November 12, 2005 - First Tsunami's Ready to Ship!
 

SoundTraxx has announced that the first Tsunami Digital Sound Decoders are now shipping! 

Tsunami Digital Sound Decoders are SoundTraxx’s new high-performance, onboard locomotive sound system. 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. Tsunami Digital Sound Decoders can also be used on ‘Analog’ layouts and controlled with a conventional power pack.

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.  In addition, the use of high frequency PWM and load compensation make for exceptional motor control. 

The TSU-1000 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 six steam versions, each with unique whistles, bells, airpumps, exhaust and more.  Tsunami is priced affordably at $99.95.  For additional information and complete ordering information, please visit the Tsunami product section on our website.
