By just adjusting a single CV value. The decoder that enables / disables certain functions: for example in a consist, the horn and bell is active on the first engine only, whereas the prime mover sound is on for all engines.

"Digital command control with original sound"


This motto best describes the LokSound-decoder family. All LokSound decoders combine a high quality digital decoder and a digital sound module. You can drive your locomotives digitally and at the same time replay the original sound of your locomotive as well as special sound effects such as horn or whistle. The combination of the digital multiple train mechanism with the original sound offers a range of possibilities which convince everybody. The sound is adjusted to the particular driving 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. You won’t have any problems with space within the model as one circuit board combines decoder and sound module.
 

It offers all features and functions, which you could expect in a decoder today, and many more.
All LokSound decoders
 

• are suitable for DC and AC operation regardless of the motor type (even core less motors)
• provide smooth and noiseless motor control due to it’s HF output
• can be used with almost any digital system: Maerklin 6021, Lenz digital plus, Roco digital is cool, LGB MZS, Uhlenbrock IntelliBox, Zimo (DCC), Wangrow System One, NCE, Arnold Digital (DCC)
• recognize the protocol of the digital system automatically
  assure constant speed due to it’s load control on any gradient - up- or down
• support almost all DCC-features such as acceleration, deceleration, maximum speed, minimum speed, and locomotive address
• protect the motor output through overload protection
  operate the headlights (including dimmable output)
• have 1, 2 or 6 additional function outputs e.g. for smoke generators, interior lighting, telex coupling, raising or lowering the pantograph ditch lights
• are easy to operate. Free function mapping allows assigning most outputs to any function key.
• offer a programmable speed curve

Realistic sounds – as in the real world – can easily be reproduced with the sound module, because the original sounds are memorized digitally on a chip. The sound module offers a new and fascinating model world full of sound.

• Two separate channels (e.g. channel 1: steam engine sound + channel 2: whistle) replay the original sounds
• The sound module is available in a large number of pre-recorded generic sounds, e.g. 2- or 3-cylinder steam engine, diesel engine, electric locomotive
• Synchronized chuffs matching the speed of the locomotive vary in pitch, volume and frequency.
• Sound speed can be synchronized with the drivers by means of external sensors or by speed step control.
• The large capacity of the memory chip allows complex sound effects (e.g. typical noise of a stationary steam engine: coal shoveling, water pump, steam release, dynamo - at random) makes your model train more authentic than ever.
• The reproduced sounds is adapted to the particular driving mode. Up to 6 individual sound effects can be triggered with the function keys.
• Any memorized sound fragment can be changed any time.
• The LokProgrammer allows the recording of individual sound fragments and thus allows you to create your on personal sound files and effects.

To suit the variety of models in different gauges LokSound-decoders are available in various sizes.
