Carnation Washington’s 1985 Whelen WPS-2808 & 1993 Whelen WPS-2803’s have lasted their whole life sound great but will unfortunately be deactivated October 18th 2023. Those things sound insane though & I love the old Analog ESC-864 tones. It’d be cool if you could bring back those tones

I watched a video on You tube about the Whelen company and the town police chief. Jerry Maslan is a disgrace to the this company (in picture). The actual reason for these videos is to show the citizens how their employees interact with the public and to expose corruption.

I LOVE Whelen sirens. I own a 1988 Whelen WPS-3000 model that of course uses a ESC-864 Analog controller and my gosh, they sure are amazing. As for their current products, I think they do a great job trying the be the best electronic siren manufacture in the united states. Whelens definitely sound better and are a better choice than Federal Signal's electronic sirens for example. Compared to the standard Hz level that is set at 850 Hz on Federal Signals Ultravoice controllers compared to Whelen's controllers which are set standard at 560 Hz, they seem like they take better pride into sirens than the more common Federal Signal sirens. Plus, because Whelens use 400 watt speaker drivers while FS just uses a bunch of 100 watt speaker drivers, why go through all the complication when you can just simply use bigger and better drivers while at the same time being louder and not needed as many parts or objects needed for a single warning siren? A Federal Signal Modulator can get as much as 32 100 watt speaker drivers (4 each cell) while Whelens on the other hand go as high as 10 400 watt speaker drivers and at the same time is louder and more easily audible from a distance as well as up-close. Whelen, you people are amazing. Keep up the good works. 🙂

Absolutely amazing customer service, brilliant lighting, high quality, amazing engineering.

There is a reason that Whelen is a top leader in emergency lighting and equipment and that's because they provide only the best products in the industry.

We use Whelen as our exclusive provider for film and movie production cars because they can't be beat. Even compared to actual police vehicles using other brands we put them to shame with brighter and more effective scene lighting. Beyond that, they're products are easier to install then other brands, they're more durable and reliable, and require less maintenance and repair leaving our production car ready to film at a moment's notice. With Whelen, we know it will work.

Patty and Jason and the technical support at Whelen just concrete our faith in our partnership. They're outstanding knowledge and customer service will keep us repeat customers and we will recommend Whelen to anyone who wants a quality and reliable product.

Frank’s LLC has been using Whelen since 1992 and would never use any other! Their lighting products are unbeatable. Even after being offered by a competing company, free of charge to outfit some of my wreckers, Frank’s declined, just to give testimony of how stellar this company and their products are.

Best new generation siren company! Can't go wrong! The WPS series is probably the best siren on the market today. At 129 db(c) it can be heard for over 2 miles. I do have to say though, the life expectancy is a little below average. It is an easy fix though. Mainly the main issue I have experienced in the past is blown drivers. These sirens are very loud and offer many tones to give more than a generic warning tone. Has voice on WPS-400X and WPS-28/9XX. Voice clarity is simply amazing. When seeing these in action, rumbles the chest and after the test, other sirens in the area can be heard almost clearly, even if 2 miles away.
