Soundtraxx Blunami 21 Pin Sound Decoders BLU-21PNEM8
Blunami BLU-21PNEM8 Digital Sound Decoders from SoundTraxx are designed for locomotives equipped with a 21-pin (NEM660) decoder socket, offering true plug-and-play installation combined with Bluetooth wireless control. This series is ideal for modern DCC-ready locomotives where clean installation and advanced sound control are a priority.
Blunami Bluetooth Sound with 21-Pin Installation
The BLU-21PNEM8 series is part of the broader Blunami Digital Sound Decoders lineup, which allows wireless operation and configuration using the Blunami app. Bluetooth control enables easy setup and sound customization without requiring a traditional DCC throttle, while still supporting full NMRA-compliant DCC operation.
21-Pin (NEM660) Plug-and-Play Design
Blunami BLU-21PNEM8 decoders plug directly into locomotives with a factory-installed 21-pin NEM660 motherboard interface. This eliminates complex wiring and makes these decoders an excellent upgrade option for many modern HO scale and similar locomotives.
High-Quality Digital Sound Performance
Using SoundTraxx sound technology, BLU-21PNEM8 decoders deliver clear, dynamic audio that responds naturally to throttle input and operating conditions. For optimal results, pair your decoder with a properly matched SoundTraxx speaker and enclosure.
Function Outputs & Lighting Control
The BLU-21PNEM8 series provides multiple function outputs for controlling headlights, rear lights, ditch lights, marker lights, cab lighting, and other lighting effects depending on the locomotive’s motherboard support. Sound and lighting behavior can be adjusted wirelessly through the Blunami app or programmed using standard DCC CVs.
Compare Other Blunami Decoder Formats
If your locomotive requires a different installation style, you may also want to explore the compact BLU-1100, the versatile BLU-2200, or the feature-rich BLU-4408 Blunami decoder series.
Installation Accessories & Sound Optimization
Blunami BLU-21PNEM8 decoders are compatible with a wide range of SoundTraxx installation products, including installation accessories, wiring aids, and speaker baffles and gaskets to help simplify installs and maximize sound quality.
