"Digital command control with original sound"

Common Features

All LokSound decoders combine a high quality digital decoder and a digital sound module on one circuit board. You can operate your locomotives digitally and at the same time replay the original sound as well as special sound effects such as horn or whistle. The sound is adjusted to the particular running mode at any point in time: when the loco starts moving, you hear the appropriate sounds (diesel engine revving up, steam chuffs with increasing frequency) and when it stops, you hear the engine slow down and also braking sounds.

LokSound decoders set the trend in terms of technology and sound quality. Besides the features you would expect from a state-of-the-art decoder, they offer many more:

• Autodetection of digital or analog operation
• Suitable for any NMRA compatable Digital Command Control (DCC) system
• Suitable for AC-, DC- and coreless motors
• Super silent running due to pulse frequency of 32 KHz
• Perfect load compensation for optimal running especially on uphill or downhill gradients; exceptional slow running characteristics
• Load control can be adapted to any motor by means of 3 CVs
• Dynamic Drive Control (DDC) - Back EMF active at low speeds for smooth slow running operation with reduced influence at high speeds
• Back EMF also active in conventional AC or DC mode - User has full control of motor and acceleration
• Acceleration and deceleration can be switched with function button
• Shunting mode (half speed) can be activated with function button
• Up to 4 auxiliary function outputs suitable for smoke units, interior lighting, automatic couplers, for raising and lowering pantographs, ditch lights or lighting the fire box
• Individually adjustable brightness of lighting
• Special lighting effects such as blinking, fire box, Mars light, Gyra light etc. can be set for each function individually
• New, revolutionary function mapping. All functions can be allocated to any of up to 20 function buttons. Multiple allocations are possible allowing for the combination of sound and functions e.g. the sound of shoveling coal and light flickering in the firebox
• Integrated Function Keys F13-F20 - latest NMRA DCC standards
• Short circuit protection for motor and function outputs
  

• The 4-Channel feature allows you to add 3 sound effects simultaneously to the running sound, your engine will sound even more realistic.
• Really hear your engine work - exhaust chuffs synchronized to the wheel and to the load - lower motor revolutions for diesel engines once the set speed has been reached - separate running sound and ventilator sounds for electric locomotives.
• Load Dependent Sound - may be turned off
• The sound speed is synchronized with the speed steps or with an external sensor. This is suitable for use with mechanical sensors, reed switches or Hall sensors.
• Your model railway becomes more authentic than ever with the large 8 MBit memory allowing for complex sound effects, such as the typical noise of a stationary steam engine, station announcements, the whistle of the guard and many more. You can activate up to 15 different sounds with the function buttons.
• Adjustable sound volume - Control the volume for the prime mover, horn or whistle and bell individually; accomplished by the use a function key on the command station cab or by adjusting the CVs.
• With the Helper Function the user can select whether the engine runs standalone, head-of-consist, mid-of-consist, or end-of-consist. Certain functions can be enabled/disabled, for instance the horn and bell is active on the first engine only, whereas the prime mover sound is on for all engines.
• Consist mode CVs - Influence the behavior of the function keys with the added CVs 21 and 22.
• Analog Sound - Even on conventional DC layouts you will hear all prime mover sounds synchronized to the operation condition.
