LokSound 5 micro Next18 with loudspeaker

LokSound 5 micro DCC/MM/SX/M4 "empty decoder", Next18, retail, with speaker 11x15mm

The LokSound 5 micro is a "little miracle": With a footprint of only 21mmx10mm, it is by far the smallest LokSound decoder that we have ever built. It should therefore be used in all vehicles of the 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" speaker along with a sound capsule kit is also always included.

Operating modes:
The LokSound 5 micro is also a real multi-protocol decoder. It can handle the DCC data format just like Motorola®, Selectrix® and M4. In the DCC format, 14 to 128 speed steps are just 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 command station.

It masters all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom®, the CV values on the main track can be read out with the appropriate central units. Auxiliary registers exist for command stations that can only program CVs from 1-255.

Motorola® users benefit from up to 28 speed steps 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 permits automatic registration with mfx®-compatible control panels.

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. In addition, it also stops with a Selectrix® brake diode. An ABC automatic shuttle train enables automatic commuting between two stations.

The LokSound 5 micro decoder can be used on analogue DC and AC railways (!).

audio:
The LokSound 5 micro decoder can play back up to 10 channels simultaneously. Each channel can be resolved with up to 16 bit / 31250 kHz and finally offers hi-fi quality on your system. There is practically no difference to the original that can be heard. A Class-D audio power amplifier with an output power of up to 3W controls the loudspeakers, which can have an impedance between 4 ohms and 32 ohms. 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 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.

Features:
Despite its small size, the LokSound 5 micro has at least 6 amplified function outputs and a logic level output. There are two more 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 adjusted separately. The decoder masters the automatic pressing on and off when uncoupling for ROCO®, Krois® and Telex® couplings.

Motor control:
The engine control of the LokSound 5 has again been fundamentally improved. A variably adjustable PWM clock frequency of 10kHz to 50kHz ensures super-quiet operation, especially with coreless 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 enables the decoder to be automatically calibrated to the motor. With a motor current of up to 0.75A, the LokSound 5 decoder supplies enough juice for all intended use scenarios.
