ESU 56499 LokSound V4.0 6-Pin NEM651

The LokSound V4.0 recognises DCC, Selectrix® and the Motorola® protocol. LokSound V4.0 decoders can be used on DC as well as on AC layouts. Constant current of 1.1A continuous current are more than enough power for even for long trains. You can also expect excellent motor control with technology that makes it possible to drive your loco very slow on the tracks.

ESU, as the technologic and market leader takes your requirements for sound very seriously. There are already more than 200 sound variations available for the LokSound V4.0 ESU is extending the sound library all the time and provides all sounds on our homepage for free download.

Operating modes

The LokSound V4.0 recognises DCC, Selectrix® and the Motorola® protocol. It can be operated with 14, 28 or 128 drive steps or on analogue DC layouts in DCC mode.You can assign the decoders to 2-digit, 3-digit (1-127) or 4-digit (1-9999) addresses as well as a consist address. The Motorola®-protocol provides the operation of the LokSound V4.0 decoders with Märklin® control stations 6020®, 6021®, delta®, mobile station® and central station®. The decoders can be used with the addresses 01 – 255 on this mode. A second address provides the possibility to use the function keys F5 to F8. The Selectrix® protocol provides the possibility to use LokSound V4.0 decoders with this also established system. All established DCC brake systems like the well-known Lenz LG100, but also the new Lenz® ABC brake units with asymmetrical DCC signal are recognised as well as the braking on DC (with switched polarity) or on Selectrix® diode brake systems. You can also use the well-known Märklin® brake system in DCC-mode. Of course, our top decoder is able to determine a constant braking distance, so that your locos stop in front of the red signal, no matter what speed your loco is at. LokSound V4.0 decoders are also able to operate on analogue DC and AC layouts. The decoders can switch automatically between all modes (AC, Motorola®, DC, DCC, Selectrix®) during operation. This is important if some parts of your layout work with analogue control (e.g. fiddle yards).

Sound

The most important element of the new LokSound V4.0 decoders is the sound chip. This is why we have equipped the LokSound V4.0 with an enormous memory of 32 MBit to save up to 276 seconds of original sounds. The LokSound V4.0 works with 8 polyphonic channels, i.e. that the decoder is able to play up to 8 different sounds simultaneously, using the 16-Bit mixer and the nearly noiseless D/A convertor. So we can provide a much better monitoring of the original locomotive´s complex elements as it is possible to combine several channels. You‘ll recognise the difference at once! The sounds will be amplified up to three times louder than before by using a new digital „class D“ amplifier. We also changed from the old type of speakers to speakers with an impedance of 4 Ohms. Use our provided stock of new developed speakers! All single sounds of the LokSound V4.0 can be mixed in volume individually on nearly every digital control station. The new super flexible sound engine without static schedule provides a very prototypical simulation of all railroad vehicles.

Functions

LokSound V4.0 decoders have 4 function outputs with the possibility of using constant current of 250mA. These outputs can be assigned individually. Apart from that, there are two more non-amplified outputs with logic level. You can use those in combination with fitting adaptor PCBs (e.g. ESU 51968) to control more light or special physical functions. All important light functions like Flash, Gyrolight, Mars light, fire box and so on are provided including the individual adjustment of brightness for each function. Of course, the decoders provide automatic coupling and decoupling for couplers by Roco®, Krois® and Telex® and from now on even a full beaming head light function. The LED mode controls the right light effects when using LEDs.
