ESU 58814 - LokSound 5 micro DCC/MM/SX/M4 "Empty decoder", PluX16, retail, with speaker 11x15mm, track width: N, TT, H0

Technical details

The LokSound 5 micro is a "small miracle": With a footprint of just 21mmx10mm, it is one of the smallest LokSound decoders we have ever built. This means that it should be used in all vehicles of nominal sizes N and TT, but also in small H0 vehicles. LokSound 5 micro decoders always have a Next18 interface and are offered with adapter plugs for all common interfaces. An 11x15mm "sugar cube" loudspeaker and sound capsule kit are also always included.

Operating modes

The LokSound 5 micro is also 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 natural as 2- and 4-digit addresses and up to 32 functions. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders register fully automatically with a suitable digital control center.
It can handle 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 centers 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 16 functions to be triggered. A built-in programming mode also makes reprogramming possible with the venerable Control Unit 6021.
The M4 protocol allows automatic registration with mfx®-compatible control centers.
The LokSound 5 micro decoder recognizes the Märklin® braking sections as well as ZIMO® HLU braking commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC braking modules or with direct current is also possible. It also stops with a Selectrix® braking diode. An ABC shuttle train system enables automatic commuting between two stations.
The LokSound 5 micro decoder can be used on analogue direct and alternating current railways (!).

Sound

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

Functions

Despite its small size, the LokSound 5 micro has at least 6 amplified function outputs and a logic level output. There are two additional logic level outputs on the Next18 interface, which can alternatively control RC servos. All important light functions are available. The brightness of each output can be set separately. The decoder can automatically apply and release when uncoupling ROCO®, Krois® and Telex® couplings.

Motor control

The motor control of the LokSound 5 has been fundamentally improved again. A variably adjustable PWM clock frequency of 10kHz to 50kHz ensures super-quiet operation, especially with bell-shaped 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. The LokSound 5 decoder delivers up to 0.75A motor current, which is enough power for all intended application scenarios.
