Description

ESU 58412 LokSound 5 DCC/MM/SX/M4 Decoder PluX22: High-Performance Sound and Digital Decoder

The ESU 58412 LokSound 5 is a versatile digital decoder with an integrated sound module designed specifically for H0 and 0 gauge locomotives. With its compact dimensions (30 mm x 15.5 mm), this decoder can be installed in a wide range of locomotives, making it a flexible solution for model railway enthusiasts. The LokSound 5 enables simultaneous playback of up to 10 sound channels and offers numerous function outputs for customizable control of additional features on your locomotives.

Wide Range of Applications for H0 and 0 Gauge

The LokSound 5 Decoder is optimized for use in H0 and 0 gauge locomotives. Supporting a motor current of up to 1.5 A and up to 12 amplified function outputs, this decoder is ideal for model railroaders who wish to enhance their locomotives with extensive control options and realistic sound. Additionally, an optional PowerPack capacitor can be connected to maintain locomotive power even during short power interruptions, ensuring consistent performance.

Superior Sound Quality

The ESU LokSound 5 Decoder delivers high-quality sound with up to 10 simultaneous sound channels. Each channel is played at 16-bit resolution and a 31250 kHz sampling rate, producing crystal-clear audio output. The decoder includes an integrated “sugar cube” speaker (11x15 mm) and an adjustable sound chamber set, allowing flexible sound customization for each locomotive. Additionally, the decoder has a sound memory capacity of 128 Mbit, providing ample storage for complex audio files.

Advanced Technology and Enhanced Features

Equipped with a 32-bit processor and a digital Class-D amplifier (up to 3 W output), the LokSound 5 Decoder offers exceptional power and future-proof performance. It supports all common digital protocols, including DCC, RailComPlus®, M4, Motorola®, and Selectrix®. With the ability to activate up to 32 functions (depending on the command station used), this decoder provides extensive functionality. For more realistic operation, the LokSound 5 includes three adjustable braking regulators and a two-stage heavy load simulation. The motor control runs at a 50 kHz frequency, ensuring quiet, precise locomotive operation.

Conclusion: Flexibility and Power Combined

The ESU 58412 LokSound 5 Decoder is a powerful and flexible sound module for model railroaders seeking realistic sound and enhanced control capabilities for their locomotives. Its compact design, superior sound quality, and broad compatibility with various digital protocols make this decoder a valuable addition to any H0 or 0 gauge layout.
