Tsunami SoundCar Digital Sound Decoder

The Tsunami SoundCar Digital Sound Decoder produces clacks, screeches, squeals, buzzes, whooshes and other rolling stock clatter. It also includes a selection of adjustable horns, bells and whistles for cab cars and cabooses. For even more realism, the decoder has four Hyperlight equipped outputs for interior and exterior lights.

These universal-style decoders are easy to install in N - G scales and work with 8-ohm speakers. For the optimal experience, use a SoundCar decoder in every three to four cars. The SoundCar also includes a 2-pin plug for optionally using the SoundTraxx CurrentKeeper to maintain sounds and lights during momentary power losses due to finicky wheel pickups and not-so-perfect track.

BIG Sound Features

The SoundCar decoder features new and accurate recordings, most of which can be customized to accommodate a variety of rolling stock. Furthermore, the decoder has automated sound sequences and auto-adjusting features for prototypical operation.

Intelligent Consisting

Consisting Made Easy With the SoundCar, your switching sessions can be more realistic than ever! Our easy-to-use Intelligent Consisting lets you add and remove cars from your train without tricky programming. When the mode is activated, you can simply wave a magnet over the cars to quickly cut them in or out of the consist. Just like a brakeman with a brake club, this action is synced with a sound effect of the car’s hand brakes being tied or untied.
