I bought this horn speaker at a swap meet a few years ago.


Just wondering if anyone knows what it is actually used for ?

Ambulance PA system ?


It is a FEDERAL SIGNAL CORP.
Model TS200 - Series B1


Any help is appreciated,
Darren

An electronic sien speaker, a Federal TS 200 driver that has been put into a CP 100 (or CP 25) chrome shell. Usually found in some kind of "permanently mounted" situation, fire truck, ambulance, police car, not on the roof of a combination car in a "demountable" configuration..
 
This is what comes to mind when I see it...

The TS-200 was designed for customers that wanted a full 200 watts of power from a PA-200 in a speaker that would fit in their Aerodynic speaker enclosure. Two TS-100s wouldn't fit, so this is what Federal came up with. Several other vendors had their own versions such as Code 3's PSE-200.

We have a TS-200 on our restored 1985 Dodge (AHB) Diplomat. They have a unique (initial) low end wind-up sound that you can tell it's a TS-200 from others without actually seeing it, and very loud-penetrating when cycling. MM

Darren,
Your speaker began life as a Fedral CP-25, 58 watt speaker. You can distinguish the CP-25 from the CP-100 by the acorn nut on the rear. Someone has changed the tag or the reverser cone (which is interchangeable among all the Federal speakers).
