Sure. You can play anything through a speaker. I am surprised someone hasn't already hacked someone's siren system and broadcast music or comments.

SiraTone tone generator systems have several pre-recorded tunes with them and I believe more can be added through MIDI.

I belave you need to learn propor grammor.....

Possible, yes? Good, no. It would probably be VERY distorted.

[loudmouth]

[Hacksaw]

The Modulators I helped hook up have a microphone jack in the control box.

Yes, voice will be distorted some, though.

Highly dependent on the audio processing circuitry and the compression drivers in the siren itself.

You just can't upload your favourite gangsta' song to a siren and expect it to play, the controller itself isn't a music player. I'd say it would be more flexible and more effective (storage wise) to have the audio files stored in the MIDI format (20KB MIDI compared to four or 5MB MP3 file), live audio fed directly from the receiver and automated emergency messages based from the Microsoft Text to Speech API or similar.

Compression drivers in sirens aren't built for bass, so chances that your music will destroy the driver are increased.

Thats an entirely different speaker/system.
