Re: Huntsville AL Altec Giant Voice Warning System Video on youtube

That is simply amazing.. to bad the speaker array I pictured is gone, building demolished, and speakers can't be seen in satellite view any more.

EDIT: I find it interesting the picture I posted the horns are round, while ALL other pictures I can find are square.
I own: One complete SiraTone, another SiraTone control module, a 1600W MC, 2 old ATI controllers, 2 round ATI horns with drivers, a ATI-DSA 4 thing, a Federal Signal FC, AR timer and Siratrol, and a small CD&F.

So is that array that Valtonus found an Altec or a knockoff?

Hey Thunderbolt10031,

The Multi-Cell Horn that Valtonus found is an Original Altec Horn. Altec was the only company that made these Multi-Cell Horns.

Altec made these Multi-Cell Horns in many different shapes and sizes. All Horns had a name plate with the model number located inside one of the cells.

Here are example pictures of the I.D. plates:

Ok, cool! We had a long debate about that thing in Discord, I swore it was an Altec, but Val thought it was a knock off because of the round horn throats, single driver, and support bars. Glad that's cleared up! :D
