DCC Decoders

The SoundTraxx 885022 is a TSU-2200 Tsunami2 2-amp DCC sound decoder carrying the EMD-2 diesel sound set. EMD-2 is SoundTraxx's second collection of EMD prime movers, covering the 567, 645 and 710 variants that the standard EMD profile leaves out. If you model a GP9, SD9, GP39, SD45, GP60, SD70MAC or any of the other locomotives listed below, this is the sound set built for it. Tsunami2 combines a full sound system, Hyperdrive2 motor control, Hyperlight lighting effects and a DCC decoder on one board. A 32-bit processor drives 28 functions and 16 polyphonic sound channels, so the prime mover, horn, bell and brake squeal all play at once without cutting each other off. Dynamic Digital Exhaust reads the load on the motor and notches engine RPM up and down on its own, so pulling a heavy train upgrade actually sounds like work. This is a universal, hardwire-style decoder measuring 35 x 18 x 6mm, sized for a wide range of HO and S scale diesels. Which Locomotives Does the EMD-2 Sound Set Cover? The 885022 carries eight selectable EMD prime movers. Pick the one that matches your locomotive with a single CV change.

Motor Stall Current: 2A Max. Function Current: 100mA (each output) Function Outputs: 6 Audio Amplifier: 2 Watt, 8-Ohm Load DCC Track Voltage: 7.5V to 22V Sound Channels: 16 polyphonic Processor: 32-bit, 28 functions Brand: SoundTraxx Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between the EMD and EMD-2 sound sets?Both cover EMD diesels. The original EMD profile carries the most common prime movers, such as the 567 non-turbo in F-units and early Geeps and the 645 turbo in the SD40-2 and SD45. EMD-2 carries a second group of engines, including the 567C in the GP9 and SD9, the 645E 20-cylinder in the SD45 family and the 710G 16-cylinder in the SD60 and SD70 series. Check the coverage table above for your locomotive. If it is not listed there, the 885005 EMD profile is the one you want. Will this fit my locomotive?The TSU-2200 is a universal hardwire decoder measuring 35 x 18 x 6mm, intended for HO and S scale diesels. It is not a drop-in board replacement. You wire it to the motor, pickups, lights and speaker. If your locomotive has a decoder plug, look at the TSU-PNP8 or TSU-21PNEM8 versions of the same sound set instead. Is a speaker included?No. The onboard amplifier is rated 2 watts into an 8-ohm load, so choose any 8-ohm speaker that fits your shell from our DCC speakers range. What does the 2-amp rating mean?It is the maximum motor stall current the decoder can handle. Two amps covers virtually every HO diesel, including twin-motor units. Smaller single-motor installs can also use the 1-amp TSU-1100 version. Do I need a CurrentKeeper?It is optional and well worth it. The 810140 CurrentKeeper is a capacitor pack that carries the decoder across dirty track, frogs and turnouts so the sound does not reset. This decoder has the quick-plug connector for it built in. Does it work on a DC layout?Yes. Tsunami2 runs on analog DC out of the box, though sound and lighting features are limited compared with DCC operation. Full function control needs a DCC system. How do I select a different prime mover?Each engine in the coverage table is chosen with a single CV setting, documented in the Tsunami2 diesel user guide included with the decoder. You can change it as often as you like, so one decoder can be re-tasked if you sell or re-motor the locomotive.

You will also need a speaker, so browse our DCC speakers, and most installs go easier with parts from DCC wiring. Add a SoundTraxx 810140 CurrentKeeper to keep sound alive over dirty track and turnouts.

The SoundTraxx 884607 is a BLU-2200 Blunami digital sound decoder with the Steam-2 sound set. Blunami is a Tsunami2 with a Bluetooth radio added, so it runs three ways: as a normal DCC decoder on any NMRA-compliant system, on plain DC, or in wireless mode straight from your phone or tablet. Wireless mode needs no command station and no programming track — an old DC power pack and the free Blunami app are enough, and CVs can be read and changed over Bluetooth while the locomotive is running. The app is free for iOS and Android. This version is the universal-style Blunami that fits most HO diesels, suited to HO and small S scale. Features 90 selectable whistles — the Steam-2 library carries 27 more than the standard Steam set, most of them roadname-specific — plus 12 bells, 10 airpumps and 8 dynamos Bluetooth control from the free Blunami app (iOS and Android) — over 300 settings without editing a single CV by hand Dynamic Digital Exhaust (DDE) automatically matches exhaust volume and RPM to the load on the motor, and the app calibrates it for you Independent and train brakes with adjustable rates Hyperdrive2 motor control for smooth, creep-speed switching Over 20 Hyperlight lighting effects across 6 function outputs 16 polyphonic sound channels on a 32-bit processor, with a 7-band equalizer and adjustable reverb CurrentKeeper ready — works with the SoundTraxx 810140 CurrentKeeper More Information Item Number: SoundTraxx 884607 Model: BLU-2200 Blunami Sound Set: Steam-2 Steam Scale: HO and small S scale Decoder Size: 35 x 18 x 6mm Connection: NMRA 9-pin JST harness to hardwire Max.

