VFDs are definitely the way to go, that's what most enthusiasts used. When we did SirenCon over at Camp Tesumas in Wisconsin, we had a giant generator that we had to use to run the bigger sirens, especially the Cyclone 125 which has a 50 horsepower motor. It nearly killed the generator!

jesus I saw people in the 2023 vid w/o hearing protection - like... neat event, but do you have minimal hearing protection at all?

you can't control idiots but.. perhaps.. you could make them stand at a safe distance?

not personal criticism just damn... got my hearing loss in the army, it's not fun.

Some of them seem to think they're immune to hearing damage, which bewilders me. Smart enthusiasts have proper hearing protection.
