TYFONIC ET is a series of electronic bidirectional and omnidirectional sirens designed by Kockum Sonics in 1984. Ease of assembly, installation, and maintenance were key features of this series of sirens. They were sold alongside the pneumatic TYFON KTG and would be produced until 2002, when both were superseded by TYFONIC Delta which offered superior performance.

TYFONIC Type ET 751
The TYFONIC ET 751 is a bi-directional electronic siren made up of 3, 4, or 6 TYFON speakers made of impact resistant thermoplastic attached to a tall rectangular plastic-covered galvanized sheet steel enclosure; for 3-speaker units, the speakers are all arranged on one side of the enclosure. For 4 and 6-speaker units, an equal number of horns are arranged on both sides of the enclosure. The 4-speaker option was the most popular and very few units with 3 or 6 speakers are known to exist. The enclosure contains the siren's wiring, as well as its speaker compression drivers. A small cylindrical mount is located below the enclosure and allows the siren to be mounted to a pipe. The TYFONIC ET 751 uses 125 W speaker drivers, supporting up to 750 W of power. A variant of the siren named TYFONIC Type ET 751-2 exists with several differences, most notably a lower pitch and a typically red enclosure as opposed to the TYFONIC Type ET 751's which is white/grey. The siren's operating temperature range is -30-+60°C (22°F-+140°F). The TYFONIC ET 751 reaches 110 dB @ 30 m (~100 ft).
