Please be aware that opting for Sound File Programming in your order might result in a shipment delay of 1 to 2 business days. Visit this link to preview ESU Sounds LokSound 5 Micro Sound and DCC Control Decoder - Next18 Plug Version Comes with 11mm x 15mm Sugar Cube Speaker The LokSound 5 micro is a “little wonder”: With only 21mmx10mm footprint, it is by far one of the smallest LokSound decoders we’ve ever built. Thus it should fit into all N gauge and TT vehicles, but is also suitable for small H0 vehicles. All LokSound decoders are equipped with a Next18 interface and are available with adapter plugs to suit all popular digital interface types. The decoder is supplied with an 11mm x 15mm sugar cube speaker as well as a sound enclosure set. The LokSound 5 micro DCC is made for the North American and Australian markets. It is a pure DCC Decoder, which supports RailComPlus and can also be used on DC layouts. Please note the LokSound 5 DCC decoder does not come with a speaker. Operating modes The LokSound 5 micro is a true multi protocol decoder. It supports DCC as well as Motorola®, Selectrix® and M4. Of course it supports 14 through to 128 speed steps as well as 2 and 4 digit addresses in DCC format and up to 32 functions. Thanks to RailComPlus® the decoders register themselves fully automatically on suitable command stations. This decoder supports all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom® you may read out the CV values on the main, provided you have a command station supporting RailCom®. There are utility registers for command stations that only facilitate programming of CVs ranging from 1 to 255. Motorola® users benefit from up to 28 speed steps for 255 addresses. Three additional Motorola® addresses facilitate triggering of 16 functions. An integral programming mode even allows programming with the good old Control Unit 6021. The M4 protocol supports the automatic registration on mfx® compatible central units. The LokSound  decoder supports the Märklin® braking sections just as well as the ZIMO® HLU braking commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake generators or with DC is also possible. Furthermore the locomotive with a LokSound will come to a halt when a Selectrix® braking diode is switched into the circuit. The ABC push-pull feature enables the automatic commuting between two stations. The LokSound 5 micro decoder is also suitable for analogue DC and AC (!) layouts. Sound The LokSound 5 micro decoder can reproduce up to 10 channels simultaneously. Each channel offers up to 16 Bit / 31250 kHz and thus we have finally achieved hi-fi sound quality on your layout. For all practical purposes one cannot detect any difference to the original. A double class D audio power amplifier with up to 3W output power feeds the speakers with a permitted impedance of 4 – 32 Ohms. The huge 128 MBit sound memory assures sufficient storage capacity. The volume of all individual sound fragments may be adjusted separately. The outstandingly flexible sound engine without a rigid flow chart facilitates a prototypical simulation of all conceivable rail vehicles. Three separately adjustable braking functions and two alternative load scenarios provide you with maximum control of your vehicles.

The outstandingly flexible sound engine without a rigid flow chart facilitates a prototypical simulation of all conceivable rail vehicles. Three separately adjustable braking functions and two alternative load scenarios provide you with maximum control of your vehicles. Functions Despite its small dimensions the LokSound 5 micro decoder has at least 6 amplified function outputs as well as one logic output. There are two more logic outputs on the Next18 interface, which alternately may be employed to control RC servos. Of course, all important lighting functions are supported. The brightness of each output may be adjusted separately. The decoder supports the automatic push and pull movements – known as the coupler waltz - required for reliable operation of digital couplers such as the ones by ROCO® and Krois® as well as Telex® couplers. Motor control Motor control of the LokSound 5 micro has been further improved. A variable PWM pulse frequency ranging from 10 kHz to 50 kHz assures perfect silent operation, particularly for coreless motors. Thus the typical hum is a thing of the past. Load control can now be adjusted with up to 10 separate CVs and thus will manage even the most difficult cases. The unique “Auto Tune” function facilitates the automatic calibration of the decoder to perfectly match the motor. The LokSound 5 micro decoder supplies sufficient motor current (up to 0.75 A) for the intended applications.

