The HPSS32 (for High Power Speaker Station 3200W) is an electronic siren produced by Acoustic Technology, Incorporated. It consists of four arrays with two speakers per array, each facing 90º away from each other. The speakers consist of four (4) 100W drivers per speaker, totaling to a total of 400W per speaker, and 800W per array, with a total combined wattage of 3200W combined, contrary of the ASC E-Class, which uses 400W drivers manufactured by Atlas using the same Kingstar arrays. The HPSS-32 utilizes type TH300 speaker arrays manufactured by Kingstar, Inc., a China-based speaker manufacturer.
Notable users of the HPSS-32 include Entergy's Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC), which has a system of approximately 167 ATI's.
Rotating Types
Alongside the HPSS32, there is a rotating version, called the HPSS32R. The only known HPSS32Rs are in Menominee, MI, however they use the 16 watt controller more commonly found on the HPSS-16 series, most likely meaning that each speaker is 400 watts. There are 3 HPSS32Rs in Menominee next to inactive, early model, ACA Alertronics.
