The ASC Clarity siren from 'ASTORS' Award Winning American Signal Corp. (ASC), was designed with the user in mind. It’s lightweight, easy to install, and easy to activate.

American Signal Corporation (ASC), a recognized Winner in the Annual ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program for Three Consecutive Years, has developed an innovative, new electronic siren designed for easy shipping, easy installation and easy use, to ensure individuals and communities are quickly warned of any potential impending threat.

The ASC Clarity is a high powered, fully configurable voice and tone siren that can be customized with a variety of notifications. As its name suggests, the siren provides exceptionally clear directions and alerts to individuals.

Unlike other sirens and because of its compact size — it’s fewer than 23 inches wide and weighs less than 30 pounds — Clarity can be shipped easily using standard shipping methods — instead of by semitrailer — and to be mounted and installed easily, without the need for heavy equipment.

The Clarity siren is ideal for university and college campuses and can be integrated with other technology, like the ASC Aware desktop notification system and the ASC Sentinel mobile device alerts.

When fully integrated, the system has the ability to reach students, staff and faculty, alerting them quickly and saving lives.

“The new Clarity siren is just another way ASC continues to provide innovative technology and solutions to help keep individuals safe worldwide,” said Richard Roe, ASC executive vice president.

“And while the Clarity siren has a wide-range of applications, it’s an extremely powerful tool on college and corporate campuses.”

The integrated system, which includes the Clarity siren, ASC Aware and ASC Sentinel technologies, will reach students, staff and faculty through a variety of mediums, quickly alerting them of any threat, from weather-related events to active shooters.

And because the Clarity siren can be integrated with ASC’s award-winning CompuLert™ NEXGen control platform, emergency managers can activate and monitor the siren remotely.