The Digitrax DS44 is a basic quad stationary decoder that puts four slow-motion turnout machines, such as the Circuitron Tortoise, under DCC control. Throw your turnouts from any throttle on the layout. It takes its power and commands straight from the track, so hookup is two wires to the rails plus the turnout machine leads. Important: the DS44 is for slow-motion (stall-motor) turnout machines only. It will not work with solenoid or twin-coil switch machines such as Atlas, Peco or Kato snap machines. Specifications Brand Digitrax Item Number DS44 Type Basic quad stationary decoder Outputs 4 (A, B, C, D), one slow-motion turnout machine each Turnout Machine Types Slow motion only Power From the track (red and black wires) Addressing Set individually or in groups of 4 (factory default 1 to 4) Scale All scales Includes 1 DS44 stationary decoder, 1 instruction card Made In USA Warranty Digitrax one-year No Worries Warranty UPC 652667080033 Features Controls 4 individual slow-motion turnout machines from your DCC throttle Quick setup: send one switch command and the DS44 takes a sequential group of 4 addresses (for example 5, 6, 7, 8) Individual setup: give each output any switch address you like (for example 6, 13, 25 and 105) Track powered, so no separate accessory power supply is needed Works with Digitrax and other NMRA-compatible DCC systems Compact, shrink-wrapped board that tucks under the benchwork Frequently Asked Questions Will the DS44 run Atlas, Peco or Kato snap switch machines?No. It only drives slow-motion stall-motor machines like the Tortoise. Solenoid (twin-coil) machines need a different stationary decoder. How do I set the addresses?With track power off, connect the red and black wires to the track. Temporarily connect the white setup wire to the same rail as the black wire to set a sequential group of 4, or to the same rail as the red wire to set each output individually. Turn power on, operate the switch address (or the 4 addresses, in order A to D) from your throttle, then disconnect the white wire and fold it away. Does it need its own power supply?No. The DS44 is powered from the track through its red and black wires. What scale is it for?Any scale. It controls the turnout machines, not the track, so it works for N, HO, O and larger. Explore More Browse more DCC Decoders and Electronics & Wiring at Squeaky's Trains & Things.

The Digitrax DO487 is the heavy hauler of the mobile decoder range: four amps continuous and five amps peak, wired rather than plugged, for the large-scale and O scale locomotives that will cook an ordinary HO decoder. Eight FX3 function outputs at 300mA give you the lighting capacity to match, and because it is a wired decoder it goes into anything you can solder to. Building a DCC fleet? Browse our DCC Decoders, DCC Speakers, and DCC Accessories. Features 4.0 amps continuous, 5.0 amps peak - built for large-scale and O scale mechanisms, dual-motor drives and older high-draw motors. 8 FX3 function outputs at 300mA for headlights, marker lights, cab lighting, smoke units and other accessories. Wired installation - no socket required, so it suits scratch installs, brass models and repowered older locomotives. Suits HO, S, O and G scale where the current draw justifies it. Standard NMRA DCC - runs and programs on any DCC system, not just Digitrax. More Information Brand Digitrax Item Number DO487 Product Type DCC Mobile Decoder (High Capacity) Scale HO, S, O, G Motor Current 4.0 A continuous / 5.0 A peak Function Outputs 8 x FX3, 300 mA Connection Wired - no plug fitted Sound No - motor and function decoder only Condition New FAQ Do I actually need a 4 amp decoder?Only if the locomotive draws it. Measure stall current on DC before deciding - a typical single-motor HO diesel pulls well under an amp and is fine on a 1 amp decoder. Reach for the DO487 when you have a large-scale mechanism, twin motors, or an older open-frame motor. Will it fit in the locomotive?It is a physically larger board than an HO decoder, which is rarely a problem in O or G scale. In HO it is worth measuring the available space in the shell or tender before ordering. Does it have sound?No. The DO487 is a motor and function decoder. Pair it with a separate sound decoder, or choose a high-current sound decoder instead, if you want audio. How do I wire it in?Track pickups to the red and black leads, motor to orange and grey, and function outputs to your lighting. Isolate the motor completely from the frame before you connect anything - a motor still grounded to the chassis is the most common way to destroy a decoder.

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 3 watt or better that fits your shell. Which prime movers do I get?All 9 listed above, selectable in the app or via CV 123. You are not locked to one engine sound — pick whichever matches your prototype. EMD or EMD-2 — which do I want?This is the EMD set: the common 567, 645 and 710 prime movers. The separate EMD-2 set carries a second group of less-common variants with specific cylinder counts. Check your locomotive’s prime mover against the list above before ordering. Will it fit my locomotive?This one measures 69 x 30.5 x 14mm and connects by screw terminal blocks (no soldering). Check the space in your shell against that footprint before ordering — other Blunami versions use different connectors and sizes.

The SoundTraxx 885618 is a BLU-4408 Blunami digital sound decoder with the GE 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 big-scale Blunami: a 4-amp motor rating and screw terminals instead of solder joints, suited to S, O and Large Scale. Features 8 GE prime movers: GE FDL-12, GE FDL-16, GE 7FDL-16, GE Dual FDL-16, GE GEVO G12, GE 44-Ton Center Cab Dual Caterpillar, GE Cummins Switcher, GEVO G12 Tier 4 Over 40 air horns and 13 bells, plus air compressors, couplers and 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 Three braking types: independent, train and dynamic braking 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 885618 Model: BLU-4408 Blunami Sound Set: GE Diesel Scale: S, O and Large Scale Decoder Size: 69 x 30.5 x 14mm Connection: Screw terminal blocks (no soldering) Max.
