(Thanks Charlotte I-485!), but regardless I made it with time to spare. This siren is tested every fire department meeting day at 6:30 and is used as a dinner bell. Please do not go pester them about this, as they were nice enough to set it off for me as is. This is as far as I know the only known rotational Sterling Model M in the entire world, so sit back and enjoy this one-of-a-kind scream to life.

love how you can hear the 8 and 16 ports individually when it rotates
That's the sound from the intakes. Really prominent, especially in person.
Rocking it with the Ozzy intro. This thing is so wonderfully cursed and amazing at the same time. Basically same premise as the Calhan 500DHTT in Colorado
So many weird variations of sirens have been popping up recently on RUclips, love to see it.
Saw a stl 10 explode the other day here, now we need a flaming sth 10
This is so absurd yet awesome. It's amazing how much of a difference the rotation makes in directing the sound.
Again though, wtf. I still can't believe this incredible feat of engineering actually exists.
Hoo- Wow. Now that's Crazy.
I'm glad you were able to make it up to see this...monumental machine. This is a true one of a kind, and the kind of thing some probably won't believe is real before seeing it.
Oh and for those who say intake sound aint a thing....GET BENT LOL
Nice catch! It's so weird seeing an omni-directional siren rigged up to spin like this. Also, nice one on the No More Tears intro, good taste in music.
I have no words…
Why the hell does it think it's a Sirex!?
I’m assuming because it looks identical to one
Cuz he think he’s a special one
@@therailcat9790not identical
They put another motor for rotation
Ones that rotate are on old billboard motors
Good lord. That is trippy to watch and hear. Its directonality actually serves as a perfect example of why they switched from this style of siren to a true omnidirectional design with their vertical lineup that is the basis of Sentry's current sirens. These sirens throw a cloverleaf pattern so ironically it probably gets better coverage this way. Lol
Coverage pattern on a non-rotational one isn't at all bad compared to vertical sirens, considering intakes projection and all that.
The main issue with the M is its volume...it sucks
This probably spins faster than Pottsville's Mobil Directo.
Dear god its horrifying.
As far as I can tell it’s slower
@@BRISTOLFORCE2009 i forgot about this comment lmfao
im glad i live in north carolina
F in the chat for people who thought intake sound wasn't real 💀

This is unbelievably amazing!
Loudest I’ve laughed in a while. This is spectacular.
Holy fuck. I have no words.
Sterling should have built a rotating Model M.
I was waiting for this to get recording and IT FINALLY DID YAY!
Holy shit that's crazy! Awesome video dude!!
A spinning Sterling siren? That's not what I expected
The sound being directed out of the intake is just astonishing! Great job dude!
you should hear one in person. Mine has very strong intake tones.
In fact, the main tone of a siren comes mostly from the intake, rasp and undertones come out of the ports.
@@Sipex6484 I've heard 2 in person, one up close and one from a distance
boombastic side eye siren💀
Oh my god it actually directs the sound too
This is just amazing
0:48 Signal: Alert / All Clear!
Awesome video!!! Never thought id see one of these.
Ooh, a spinning Sterling I see!
This is incredible!!!!
Sterlings attempt at 500DHTT
Legendary
Oh my god I love this
This is an amazing Sterling video. Does this siren go off for the FD meetings every Monday at 6:30 PM or last Monday of the month?
Every other Monday at 6:30 apparently
Just Freaking Epic lol
Good siren
Looks epic.
Wow! Very rare to have a rotating Model M. Not many around!
0:48 siren starts
Daniel (HOR Super Sirex) vs. the cooler Daniel (this)
the ultimate sterling
my sterling M:
Would definitely love anambience recording
amazing.
I wonder if the choppers act like gyroscopes and put weird forces on the rotator. With it spinning that fast I can't imagine they don't have some sort of effect on it
This is quite the siren. Thought it would rotate slower similar to an H.O.R. Regardless, this is a really good video!
If a Sterling M-10 and a Federal Sign & Signal 500-DHTT had a baby.
If a Sterling Model M* and a 500 DHTT had a baby 😉👍
i like it
YES!!!!!
Super Sirex's Bro.
