Description
Appropriate for multiple EMD Diesels, such as the GP35.
In-Cab Sound from the comfort of your home
The Analog Sound Box has been developed as a joint effort between engineers at
Kato and Soundtraxx to craft a simple, versatile, and powerful sound system for
use on non-DCC layouts. Completely self-contained, the ASB has a built in
speaker and will allow modelers to enjoy an In-Cab experience while operating
their favorite trains!
Using separate plug-in sound containers, cartridges each with their own
individual sound and programming sets (even including things like momentum!),
the ASB is a smart device, not just making sounds but reacting appropriately to
the actions of your locomotives by reading back-EMF from the motors. Steam
locomotive chuffs will speed up and slow down according to the speed of the
locomotive itself; not just the position of the throttle, making the sound a
properly interactive experience!
The new Analog Sound Box will ship with an included EMD 1st Generation Diesel
sound container, appropriate for E and F-units or other older diesel
locomotives! Other sound containers will be available around the time of release(details
coming soon).
Product Features:
-
Works with both HO and N track-
The modular pass-through design of the Analog Sound Box means that it can
easily be used for both N and HO scale! -
Choo-choo-choose your sounds-
The Analog Sound Box will ship with an included Early EMD 1st Generation
Diesel sound chip, but additional diesel, steam and electric sound sets will
be available (sold separately) that will allow you to bring nearly any
sounds that you desire to your non-DCC layout! -
Smart Back-EMF reading-
The sound box doesn't just make noise - it will read the strain on the motor
in your engines and know how fast they're moving and how hard they're
working. Certain sound schemes (like steam where the chuff is directly
linked to the visual movement of the side rods) will self-adjust the sound
based on the speed of the locomotive so what you hear will match what you
see, all without the need for DCC! -
As loud (or as quiet) as you want it-
Have a powerful home stereo system? Or maybe you'd prefer headphones so that
you don't wake the neighbors- unlike sound systems that are tied to a
locomotive, the Analog Sound Box has a stereo out port so you can connect
headphones or speakers of your choice!
