The siren that we give in figure 1 is for circuits operating with 6 tp 12V voltages and drives a loudspeaker with good power.

P1 adjusts the cadence of the sound, while P2 adjusts its pitch. The PTP42 power transistor must be mounted on a heat radiator while the speaker must be of good quality for greater sound yield.

It should preferably be mounted in a small acoustic box.
