That's just a standard air intake for the M series. There is one of these on the top corner of a bank in Jefferson, GA. It sits inside of the 90 degree angle on the roof of the building. I've always wondered why the intakes are in the shape of a horn when the sound comes out of the shrouds over the rotors.

The horns may serve to guide the air into the rotors more smoothly
with less turbulance. This may increase efficiency.

Also, I was surprised to discover that much sound comes out of the rotor intake! -at least from my siren flashlight siren.

So, maybe they are making more effficient coupling of sound to the atmosphere using a horn.

I think the stator "hoods" are counterproductive.
