Description
The LokSound 5 Micro DCC Direct is the latest N scale drop-in offering from ESU, bolstering their large collection of infamous LokSound 5 decoders. This particular drop-in decoder has been designed to suit N scale Atlas and Intermountain locomotives, and can also be fit to similar locomotives of other manufacturers (please note this is a rough guide only). LokSound 5 decoders boast a huge 128Mbit of sound memory, with a class D audio amplifier outputting 3W, 16 Bit, 31.25kHz Hi-Fi quality sound. Speakers with an impedance between 4-32 Ohms may be used.
The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct has 10 directly soldered LEDs. Two of them are intended for front and rear head lighting, two more are connected to the aux3 and AUX4 outputs to switch e.g. number boards. A further 6 LEDs on the bottom are intended for ditch lights, but can also be used for other lighting purposes on request. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be set separately.
Please note that this sound decoder does not come supplied with a speaker.
This decoder can be loaded with any ESU sound project of your choosing for a small extra cost, select the appropriate drop down menu option for this option. Click this link to access the ESU sound file database. A wide range of sound files from North America/Australia and Europe are available.
Alternatively you can purchase an ESU LokProgrammer to load your own sound files and make adjustments to your decoder, however please note that CV changes can still be done with all good DCC systems. Contact us if you are interested in purchasing a LokProgrammer.
