The Banshee 115 was a siren that was produced until 1994. This is an improved version of the Banshee 110, with a 15 HP motor. Although many design aspects have changed, the Banshee 115 carried the same port ratios of the Banshee 110. (8, and 9/12 Port) When Alerting Communicators of America went bankrupt, becoming American Signal Corporation, the Banshee 115 was renamed the OM-117. Unlike the Banshee 115, the OM-117 only came in an 8 Port ratio single tone siren.
