Massoth 8201000 eMOTION LS Sound Decoder - Small Steam Locomotive, Stainz

The Massoth emotion LS decoder is a small 2.5Amps driving, function, and sound decoder designed for installation in G-scale locomotives equipped with a single motor.

The LS features a 1.9Amps output stage for a single motor, 3 light outputs, 6 function outputs, 3 contacts inputs,a Massoth-SUSI interface, and an integrated 2.4-watt class D sound amplifier with 6 independent sound channels.

The LS offers selectable 14/28/128 speed steps, analog and digital operation, digital and analog Back EMF, and overload - overheat protection for motor and function outputs.

The decoder holds a little over 2.5 minutes of high quality digital sound. It stores a locomotive's prototypical operating sounds as well as an array of additional sounds that may be configured to suit individual tastes. The integrated digital power amplifier reproduces all sounds and side noises of a locomotive authentically.

Operating the LS decoder with an additional power buffer increases its dependability: brief track power disruptions are bridged in analog and digital operation and contaminated tracks and switch frogs are negotiated without any speed changes or interruptions.

The eMOTION LS sound decoder supports the full NMRA protocol, and is compatible with all generations of the LGB® MTS system.