The sky is very very cursed
Honestly kinda cursed lmao but amazing capture!
super sirex but you replaced the r in 'sirex' with the letter p
Cool
I have to ask. If you remember, at what point was it the loudest? I’ve never really known whether to believe its loudest facing an intake or facing the outputs of both choppers. As someone else said, I know these output a sort of cloverleaf coverage, I just don’t know which half would project further.
I believe it's about 50/50 each way
@@Sipex6484 thats kind of what I would imagine, but I feel like one must be a little louder.
legendary
I Wish it was codded so it can do hi/lo pluse
With modified/custom intakes and 3T22 solenoids, it's possible!
S P E E N
since this thing is rotational, I'd assume that the motor wires were routed into the turntable and that the steel stand has collector rings inside it otherwise there has to be some way they made it so the siren gets power.
More than likely
i could agree no less about the possibility of the stand having hidden collector rings, like i mean i believe they geared the turntable in some way to a motor inside the building which would also in turn have a set of collector rings above the gear train.
@the_real_drwhoroblox1935 I would imagine that the slip rings, rotation motors and gears/belts are all jammed into the huge box below the siren. Wiring would run through the red stand the M is resting on
@@Sipex6484 likely.
HOW DOES THIS MAN
Also is this 16/8 because the high pitched wind down and when the stator points towards the camera it sounds 8 port but the other side sound like M5 - S
S stands for single head
There's no such thing as a Sterling M5 or M5-S
Thanks
Seriously I have such high hopes for 2023 now
Also someone is planning to restore a Cosgrave siren, 2023 is already good!
You think i'm gonna believe that shit 💀
@@wigwagstudios2474 i know the guy who has it
Oh shit fr?
Ye
Spinny machine
rotating sterling
Have you planned to go to East Bend, NC to film their Allertor?
Will not be able to this time around unfortunately.
@@SirensOfNCState I believe the next test will be during the statewide drill. It’s not sounded often.
@@SirensOfNCState To my knowledge yes. Yadkin County Emergency Management is your best bet to contact
@@SirensOfNCState There is a finback Whelen off of US 601 in yadkinville behind the fire station. Unsure of test dates. Been out of the loop a while
@PineTree Sirens tornado drill
he spin
Why is it night when the tornado siren goes off
They set it off in the evening whenever the firefighters hold their meetings. They do it once every two weeks.
When the super sirex rotates
Some of them do
I feel like having a stroke looking at this
strokes arnt funny
GOOFY AHHH STERLING
1:25 siren ends
That's gotta be custom. Really cool add though
Epic
This is terrifying
Why at night?
Wait…are these sirens SUPPOSED TO rotate or is this one custom made?
Custom job. These sirens already project sound pretty evenly in four directions.
WTF....wow nice
lmao this is pretty great
Super sirex 15
🗿 my Is lismiy bek to find Trumpe siren M-10
Was the rotator built by Sterling or by a local shop?
Likely bought or built custom, Sterling never supplied things like this
This is hilarious
wow that’s ummmm different
Sterling-SHTT
wooah
Wonder why this hasn’t been done sooner
It's a pointless modification
@@Sipex6484says who?
Who knows? Now I want to see a Sterling M single head on a rotator! Or a Type B!
Sirens at 3am be like
HOLY
why is this siren spinning?
Is it loose on its mount or did they put a rotator on it?
They put a rotator on it
@@Sipex6484 cool! It’s pretty cool sounding tho.
I’m still struggling to understand how it rotates
there's a huge rotator mechanism under the siren that spins it.
Business sign rotator most likely, and the power gets to the siren the same way the lights for the sign would (slip rings).
Clockwise is the direction on its rotation!
0:48 discount super sirex
Interesting...
YOOOOOOOO
0:47
The siren think he is sirex
Sentry Dual defender
😐
HAHAHA BRUH
It's so fast holy shit 😂😂
This is so cursed
This is awesome, hilarious, and ugly all at the same time.
No way this is real
I regret to inform you...
It is
Most blursed siren in america..😅
W
Is this real
Mhm. It's behind the Biscoe Fire Department, you can even see it spinning on streetview if you change the years.
