Sound Decoders
Need a full-function sound decoder that fits in a tight space? The LokSound 5 Micro is a perfect choice. This variant includes bare wire ends, allowing “hard-wire” installation into your project. With all the features of LokSound you’ve come to know and love packed into a tiny form factor, this decoder provides N and HO scale modelers with a great packaging option without compromising functionality. This decoder provides 0.75 amps of continuous motor output and 6 lighting outputs.
Dimensions: 25 x 11 x 5.5mm
The LokSound 5 L is perfect for O and S scale modelers. With a 3 amp motor capacity, 11 function outputs, and support for smoke units and RC servos, this decoder has all your large scale needs covered. A built-in PowerPack ensures smooth running over dirty track. The 38 pin design allows for easy plug-and-play installation into many modern O scale locomotives. Hard-wiring is easy with the supplied adapter board, and allows all your wiring to be neatly routed and soldered without fear of damaging the decoder.
Dimensions: 50.8 x 25.4 x 14 mm.
The LokSound 5 8 pin can be used for multiple applications in HO scale. The NMRA standard NEM652 8 pin plug can be used with many modern locomotive lighting boards. If a “hardwire” installation is desired, the plug can be cut off and the bare wires soldered to the model. With up to 6 lighting outputs, a small form factor, and ESU’s industry leading motor control, the LokSound 5 8 pin is a great choice for many HO scale locomotives.
Dimensions: 30 x 15.5 x 6mm
The LokSound 5 XL is the largest and most capable LokSound decoder available. With 4 amps of continuous motor output, 12 function outputs, and 7 logic outputs (for things like RC servos), this decoder is perfect for the demands required in things like O scale brass and G scale locomotives. 10 audio channels can be played simultaneously, and 2 independent speaker outputs are available, making for an audio powerhouse.
Dimensions: 51x40mm
The LokSound 5 21 pin can be used for multiple applications in HO scale. The NMRA standard 12MTC connector can be used with many modern DCC ready locomotives. If a “hardwire” installation is desired, the 58420 decoder is recommended. With 8 lighting outputs, a small form factor, and ESU’s industry leading motor control, the LokSound 5 21 pin is a great choice for many HO scale locomotives.
Dimensions: 30 x 15.5 x 6mm
Note: This decoder comes with 2 pre-soldered wires for a speaker. If you would like these removed, please type “remove wires” in the “other programming requirements” form field.
The LokSound 5 Direct is a perfect option for locomotives with an existing light board. This decoder will replace the board in most modern models from Atlas, Athearn Genesis, InterMountain, Kato, Bowser, and others. With 6 lighting outputs including built-in resistors for LED’s, you will have plenty of options for lighting your model.
Dimensions: 17 x 69 x 5 mm
