SoundTraxx Speaker Baffles & Gaskets are essential components for getting the best possible sound from your DCC sound decoders. Properly sealing a speaker enclosure dramatically improves bass response, volume, and clarity by preventing sound leakage and distortion inside the locomotive or rolling stock.
Why Speaker Baffles & Gaskets Matter
A speaker without a sealed enclosure will sound thin and weak, regardless of decoder quality. Speaker baffles and gaskets create an airtight seal around the speaker, allowing it to move air efficiently and produce fuller, more realistic sound—especially noticeable in steam tenders and larger diesel shells.
Adding a properly sized baffle or gasket is often the single most effective upgrade for improving sound quality. Many modelers are surprised at how much stronger and clearer their locomotive sounds once the speaker is properly sealed.
