ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
ESU LokSound 5 Micro DCC Direct Sound Decoder, Part #58721, *BLANK* version, for N Scale Atlas and Intermountain locomotives.
The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct has been specially developed for installation in Spur N vehicles of the Atlas and Intermountain brands: it can be inserted directly instead of the analog board installed there as standard. However, the decoder can also be used for similar models from other manufacturers at your own discretion.
Key Details:
- The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct, with dimensions of 66.0mm x 8.2mm, is a pure DCC decoder and comes without a loudspeaker.
- NOTE: ESU LokSound decoders are shipped with a factory test file only and will require a sound file to be loaded.
- An ESU Lokprogrammer, Part #53452, is required to load sound files to this decoder.
Modes:
- The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct is a "pure-bred" DCC decoder. 14 to 128 driving steps are as self-evident as 2- and 4-digit addresses. Up to 32 functions can be triggered. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders log in fully automatically to a suitable digital center.
- It masters all DCC programming modes, and thanks to RailCom® the CV values can be read out on the main track with suitable control panels. Auxiliary registers exist for control panels that can only program the CVs from 1-255.
- The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct detects Märklin® brake distances as well as ZIMO® HLU / ZACK commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake blocks or DC voltage is also possible. It also stops with a Selectrix® brake diode. An automatic ABC commuter train mode allows automatic commuting between two stations. The decoder can be used on analog DC layouts, switching "on-the-fly" fully automatically between operating modes -- most of the time, nothing needs to be adjusted.
Sound:
- The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct can play up to 12 channels simultaneously. Each channel can be resolved with up to 16 bits / 31250 kHz and offers hi-fi quality on your system, with virtually no difference from the original. A Class-D audio output stage with up to 3W output power controls speakers between 4 and 32 ohms impedance. A 128 Mbit sound memory provides ample capacity, and all individual sounds can be adjusted individually in volume. The flexible sound engine allows accurate simulation of a wide range of rail sounds.
Functions:
- The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct has 10 directly soldered LEDs. Two are intended for front and rear head lighting, two more are connected to the AUX3 and AUX4 outputs to switch e.g. number boards, and 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, and the brightness of each output can be set separately.
Motor:
- The motor control of the LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct has a variable PWM clock frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz, ensuring super-quiet operation, especially for bell-anchor motors. Load control can be adapted to difficult cases with up to 10 CVs, and the "Autotune" function allows the decoder to automatically measure itself against the motor. The decoder delivers up to 0.9A motor power.
