n. A huge wave of sound caused by SoundTraxx’s newest and slightly
unpronounceable product!
The Tsunami sound
system is SoundTraxx’s new high-performance, onboard locomotive sound system.
Like the DSD-150 it replaces, Tsunami integrates a full-featured sound system,
four Hyperlight lighting effects, a motor controller and a DCC decoder into a
single, integrated package and is compatible with the NMRA DCC standards and
Recommended Practices. Unlike the DSD-150, the Tsunami sound system can also be
used on ‘Analog’ layouts and controlled with a conventional power pack, though
it really shines on DCC controlled layouts.
At Tsunami’s core is a true 16-bit Digital Signal Processor, or DSP, capable of
executing over 120 million instructions per second. With this new level of
performance, SoundTraxx was able to give Tsunami 14 functions, over 22
individual sounds, and 4 special effects including the ability to alter the
exhaust sound automatically in response to changes in the engine load. The motor
controller received numerous enhancements as well, including the use of high
frequency PWM and load compensation. To keep the size down, only components
available in highly miniaturized packages were selected for use in the Tsunami
resulting in a form factor that measures almost 30% shorter and 50% thinner than
the DSD-150.
TSU-1000
The TSU-1000LC integrates a digital sound system, lighting effects and a DCC
decoder into a single, miniature electronic module rated at 1 Amp. It is
currently available in steam versions.
