The 300VSC can control signal lines to Federal Signal Models 300GC, 300GCX, 300X, 302GC, 302GCX,
302X, and 50GC speaker/amplifiers and to other devices designed to operate with a SelecTone system. It

an optional Model MSB-1 or MNC-1 microphone. The unit can also be used to play background music
generated from an external source over the SelecTone system.
