The Siren Board

Found this ASC I-Force Siren in The Milwaukee County Zoo And Not in the parking lot either It is right in the Middle of the Zoo propriety. It is also hooked to the county wide system.

To find it at the Zoo from main entrance go down the Middle road to the Y in the road/walkway look right you will see it .

That's very interesting! Is the zoo very big?

That's good, that area could use a voice siren.

Wow, good find! Very sensible move by the county. The zoo. if I have my facts straight, is a bit far from the nearest P-50 at Greenfield Park. Electronic sirens are always good for outdoor joints like zoos. This makes me wonder why they elected to put a T-112 at the Summerfest grounds.

Perhaps the P-50 at the state fairgrounds, which is turned off during the fair in order not to deafen fair-goers, could be supplanted with the I-Force.

This is only the second electronic siren in Milwaukee County, I believe.

RamFett should record it.

I may be mistaken but I believe I recall that the grounds at Summerfest have a PA system that could be used to make voice announcements.

Hope you mean "supplemented," not "supplanted," because if you meant the latter, it would imply than an I-Force is the equal of a P-50 in terms of effectiveness and coverage area during the rest of the year... :wtf:

I mean, I could see installing an I-force or three around the fairgrounds to provide secondary coverage in case the P-50 fails and to provide primary coverage during the Fair, but there's no way you could just *replace* the P-50 with an I-Force and have it do the job!
