Is there such thing as an ATI HPSS-8?

Mon Aug 28, 2023 12:13 am

I was making a Florida siren map and saw this mystery siren. I wasn't sure if it was some sort of ATI siren I didn't know existed or if it was some sort of ASC E-Class siren. Can anyone help me out? https://www.google.com/maps/@30.5450258 ... ?entry=ttu

Just by looking at the mount, I think this is an ATI. The mount for an E-Class appears much more sturdy than an ATI having a "truss" compared to the straight bars on ATI sirens not to mention that the bars are much thicker on an ASC siren compared to this one. As for if they exist, yes but they seem to be quite rare as I've only ever heard of them twice before. This is only the third one I've heard of. Neat find!

ATI HPSS-8s do exist, they're just HPSS-16s with only half the speakers. There's one here in Sarnia which faces into one of the chemical plants.

ATI only lists the HPSS-32 and HPSS-16 on their website, but you can order as little as an HPSS-4. HPSS-24s, 12s, and more exist as well.
Sirens may not be sexy, but they sure work.
