LokSound V5 DCC Sound Chip

Designed specifically for the accurascale Class 30 locomotive, this decoder works seamlessly with the onboard lighting, PowerPack stay-alive system and dual speaker configuration to reproduce the characteristic sound and function of an BR Class 30 at work.

Common Features:

  • The LokSound 5 decoder works for analogue DC and AC (!) layouts.

    Sound

    The LokSound 5 decoder can reproduce up to 10 channels simultaneously. Each channel offers up to 16 Bit / 31250 kHz and thus we have finally achieved hi-fi sound quality on your layout. For all practical purposes one cannot detect any difference to the original. A class D audio power amplifier with up to 3W output power feeds the speakers with a permitted impedance of 4 – 32 Ohms. The huge 128 MBit sound memory assures sufficient storage capacity.

    The volume of all individual sound fragments may be adjusted separately. The outstandingly flexible sound engine without a rigid flow chart facilitates a prototypical simulation of all conceivable rail vehicles. Three separately adjustable braking functions and two alternative load scenarios provide you with maximum control of your vehicles.

    Functions

    We are quite aware that you want your locomotives to be as realistic as possible. Therefore we have packed many function outputs into it.  Subject to the type of interface every LokSound 5 has at least 10 amplified outputs. The decoders with PluX22 or 21MTC interface have an additional 4 outputs for controlling servos or as logic outputs. Of course, all important lighting functions are supported. The brightness of each output may be adjusted separately. The decoder supports the automatic push and pull movements – known as the coupler waltz - required for reliable operation of digital couplers such as the ones by ROCO® and Krois® as well as Telex® couplers.

    Motor control

    Motor control of the LokSound 5 has been further improved. A variable PWM pulse frequency ranging from 10 kHz to 50 kHz assures perfect silent operation, particularly for coreless motors. Thus the typical hum is a thing of the past. Load control can now be adjusted with up to 10 separate CVs and thus will manage even the most difficult cases. The unique “Auto Tune” function facilitates the automatic calibration of the decoder to perfectly match the motor. The LokSound 5 decoder supplies up to 1.5A motor current, which is quite sufficient even for older motor types.

Accurathrash CL30 DCC Sound decoder.

Having purchased 2 Class 30's from Accurascale, I was thrilled when the guys announced that they'd managed to get access to a "MIRLEES" engine sound profile. And, as with all their sound profiles, this one doesn't disappoint either. I've only listened to it on my decoder tester, but can't wait to get the body off and install the decoder along with the Accurathrash 8 Ohm speaker, and a loco crew for good measure.

Class 30 DCC Sound Decoder Fitting

Without doubt the quickest DCC Sound Decoder I’ve ever fitted in three years of doing them. Shows how a well executed design and manufacturing programme really benefits the end user. Don’t know how long it takes to achieve this level of manufacturing excellence, but it’s certainly time very well spent . . . yet another benchmark achievement from the Accurascale Team, keep up the splendid work . . . on all you do in the future !!!

Makes Sound Easy

Bought this for a class 30. Very easy to install thanks to the magnetic hatch and pre-installed speaker. Already setup with the sound and lighting functions that match the card that came with the model.

Really easy to fit and attach the speaker. Performance is identical to the other manufacturers sound fitted locomotives, that I have.
What a different sound from the Mirlees “engine” compared to the “re engined” 31’s
Perfect

The 30

Another first from Accurascale. How different they sounded from the re-engined locos. Looking forward to the release of some of the early series without headcode boxes - D5501 would to nicely being the first one I ever saw.

Where's the functions?

The decoder has captured the sound of the Mirrlees engine very well but is lacking in other common sounds such as exhausters. Do we really need the variety of horns? The brake sounds are not synced properly and the hall sensors inputs don't work

Fantastic!

I was very disappointed when the Class 30/31 was announced as the Class 30 was announced with no sound! But was elated when Accurascale said that had found a working Mirlees motor so they could now offer a sound decoder!
It does what it says on the tin - fantastic noise"
