Details:

The LokSound 5 is the most important member of the LokSound family. Due to the combination of the digital decoder and the sound module on one circuit board, we achieve the smallest possible dimensions of 30 mm x 15.5 mm. Therefore it fits into almost any H0 or 0 gauge locomotive.

LokSound 5 decoders are available with all popular interface types and are supplied with a sugar cube speaker (11 mm x 15 mm) and a sound enclosure.

The LokSound 5 DCC is made for the North American and Australian markets. It is a pure DCC Decoder, which supports RailComPlus and can also be used on DC layouts. Please note the LokSound 5 DCC decoder does not come with a speaker.

Operating Modes

Like all products of the LokSound family, the LokSound 5 is a true multi-protocol decoder. It supports DCC as well as Motorola, Selectrix, and M4. Of course, it supports 14 through to 128 speed steps as well as 2 and 4-digit addresses in DCC format and up to 32 functions. Thanks to RailComPlus the decoders register themselves fully automatically on suitable command stations.

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 the 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 the triggering of 16 functions. An integral programming mode even allows programming with the old Central Unit 6021. The M4 protocol supports the automatic registration on mfx-compatible central units.

The LokSound 5 decoder supports the Märklin 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 halt when a Selectrix braking diode is switched into the circuit. The ABC push-pull feature enables automatic commuting between two stations.

The LokSound 5 decoder is also suitable for analog DC and AC (!) layouts.

Sound

The LokSound 5 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 from the original. A 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 outstandingly flexible sound engine without a rigid flow chart facilitates a prototypical simulation of all conceivable rail vehicles. Three separately adjustable braking functions and two alternative load scenarios provide you with maximum control of your vehicles.
