The Digitrax SFX007 adds prototype sound to almost anything on your layout. It is a sound only decoder with no motor control, so it works as a second decoder alongside the mobile decoder already in your locomotive, or on its own in rolling stock, inside a structure, or under the layout for stationary sound. Eight factory sound projects ship stacked on the decoder and you pick between them with CV60, so it is ready to run straight out of the package.
An 8 ohm box speaker and a 330uF capacitor are included, and the Digitrax Easy Connect harness needs only two wires to the track. Smart Power Management keeps the decoder from tripping your booster or programmer during setup.

Features
Sound only design pairs with the non sound decoder already in a locomotive, so you keep the motor control you have and add sound on top.
Eight factory stacked sound projects: AC4400CW, ATSF 3751, C-420, GP7, GP38-2, SD40-2, SD70MAC and UP3985. Diesel and steam are both covered.
CV60 selects which of the eight projects is active. No programming track gymnastics and no download needed to switch.
Reloadable with any SoundFX 8 bit or 16 bit project using the Digitrax Sound Programmer and the SoundLoader app.
Compact enough to sit alongside an existing decoder in many locomotives.
Use custom sounds to give rolling stock a voice, or to drive stationary and under layout sound.
Smart Power Management stops the booster and programmer shutdowns that plague high draw sound decoders.
Speaker and capacitor are in the package, so there is nothing else to buy to hear it run.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the SFX007 control the motor?No. It is sound only. Keep the mobile decoder already in the locomotive for motor and lighting control, and let the SFX007 handle sound as a second decoder on the same address.
Can I use it as an add on to a Series 5 decoder like the old SFX006?No. Digitrax states the SFX007 is not compatible as a Series 5 add on the way the SFX006 was. It installs as an independent second decoder instead.
What scale is it for?All scales. The decoder and the included box speaker are sized to fit HO and larger comfortably, and the harness wiring suits O, S and G installs just as well.
Do I need to buy a speaker?No. The 8 ohm 16 x 26 x 9 mm box speaker is included and plugs into the 6 pin connector, along with a 330uF capacitor.
Can I change the sound later?Yes. CV60 switches between the eight projects already on board, and you can overwrite the decoder with any SoundFX project using the Digitrax Sound Programmer and SoundLoader.
Will it work in rolling stock or a building?Yes. Digitrax builds this decoder for exactly that. Load a custom project and use it for a caboose, a stock car, a sawmill, or any under layout sound scene.