FAQ Do I need a DCC system to use this?No. That is the point of Blunami. It runs on a plain DC power pack with no command station at all — you control it from the free Blunami app over Bluetooth. It is also a fully NMRA-compliant DCC decoder if you already run DCC. Does the app work on Android?Yes. The free Blunami app is published for both iOS and Android. (Some older listings and dealer pages still say iOS only — that is out of date.) Is a speaker included?No. Pair it with an 8-ohm speaker rated 2 watt or better that fits your shell. How is Steam-2 different from the standard Steam set?The chuffs, bells, airpumps and dynamos are the same. The difference is the whistle library: Steam-2 offers 90 whistles versus 63 on the standard set, with many roadname-specific additions. Will it fit my locomotive?This one measures 35 x 18 x 6mm and connects by nmra 9-pin jst harness to hardwire. Check the space in your shell against that footprint before ordering — other Blunami versions use different connectors and sizes.

The SoundTraxx 884608 is a BLU-21PNEM8 Blunami digital sound decoder with the Steam-2 sound set. Blunami is a Tsunami2 with a Bluetooth radio added, so it runs three ways: as a normal DCC decoder on any NMRA-compliant system, on plain DC, or in wireless mode straight from your phone or tablet. Wireless mode needs no command station and no programming track — an old DC power pack and the free Blunami app are enough, and CVs can be read and changed over Bluetooth while the locomotive is running. The app is free for iOS and Android. This version is the 21-pin MTC plug-in Blunami, suited to HO scale and larger. Features 90 selectable whistles — the Steam-2 library carries 27 more than the standard Steam set, most of them roadname-specific — plus 12 bells, 10 airpumps and 8 dynamos Bluetooth control from the free Blunami app (iOS and Android) — over 300 settings without editing a single CV by hand Dynamic Digital Exhaust (DDE) automatically matches exhaust volume and RPM to the load on the motor, and the app calibrates it for you Independent and train brakes with adjustable rates Hyperdrive2 motor control for smooth, creep-speed switching Over 20 Hyperlight lighting effects across 8 function outputs 16 polyphonic sound channels on a 32-bit processor, with a 7-band equalizer and adjustable reverb CurrentKeeper ready — works with the SoundTraxx 810140 CurrentKeeper More Information Item Number: SoundTraxx 884608 Model: BLU-21PNEM8 Blunami Sound Set: Steam-2 Steam Scale: HO scale and larger Decoder Size: 30.5 x 15.5 x 6.5mm Connection: NEM660 21MTC integral connector Max.

A speaker is not included — browse DCC speakers rated 2 watt or better, and find install parts in DCC wiring. Add a SoundTraxx 810140 CurrentKeeper to keep sound alive over dirty track and turnouts. FAQ Do I need a DCC system to use this?No. That is the point of Blunami. It runs on a plain DC power pack with no command station at all — you control it from the free Blunami app over Bluetooth. It is also a fully NMRA-compliant DCC decoder if you already run DCC. Does the app work on Android?Yes. The free Blunami app is published for both iOS and Android. (Some older listings and dealer pages still say iOS only — that is out of date.) Is a speaker included?No. Pair it with an 8-ohm speaker rated 2 watt or better that fits your shell. How is Steam-2 different from the standard Steam set?The chuffs, bells, airpumps and dynamos are the same. The difference is the whistle library: Steam-2 offers 90 whistles versus 63 on the standard set, with many roadname-specific additions. Will it fit my locomotive?This one measures 30.5 x 15.5 x 6.5mm and connects by nem660 21mtc integral connector. Check the space in your shell against that footprint before ordering — other Blunami versions use different connectors and sizes.
