This is a video of one of my older Whelen WS-277A siren controllers. This unit has the horn, wail, yelp and hi-low tones. This model includes lighting controls as well.

  • aye chris...was this siren made by carson...looks just like one...

  • No sir, this is a 100% Whelen item. It somewhat resembled the Carson/SVP Magnum controller...but i can guarantee the 227A is not a Carson product.

  • I can't find a 224 or 227...I've tried everywhere

  • They are hard to come by and if you find one, hold it for dear life. I was lucky to come across this, but i might be willing to sell it if the price is right. ;-)

  • how old is this siren

  • Its from the early 80's.

  • I am a Cleveland Police Officer and I have to say by far, this was the best siren we ever had! I miss it. If I could get this siren for my car now, I'd be happy. Very loud and people actually moved out of the way when I put that yelp on! Thanks for the memories.

  • "Get on it Mel , get on him ! " I can't forget that CPD chase scene from "Cops" One of the best ever .

  • We had these sirens in our 1986 Braun ambulances. The speakers were on the roof, and it would vibrate when it was on. Hated them.

  • Lmao, its so slow..

  • could you do a longer demo of just the manual?

  • I just got this siren,my friend has the amp.cant wait till it works!grat vid!

  • @chrisv4096

    Are you positive about that? Have you seen inside the siren? The only reason I ask is because I have a WS-295 that I figured was made by Whelen. Well, when I had it apart this weekend to work on it, on the circuit board was stamped "Made By Carson Manufacturing Inc". Never knew Carson made sirens for Whelen, lol...

  • Nope.....memphis used WS224.

  • i remember that siren from the episode of cops as well ......................theres another youtube video where an ambulance has one....look up " EMS supervisor responding"...it'll the ambulance on Shreveport..

  • Memphis still uses these on some under cover cars...i was watching a recent episode of first 48 and one of the undercover cars had this siren....

  • one of the best
