A very important part of the LokSound system is the speaker. Therefore, we only use specially developed loudspeakers geared to the sound decoder. Here we recommend the following old saying, the bigger the speaker, the better the sound. As such, we offer loudspeakers in various sizes, one of them will surely fit into your loco. Should there not be enough space, you can also install the speaker in a ‘ghost waggon’ directly behind the loco.

If required, SwitchPilot can be augmented with the SwitchPilot Extension Modul: Plugged in at the side of the SwitchPilot, it offers four relay-driven outputs, used for switching potential-free loads, or for polarizing the frog; the ideal supplement for tricky circuitry.

Our SwitchPilot decoders cannot only control point mechanisms but also daylight signals. Most modern signals are equipped with LEDs. Usually the anode connections of multi-aspect signals are combined in order to reduce the number of wires. Some manufacturers (e.g.: Viessmann®) combine the cathodes and for that reason these signals could not be controlled with the SwitchPilot in the past. Our new adapter provides the solution. Simply plug the adapter into the output terminals of the SwitchPilot and you are ready to go.
