Model Rectifier Corporation of Edison, NJ is truly excited to release its latest world beater in its expanding line of high performance DCC decoders for model railroading. The new Sounder is a sound-only decoder and speaker that’s easily added to any locomotive equipped with a standard, non-sound decoder or any piece of rolling stock equipped with wheel pickups.

The Sounder adds all 28 NMRA accessory sound function capability to *HO diesel locomotives, regardless of the make, or brand of decoder installed. The railroader simply hooks up two wires to the track power pickup points in the loco, and suddenly he can enjoy MRC’s rich, Brilliance™ sound including two types of EMD 2nd generation prime mover sounds, multiple horns & bells, brakes, air releases, pop valves, cooling fans, coupling sounds and more. And not just sound. Using simple soldering techniques, the Sounder can provide a full complement of locomotive lighting effects: Prime Stratolight; Mars; Ditch; Gyro; Strobe (single & double); and on/off function for internal lighting.
