Is ACA's Banshee 115 same as Federal Signal's 2t22?

Thank you

The Banshee series never had horns, and did not have a dual-rotor/stator assembly. Not to mention they sounded totally different. The Banshee had the option of dual or single tone. That's what first comes to mind.

Thanks, Gill
The Banshee 115, lower left corner, appears to have a motor in the middle with upper rotor/stator and lower rotor/stator.
Disks take the place of individual cone projectors.

I believe the Banshee 115 you are talking about ended up being the Soundmaster siren, with some differences. ACA discarded those plans and never manufactured them. However, I may or may not be wrong.

ACA did manufacture a "Super" Banshee 115. Ben Henrichs who used to be a member here had a picture of a few of them from around Wisconsin and they varied in design. He also had pictures of some Soundmasters from Janesville.

The banshee 115 has a nine-to-twelve port-ratio, I think, doesn't it?

Sour fourth.

But it does not indicate which Banshee.

The super banshee was 8/12 ports. The regular Banshee with the stacked rotor was 9/12
