aboutSoundTraxxSoundTraxx has been designing and manufacturing the latest in state-of-the-art sound systems for the discriminati ng model railroader for over 25 years. Our experti se in creati ng innovati ve and fun products for DCC and sound cannot be surpassed.
Many of our ground-breaking features began with our early products. Our fi rst product was a powerful litt le lighti ng system called the Hyperlight. The Hyperlight was the fi rst lighti ng system to use a microprocessor, not only to provide brilliant lighti ng eff ects, but also to allow the user to select the desired eff ect from within one model. Today we sti ll incorporate this system into our digital sound decoders.
In 1992, our fi rst steam sound system included the fi rst digital, playable whistle. Today our sound decoders use an evolved version of this feature. Our current sound decoders can play a multi tude of sounds including whistles, bells, airhorns, compressors, dynamic brakes, and engine prime movers.
The steam versions also introduced our customers to Dynamic Digital Exhaust™, a method of adjusti ng the sound volume and ‘cut-off ’ of steam exhaust chuff automati cally, further enhancing the illusion of a steam locomoti ve coasti ng into the stati on or working to ascend a steep grade. This feature has been revamped for both steam and diesel locomoti ves in our new line of Tsunami2 Digital Sound Decoders (pg. 7).
Our Fireman Fred features (named to describe a set of sound eff ects associated with the work of a locomoti ve fi reman) were the fi rst of their kind. They have been a popular additi on to SoundTraxx steam sound decoders over the years. Tsunami2 now has FiremanEd available for diesel versions as well.
We incorporate leading technology into easy-to-use products in our new Tsunami2 and Econami lines of Digital Sound Decoders. We conti nue to invest in cutti ng-edge manufacturing machinery and emphasize quality control and customer support.
Above all we think model trains are fun just like you do, and we strive to maximize this feeling with each of our products.
Our Philosophy
At SoundTraxx, we believe in superior customer service above all else. We design robust products with a long life, strive to bring fun to each customer, and we aim to conti nue serving each customer for the life of their product and beyond. We have assembled a staff of professionals to design, manufacture, and sell our products right here in the U.S.A. We manufacture all of our electronics in our own facility in Durango, using the industry’s fi nest and ti niest components and our state -of-the-art manufacturing equipment.

Testing the Locomotive Stall Current
Testing your locomotive’s stall current is the first and most important thing to do before your purchase. The manufacturer of the locomotive may have provided this information for you, but beware! There are occasionally situations where a motor may not meet the manufacturer’s specifications. Likewise, this measurement should not be confused with its operating current. Therefore, we highly recommend that you do the following:
1. Place the locomotive on a section of track powered with a conventional DC power pack set to the same track voltage as your command station (typically 12-14 volts).
2. Connect a DC ammeter in series with one of the track feeders. If your power pack has built-in meters, they may be used for this purpose.
3. Grasp the locomotive to prevent it from taking off, and turn the power pack on.
4. Stop the motor from turning by grabbing hold of the flywheel or driveshaft.
5. For the most accurate current measurement, be sure that the power pack voltage remains at the voltage set in Step 1.
6. Measure the current the locomotive is drawing while the motor is stalled. This is the stall current and must be less than the decoder’s rated capacity.
Choosing the Right Board Format
In many cases, choosing the right board format will be obvious. However, if you have models which require a little more thought, it is important to select a decoder that you are comfortable installing unless you will enlist the help of a friend or DCC professional.
Some of our sound decoders are installed by way of small plastic caps that simply hold the wires in place. Some models are designed to plug into a mating connector on the circuit board that was installed during its assembly. Others easily plug into harnesses from prior installations.
SoundTraxx manufactures a variety of formats to facilitate an easy installation wherever possible.
Choosing the Right Soundfor your Model
Sometimes, choosing the right sound is easy, but regardless, we suggest choosing the sound that you like best. Many sound effects can be adjusted, such as the exhaust rate, bell ring rate, or number of airpumps. All SoundTraxx digital sound decoders have a ‘menu’ of prime movers, steam chuffs, airhorns or whistles, bells, and a plethora of other sounds that one can simply select using a DCC command station.
When choosing the decoder for a diesel locomotive, the prime mover (i.e. EMD, ALCO) is probably the most important factor, so take that into consideration when making your purchase.
The features list and decoder comparison chart offer a quick overview of technical specifications, sound effects, and operating characteristics across the current product line to help you to determine the product family that best suits your needs.
Lastly, our website contains sound samples and many helpful documents to guide you in the decision-making process.
