- This particular Wednesday, I had taken off early from work to record the Mobil Directo in Milwaukee and then headed home. Shortly after, I got a message from Jeff that people were meeting up at the new T-128 in Butler, literally a few blocks up the street from my house, so I headed up to join. I had already heard it for tornado warnings the week prior, but I figured it would be good to meet everyone and see the fresh install.
It was pretty awesome to see the divisive new horn design (I guess I don't hate it, but the old ones look better) with a bunch of other enthusiasts. After the test, It turned into a long convo with a few others about all sorts of siren-related topics - long to the extent that I got sunburnt from standing around yapping in the parking lot. Good times!
Please excuse the low quality on display here. While I absolutely cringe every time I see this sort of garbage footage from my old S5IS used for a main shot, it won't be the case anymore. To clarify, I do have a few old Milwaukee vids that will make their way here, but new recordings are being done with much better equipment. Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy!

Did you know that T128s intake through the small triangles on the outside of the horns?
There goes the citrus juicer again!
What citrus juicer?
@@bambam0731 The middle of the siren's "face" kinda looks like a manually-operated citrus juicer. Search "Japanese ceramic citrus juicer - fort & field" and you will see what I mean.
@@bambam0731you wouldn’t get it
I live there
I dont even know what the benefit of the new horn design is, I'd think the shorter divisions would make the horns amplify the sound less and reduce its output. Cool how it stopped facing you though!
@MichanaAlerting My thoughts exactly. I'd assume that, like a lot of "design improvements" in consumer products, it's simply cheaper to manufacture this way.
@@RamFett I wonder how it could be cheaper though, the mold they use now is probably a more complicated shape
@MichanaAlerting It could be something as simple as using less material, or being easier to release from the mold. Idk, just theorizing.
What’s different about it? Looks the same to me
@BRISTOLFORCE2009 The old style projectors come to a flat, straight edge between the ports. This one has a curved, concave profile to the same area.
Video looks good to me. I like the older quality cameras anyways lol.
Thanks, man. It's all I had at the time, LOL.
