So after a busy few weeks, I figured I’d meet with MusicCitySirens to check out this newly installed Equinox system. For the newer enthusiasts, the Federal Signal Equinox is a lower-pitched, 8 port version of the 2001-130. This specific Equinox is located near Fire Station Two off Marrowbone Lane.
To our surprise, it didn't run the expected attack tone but instead ran ‘fast wail’ for a minute. Capturing one of the first videos of an Equinox using this signal was exciting, but experiencing it in person was even more awesome. You can hear our unbelief towards the end. It even had that signature, quick bite of sound similar to what a 2001 produces when it's facing your way. In fact, it was so intense that it maxed out one of my microphones, which is quite rare. I'll definitely be returning!
Sirens in Ashland City are tested on the first Sundays of the Month at 2pm, a pretty unique test time around the area.

Holy hell! An equinox in fast wail is something you don’t hear every day. These are the best sirens IMO. Great vid!
Love the sound of DC 8 port sirens running wail signals
Awesome Video Brandon!!
😂 It was nice to hear your excitement and disbelief - you both sounded even more thrilled than I was to see "Fast Wail" in the title. Awesome video, as usual. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like they installed it yesterday! prolly didn’t though but heckin fast wail on an Equinox?! That’s smthing I’ve never heard
Wow, this one sounds like an t-128! Epic video brandon
I Like it ✅
Very familiar to the T-128/135 and the 508. I got a recording of the Equinox in Kingstown, NC. Very good shot btw.
Nice
Nice! Equinoxes are my favorite type of 2001 sirens :)
(also the way they said holy sh*t made me laugh a bit lol)
These aren’t 2001’s
@@ValenDRVwhat just it's just a different port
@@ValenDRV.... no comment. 😐
@@ValenDRV They are part of the 2001 series.
@@borkluchtalarmThey are not. Look it up. Equinoxes are not a 2001.
this reminds me of the HLS sirens that did attack during operation desert fox
Fr lmao. However, it is much louder than an HLS at 128dB
First, but anyways nice test of a healthy equniox in fast wail! Very good vid as always
holly crap that was loud
you should go back and get an ambience of these be it would sound super creepy
Had no idea the 2001s could sound like that! Awesome video!!
It’s an equinox not a 2001
It’s not a 2001
@@mattmakesmachinesIs there any difference? It's the same as any other siren in terms of aesthetics.
@@autistazoeiro the equinox is just the 8 port brother of the 2001
If I’m not mistaken, Equinox’s were made after the 2001 series? All of the ones I’ve seen look basically brand new.
Is it just me or do no equinox sirens hold pitch well? Wonder if that’s why they don’t make them it sense anymore
it olmost sounds like a t-128
Hey bud We are Siren Max tv, A sister page to Tech 360 Dallas. would you still like to be in our future Siren comps?
You should visit Huntsville Alabama sirens, they mainly have 2001s with a few exceptions.
Oh and one more thing, they test on the first Wednesday at noon, weather permitting. Soon after you record one of Huntsville's sirens, if you have time you could visit Grant Alabama to see their Whelen sirens. Idk what kinds they have but my guess would be the 2800 series.

@@kansasclocksandsirens idk, I guess it's because I'm on mobile.
@@kennethryanwitmerw00d15 Ah ok
How much db is the siren?
Are equinox the same as 2001s but low tone?
Basically a 2001, but with a 508/T-128 Chopper, so it's just a variant of 2001.
This model looks relatively new, when did they start making these? I've never seen them before.
They’ve been making them for over a decade now, it was kind of their test run for the 508.
@@TheSleepyMechanic0524they’re still made? I thought they got discontinued when they came out with the 508
@@BRISTOLFORCE2009 nah, they’re still made as far as I know. Just gotta custom order them? Not sure.
@@TheSleepyMechanic0524I think this is the same case for the EOWS series. They were discontinued but for a while they were able to still be made on special request. I’m pretty sure that’s what happening for this
@@ValenDRV yes, actually! I learned something like that recently. Hawaii ordered a EOWS-612 in green that didn’t rotate due to where it was installed. It was around 2007, and used whatever modern controller their electronic sirens came with, as the ones produced with the 612 had long since been discontinued
How does the Equinox differ from the 2001? Newer model?
The Equinox was introduced in 2011 as an 8-port version of the 2001-130. They are both still produced to this day.
It's not a 2001, it's essentially a spinoff. It's more like a variant. Rather than a 12-port rotor and stator, the Equinox used 8-port like the 508-128.
What they do to it to make it lower pitched than 2001
They made it 8-port instead of 12 port.
The newer version of the 2001?
No, not really. It's jut a variant
Oh ok
Honestly I wish
🤓@@BRISTOLFORCE2009
2001s are still in production and widely used, this arent really seen a bunch
just like eclipse 8s
Not a test?
Nice video dsrx100 can you reply
You had a golden opportunity to use a siren censor and didn’t. What a scam.
It IS a siren censor…an ATI one 😂
@@DSRX100 Touche.
@@DSRX100 ji
@@DSRX100 hi
I have that siren :)
No you dont
WHY DO THEY SOUND LIKE FS 508'S??????
The Equinox was introduced in 2011 as an 8-port version of the 2001-130. They are both still produced to this day.
the 508 and the 2001 equinox are both made by federal signal. because of that, the choppers are casted by the same casting company.
I don’t Like it
