The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody has been specially developed for installation in wide body N gauge locomotives of the Kato USA brand: Most diesel locomotives of this manufacturer come with only a common DC lighting board. Finally, these models can also be easily retrofitted with a LokSound decoder.
The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody with its dimensions of 47.5mm x 14mm x 4.5mm is a pure DCC decoder and comes without a loudspeaker.
Modes
The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody is a “pure-bred” DCC decoder. 14 to 128 driving steps are as self-evident as 2- and 4-digit addresses. Up to 32 functions can be triggered. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders log in fully to a suitable digital center. It masters all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom® the CV values can be read out on the main track with suitable control panels. Auxiliary regis- ters exist for control panels that can only program the CVs from 1-255.
The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody Decoder detects the Märklin® brake distances as well as ZIMO® HLU / ZACK commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake blocks or dc voltage is also possible. In addition, it also stops with a Selectrix® brake diode. An AUTOMATIC ABC commuter train allows automatic commuting between two stations.
The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody can be used on analog DC webs. The decoder switches “on-the-fly” fully automatically between operating modes. Most of the time, nothing needs to be adjusted.
Sound
The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody Decoder can play up to 12 channels simultaneously. Each channel can be resolved with up to 16 bits / 31250 kHz and offers hi-fi quality on its system. There is virtually no difference to the original audible anymore. A Class-D audio output with up to 3W output power controls the speakers, which can have between 4 ohms and 32 ohms impedance. A 128 Mbit sound memory provides enough capacity. All individual noises can be adjusted individually in the volume. The super-flexible sound engine without a rigid schedule allows the exem- plary simulation of all conceivable rail tracks.
Functions
Despite its compact dimensions, the LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody is equipped with 12(!) function outputs. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be set separately.
Motor Control
The motor control of the LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody has a variable PWM clock frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz, which ensures super-quiet operation, especially for bell anchor motors – the typical “hum” is a thing of the past. The load control can be adapted to difficult cases with up to 10 CVs. The unique “Autotune” function allows the decoder to be automatically measured against the motor. The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA decoder delivers up to 0.9A motor power.
Operational reliability
A PowerPack can be connected to the LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody on request to bridge dirty rail sections.
SKU: 58941With the LokSound 5 Nano DCC, ESU has succeeded in developing an even smaller LokSound decoder: With only 19.6 mm x 8.5 mm x 3.2 mm, it is the smallest LokSound decoder we have ever built. Thus, it should really be used in all vehicles of nominal sizes N and TT.
The LokSound 5 Nano DCC decoder is a pure DCC decoder with open cable ends for free wiring. The LokSound 5 Nano DCC is made for the North American and Australian markets. It is a pure DCC Decoder, which supports RailComPlus and can also be used on DC layouts. Please note the LokSound 5 Nano DCC decoder does not come with a speaker.

The LokSound 5 Nano Decoder detects the Märklin® brake distances as well as ZIMO® HLU / ZACK commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake blocks or with equal voltage is also possible. In addition, it also stops with a Selectrix® brake diode. An automatic ABC pen train allows automatic commuting between two stations.

Functions
Despite its small size, the LokSound 5 Nano has 6 reinforced function outputs as well as a logic level output as a solder pad. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be set separately. The decoder controls the automatic start-up and disconnection when uncoupling for ROCO®, Krois® and Märklin telex ® couplings.

The LokSound 5 Nano DCC Direct Decoder delivers up to 0.75A motor power.
SKU: 58923With its unique design the LokSound 5 Direct DCC can easily replace boards that provide poor motor control, low volume, or generally inferior sound. Not only will the decoder work fine with most factory installed speakers, but it will sound even better with our new 11x15mm“sugar cube” speaker and sound enclosure kits. generally inferior sound.

Modes
The LokSound 5 DCC is made for the North American and Australianmarkets. It is a pure DCC Decoder, which supports RailComPlus and can also be used on DC layouts. With its size of 0.67x2.72inch/17x69mmThe V5 Direct DCC will fit in almost all of the popular North American and Australian HO manufacturers locomotives.
In the DCC format, 14 to 128 speed steps are as natural as 2- and4-digit addresses and up to 32 functions. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders log on fully automatically to a suitable digital central unit.
It masters all DCC programming modes and, thanks to RailCom®, the CV values on the main track can be read out with suitable control panels. For panels that can only program the CVs from 1-255, there are auxiliary registers.
Braking with DCC brake modules or DC voltage is also possible. An automatic ABC shuttle allows automatic commuting between two stations.
The LokSound 5 decoder can also be used on analog DC tracks.
Sound
The LokSound 5 decoder can play 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 virtually no difference to the original more audible. A Class D audio power amplifier with up to 3W output powers the speakers, which may have between 4 ohms and 32 ohms impedance. The huge 128 M bit sound storage provides enough capacity.
All individual sounds can be individually adjusted in volume. The super flexible Sound engine without rigid schedule allows the prototypical simulation of all imaginable locomotives. Three separately adjustable braking functions and two alternative load scenarios give you the maximum control over your Locos.
Features
We know that you want your locomotives to be as realistic as possible.That’s why we packed the LokSound 5 with function outputs.Depending on the interface version, each LokSound 5 decoder offers at least 8 amplified function outputs. Of course tons of lighting effects are also available. The brightness of each output can be set separately.The decoder handles the automatic on and off during uncoupling for ROCO®, Krois® and Telex® couplings. In order to keep compatible with the thousands of LokSound Selects and LokSound V4 decoders already on the market we made sure to add many of the most popular features of that Generation! This Includes the Full Throttle features,including the Famous Drive Hold!
Motor Control
The engine control of the LokSound 5 has again been fundamentally improved. A variably adjustable PWM clock frequency of 10kHzto 50kHz ensures especially in bell armature motors for a super quiet operation - The typical “humming” 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 allows the automatic decompression ofthe decoder to the motor.
The LokSound 5 decoder delivers up to 1.5A motor current enough juice for older engines.
