The SS741MG Remote Siren Amplifier is a premium 200W unit designed for dual 100W 
speaker use.  It comes standard with a remote control head and a noise-cancelling 
microphone  for  PA  use.    The  amplifier  box  contains  two  separate  amplifiers  that 
allow  the  user  to  operate  two  separate  and  distinct  tones  at  the  same  time.    This 
dual  tone  (Magnum)  feature  creates  a  unique  sound  that  is  one  of  the  most 
attention  getting  amplifiers  on  the  market  today.    The  Magnum  sound  allows  a 
single  vehicle  to  sound  like  several  vehicles  traveling  at  the  same  time.    Each 
amplifier operates one 100W RMS speaker and has its own fuse. 
The primary operating modes are Phaser, Yelp, Wail, Hands Free, Manual, Alert, and 
Radio.    A  Noise  Cancelling  PA  Override  and  push-button  Horn  Override  are 
available in all modes.  A manual push-button is provided for push-on/push-off tone 
toggle  operation  in  the  Phaser,  Yelp,  and  Wail  modes.    It  also  allows  manual  siren 
control  in  the  Manual,  Alert  or  Hands  Free  modes.    The  Phaser  function  can  be 
optionally replaced by Two-Tone, or disabled entirely, with program jumpers.
