ESU 58412 LokSound 5 DCC/MM/SX/M4 empty decoder, Plux22, H0 / 0

The LokSound 5 is the most important member of the LokSound family. Due to the combination of digital decoder and sound module on one PCB, we achieve dimensions of only 30mm x15.5mm and can thus be installed in almost every locomotive of the gauges H0 and 0. LokSound 5 decoders are offered with all common interfaces and always come with a 11x15mm "sugar cube" speaker along with sound capsule kit.

Operating modes: Like all family members, the LokSound5 is a true multi-protocol decoder. It masters the DCC data format as well as Motorola®, Selectrix® and M4. In DCC format, 14 to 128 speed steps are as natural as 2- and 4-digit addresses and up to 32 functions. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoder registers fully automatically with a suitable digital command station. 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 exist for command stations that can only program CVs from 1-255. Motorola® users benefit from up to 28 speed steps at 255 addresses. Three additional Motorola® addresses allow the triggering of 16 functions. A built-in programming mode makes reprogramming possible even with the venerable Control Unit 6021. The M4 protocol allows automatic registration with mfx® compatible command stations.

The LokSound 5 decoder recognizes Märklin® braking sections as well as ZIMO® HLU braking commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake modules or with DC voltage is also possible. In addition, it also stops with a Selectrix® brake diode. An ABC shuttle train automatic allows automatic shuttling between two stations.

The LokSound 5 decoder can be used on analog DC and AC railroads.

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 layout. There is practically no difference to the original audible. A Class-D audio power amplifier with up to 3W output power drives the speakers, which may have between 4 Ohm and 32 Ohm impedance. The huge 128 Mbit sound memory provides enough capacity. All individual sounds can be individually adjusted in volume. The super-flexible sound engine without a rigid schedule allows prototypically accurate simulation of all conceivable rail vehicles. Three separately adjustable brake functions and two alternative load scenarios give you maximum control over your vehicles.

Functions: We know you want your locomotives to be as realistic as possible. That's why we've 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 add 4 outputs for controlling servos or logic level outputs. All important light functions are available. The brightness of each output can be adjusted separately. The decoder masters automatic pressing on and off during uncoupling for ROCO®, Krois® and Telex® couplers.

Motor control: The motor control of the LokSound 5 has 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 "hum" 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 allows automatic tuning of the decoder to the motor. With up to 1.5A motor current, the LokSound 5 decoder provides enough juice even for older motors.
