The ESU 58325 LokSound V5 L DCC is a large - scale sound decoder perfect for O and S scale locomotives. Measuring just 51mm x 25.5mm (2.007' x 1.003'), it comes with a pinhead and an adapter board. It's ready for programming, but if you don't want to program it yourself, Yankeedabbler can load the sound file for free. Just add the sound file number or locomotive type in the 'add order note' in your cart. You can view the ESU sound library at https://projects.esu.eu/projectoverviews/18, and we can load any ESU sound file you need. You can also buy a LokProgrammer from us (stock number 53452), though it's not always necessary as decoders can come pre - loaded with sound files and CV changes can be made using control systems. The V5 L decoder is great for applications where power requirements exceed the limits of a LokSound 5 decoder. Despite its small size, it has a dual speaker output and an integrated PowerPack. It features a multi - pin connector and comes with an adapter board with solder pads. It offers 'Full Throttle' decoder operation for diesels, with features like 'Drive Hold', 'Run 8', 'Coast', improved 'Dynamic Brakes' and a new 'Independent Brake' feature. The V5 decoder supports all DCC programming modes and with RailCom®, you can read out CV values on the main. It also supports various braking systems and is suitable for analog DC, AC and DCC command control. The sound reproduction is top - notch, with up to 10 channels, high - quality audio, and a large 128 MBit sound memory. Volume of sound fragments can be adjusted separately. It has at least 10 amplified outputs with adjustable brightness and additional outputs for certain interfaces. Motor control is excellent, with up to 1.5A motor current, variable PWM pulse frequency, and an 'Auto - Tune' function.

Using the ESU 58325 LokSound V5 L DCC decoder is easy. First, if you want the sound file pre - loaded, make sure to add the sound file number or locomotive type in the 'add order note' when you place your order. If you prefer to program it yourself, you can either use a LokProgrammer (which you can buy from us) or a control system. When installing the decoder in your locomotive, handle it carefully due to its small size. Connect it properly using the multi - pin connector and the adapter board with solder pads. For sound settings, you can adjust the volume of each sound fragment separately to get the perfect audio experience. When it comes to motor control, you can use the 'Auto - Tune' function to automatically calibrate the decoder to match your motor. As for maintenance, keep the decoder clean and free from dust. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture.
