The WOW121 is a universal sound decoder for locomotives with DCC-ready 21-pin MTC connectors, and can also be used with any of TCS’ motherboards. The WOW121 requires a motherboard to interface with the locomotive. The motherboard will determine the support for the number of lighting functions as well as the type supported (LED or 12V/1.5V bulbs). A WOW121 decoder will support up to 8 lighting functions. Note: Function 5 and 6 are not programmable, and will only output constant bright lights. Take this into account when wiring multiple lighting functions. CD-Quality Sound: TCS’ world-renowned CD-quality sound. 16 Bits of resolution at 44.1kHz sample rate. Back EMF Load Compensation: Provides superior slow speed control and high performance under load. Quiet Drive: Super-quiet motor control for “buzz” free motor performance. DC Mode: Decoder will automatically detect DC power. You can also configure how your lighting effects function on DC. Variable Momentum: Allows you to make custom acceleration and deceleration curves. Function Remapping: Buttons 0 through 12 may be used to control the lighting functions of this decoder. Programmable Lighting Effects: Choose from 20 separate user-programmable lighting effects! Dimmable Brightness: Configure multiple different brightness levels for your LED’s or incandescent bulbs. Decoder Lock: Feature which prevents accidental/unwanted programming while activated. Airwire™ Compatible: Fully compatible with Airwire™ operation. CAM: Use a positive voltage trigger to synchronize your chuff rate to your drivers’ rotation. Audio Assist®: TCS exclusive auditory feedback programming system. Program your decoder without the need to memorize CV’s! User-Loadable Speed Tables: Configure custom speed curves and set speed limits. Throttle Modes: Choose from multiple throttle modes to meet your operating needs. True Scale Sound: A unique WOWSound feature which uses TCS’ exclusive auto-adjusting BEMF technology to automatically change the intensity of the chuff. Prototype Mode also offers dynamic sound volumes which accurately model the real-life equivalent. Also includes pre-programmed acceleration and deceleration values. Specs Interface Type: Direct-Plug (21-Pin MTC) Dimensions (L x W x H): 1.28” x .69” x .22” or 32.5mm x 17.5mm x 5.6mm Scale: HO Scale Continuous/Peak: 1.3/2.0 Amp Total Functions: 8 Function Rating: 100 mA 12V Outputs: 8 Speaker Selection This decoder is optimized for 8 Ω speakers (not included). This decoder uses and audio amplifier capable of supplying up to 2 Watts of power. A 1 Watt minimum power rating is recommended for use with this decoder. If you are using a speaker with less than 1 Watt power rating, you must reduce your volume to prevent speaker failure or amplifier stress. Speaker enclosures greatly increase speaker performance in most cases.
