Soundtraxx Round Speakers

Soundtraxx Round Speakers

SoundTraxx Round Speakers are a popular choice for DCC sound decoder installations because they fit well in many locomotive shells and tenders while delivering strong, balanced audio. Choosing the right round speaker and pairing it with a sealed enclosure can dramatically improve volume, clarity, and bass response on your layout.

Round Speakers for SoundTraxx Decoders

SoundTraxx speakers are designed to work seamlessly with SoundTraxx sound systems including Tsunami2 digital sound decoders, Econami digital sound decoders, Blunami digital sound decoders, and Tsunami SoundCar decoders. They also support layout audio systems like SurroundTraxx where distributed speakers create immersive layout-wide sound.

Why Choose a Round Speaker?

Round speakers often provide excellent overall sound balance and are especially useful when your installation space allows a round enclosure. They are commonly used in steam tenders, larger diesel shells, cabooses, passenger equipment, and other models where a round cavity or mount is available.

Use a Sealed Enclosure for Best Sound

Speaker performance depends heavily on the enclosure. For best results, use properly sized enclosures and sealing components such as speaker baffles and gaskets. A sealed enclosure improves bass response and reduces distortion, helping your decoder’s sound project more realistically.
