Product Details
Brand: LOKSOUND by ESU
LokSound 5 Micro Sound and DCC Control Decoder by ESU is a great choice for N, TT and small HO Scale locomotive models. LokSound 5 is a true multi-protocol decoder. It supports DCC as well as Motorola, Selectrix and M4 systems. It offers a choice of 14 through to 128 speed steps, two and four-digit addresses in DCC format and up to 32 functions. On RailComPlus(R) systems the decoders register themselves automatically on command stations equipped with the feature. Its compact dimensions of only 13/16 x 3/8" 21 x 10mm make it great for use in N Scale locomotives. It is equipped with a dual speaker output and is supplied with an 7/16 x 19/32" 11 x 15mm sugar cube speaker and enclosure. This decoder si dual-mode and can operate on standard DC railroads with limited sound functions. This decoder supports all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom you may read out the CV values on the main, provided you have a command station supporting RailCom. There are utility registers for command stations that only facilitate programming of CVs ranging from 1 to 255.
Motorola users benefit from up to 28 speed steps for 255 addresses. Three additional Motorola addresses facilitate triggering of 16 functions. An integral programming mode even allows programming with the good old Marklin Control Unit 6021. The M4 protocol supports the automatic registration on mfx compatible central units.
The LokSound decoder supports the Marklin braking sections just as well as the Zimo HLU braking commands or the Lenz ABC system. Braking with DCC brake generators or with DC is also possible. Furthermore the locomotive with a LokSound will come to a halt when a Selectrix braking diode is switched into the circuit. The ABC push-pull feature enables the automatic commuting between two stations.
The LokSound 5 micro decoder can reproduce up to 10 channels simultaneously. Each channel offers up to 16 Bit / 31250 kHz and thus we have finally achieved hi-fi sound quality on your layout. For all practical purposes one cannot detect any difference to the original. A double class D audio power amplifier with up to 3W output power feeds the speakers with a permitted impedance of 4 - 32 Ohms. The huge 128 MBit sound memory assures sufficient storage capacity.
The volume of all individual sound fragments may be adjusted separately. The flexible sound engine without a rigid flow chart allows prototypical simulation of all conceivable motive power. Three separately adjustable braking functions and two alternative load scenarios provide you with maximum control.
Despite its small dimensions the LokSound 5 Micro has six amplified function outputs as well as one logic output. There are two more logic outputs on the Next18 interface to control RC servos. All important lighting functions are supported, each with separate brightness control. The decoder supports automatic push and pull movements required for reliable operation of digital couplers.
Motor control of the LokSound 5 micro has a variable PWM pulse frequency ranging from 10 to 50kHz for perfectly silent operation, even with coreless motors. Load control can be adjusted with up to 10 separate CVs, and Auto Tune function facilitates automatic calibration of the decoder to match the motor. The LokSound 5 micro decoder supplies sufficient motor current (up to 0.75 A) for the intended applications.
LokSound 5 Micro decoders have a built-in Next18 interface and are available with adapter plugs to suit all popular digital interface types.
LokSound 5 Micro is part of the line of ESU LokSound decoders.
