ATI "siren".

Wonder when they decided to replace them. Of course I am a bit on the young side

Probably when they stopped rotating and the drivers popped like alot of them do.

Yeah that electronic siren is definitely an ATI, has the ATI control cabinet and speaker mount.
