Other notes: For the first Monday last month, we decided to go to this Equinox in Ottawa since we were curious to know how it would compare to the other two Equinoxes we've heard. This one was definitely up there with the one in New Carlisle as far as loudness goes, with our meters topping at 110.7 dBA and 117.3 dBC while we were standing close to the street. From my setup location, my meter read 101.5 dBA when the projector beamed my direction, and I believe somewhere around 107 from roughly 200 feet away. The county was 10 minutes late with testing once again, as I had to call sheriff. Towards the end of the wind-down, my PowerShot reached the 4GB video size limit, so it stopped recording, so I just switched it to the CyberShot footage for the remainder of the video and used it for the zoom out and 360° pan. There is a Model 2 standing right next to this Equinox on a shorter pole, which I imagine was replaced by the Equinox when it was installed. Enjoy!

Awesome video. I photographed this back in late 2022. It would be nice to hear this unit in person when I get the chance to head up there for their tornado siren test.
