ESU 58449 - LokSound 5 DCC/MM/SX/M4 "empty decoder", 21MTC "MKL", Retail, with loudspeaker 11x15mm, Gauge: 0, H0

 

Technical details

The LokSound 5 is the most important member of the LokSound family. Thanks to the combination of digital decoder and sound module on one circuit board, we achieve dimensions of just 30mm x 15.5mm and can therefore be installed in almost any locomotive with gauges H0 and 0.
LokSound 5 decoders are offered with all common interfaces and always come with an 11x15mm “sugar cube” speaker and a sound capsule kit.

Operating modes

Like all family members, the LokSound5 is a real multi-protocol decoder. It supports the DCC data format as well as Motorola®, Selectrix® and M4. In the DCC format, 14 to 128 speed levels are as standard as 2 and 4-digit addresses and up to 32 functions. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders log on to a suitable digital control center fully automatically.
It controls all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom®, the CV values on the main track can be read out with suitable control centers. There are auxiliary registers for control panels that can only program CVs from 1-255.
Motorola® users benefit from up to 28 speed levels with 255 addresses. Three additional Motorola® addresses enable the triggering of 16 functions. A built-in programming mode also makes reprogramming possible with the venerable Control Unit 6021.
The M4 protocol allows automatic registration to mfx®-compatible control centers.
The LokSound 5 decoder recognizes the Märklin® braking routes as well as ZIMO ® HLU braking commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake modules or with direct voltage is also possible. In addition, it also stops with a Selectrix® brake diode. An ABC automatic shuttle train enables automatic commuting between two stations.
The LokSound 5 decoder can be used on analog direct and alternating current trains.

Sound

The LokSound 5 decoder can play up to 10 channels simultaneously. Each channel can be resolved with up to 16 bit / 31250 kHz and finally offers HiFi quality on your system. There is practically no audible difference from the original. A Class-D audio power amplifier with up to 3W output power drives the speakers, which can have an impedance of between 4 ohms and 32 ohms. The huge 128 Mbit sound memory ensures enough capacity.
All individual sounds can be individually adjusted in volume. The super-flexible sound engine without a rigid schedule allows the exact simulation of all conceivable rail vehicles. Three separately adjustable braking functions and two alternative load scenarios give you maximum control over your vehicles.

Functions

We know that you want your locomotives to be as realistic as possible. That's why we packed the LokSound 5 with function outputs. Depending on the interface version, each LokSound 5 decoder offers at least 10 amplified function outputs. The versions with PluX22 or 21MTC interface have 4 additional outputs for controlling servos or logic level outputs. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be adjusted separately. The decoder handles automatic pressing and uncoupling when uncoupling for ROCO®, Krois® and Telex® couplings.

Motor control

The motor control of the LokSound 5 has once again been fundamentally improved. A variably adjustable PWM clock frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz ensures super-quiet operation, especially with bell-armature motors - the typical “humming” is a thing of the past. The load control can now be adapted to difficult cases with up to 10 CVs. The unique “Autotune” function enables the decoder to be automatically calibrated to the motor. With up to 1.5A motor current, the LokSound 5 decoder delivers enough juice even for older motors.
