ESU 58928 TT/N LokSound 5 Nano DCC 'Leerdecoder', Next18, Retail, Lautsprecher Product Details
The LokSound 5 Nano is a "thoroughbred" DCC decoder. 14 to 128 speed steps are just as natural as 2- and 4-digit addresses. Up to 32 functions can be triggered. Thanks to Rail-ComPlus®, the decoders register fully automatically with a suitable digital central unit.
It masters all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom® the CV values on the main track can be read out with suitable command stations. Auxiliary registers are available for command stations that can only program CVs from 1-255.
The LokSound 5 Nano DCC decoder recognizes the Märklin® braking sections as well as ZIMO® HLU / ZACK commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake modules or with DC voltage is also possible. It also stops with a Selectrix® brake diode. An ABC automatic shuttle train system enables automatic shuttling between two stations. The LokSound 5 Nano DCC can be used on analog DC tracks.
The decoder switches between the operating modes fully automatically "on-the-fly". In most cases, nothing needs to be set.

Frequently asked questions
| Question: | Which locomotives is the ESU LokSound 5 Nano DCC 58928 suitable for? |
| Answer: | This particularly compact sound decoder is primarily intended for N and TT scale vehicles. It measures approximately 15 × 9.5 × 3.5 mm and requires a compatible Next18 interface. The available installation space, motor current consumption and room for the speaker and enclosure should also be checked before purchase. |
| Question: | What does blank decoder mean? |
| Answer: | No vehicle-specific sound project is preloaded. The required locomotive sound must therefore be transferred with a suitable ESU LokProgrammer or programmed by a suitably equipped specialist retailer before the sound functions can be used. This allows the decoder to be configured for a particular steam, diesel or electric locomotive. |
| Question: | Which digital and analogue systems are compatible with the decoder? |
| Answer: | The LokSound 5 Nano DCC is a DCC-only decoder supporting 14 to 128 speed steps, short and long addresses, and up to 32 controllable functions. RailComPlus enables automatic registration with a compatible command station. The decoder can also operate on analogue DC layouts. Motorola and mfx digital protocols are not supported by this version. |
| Question: | Which motor-control and function features does the decoder provide? |
| Answer: | The motor output is rated for a maximum load of 0.75 amps. Load control, an adjustable PWM frequency and an AutoTune function help adapt the decoder to different motors. Multiple function outputs are also available for lighting and other controllable accessories. The outputs that can actually be used depend on the locomotive’s Next18 circuit board and internal wiring. |
| Question: | Is a speaker included? |
| Answer: | Yes. An 11 × 15 mm sugar-cube speaker with a sound-enclosure kit is included. The decoder has an audio amplifier rated at up to 3 watts and supports speakers with an impedance of 4 to 32 ohms. For good sound reproduction, the enclosure should be assembled tightly and installed in a suitable position inside the vehicle. |
