SurroundTraxx DSP-80 Multi-Train Sound System for DCC
SoundTraxx SurroundTraxx DSP-80 Multi-Train Sound System is a powerful layout-based audio solution designed to deliver immersive, multi-speaker surround sound for DCC model railroads. Instead of placing sound in every locomotive, the DSP-80 distributes sound across the layout, allowing audio to follow trains and fill the scene with realistic, directional sound.
Multi-Train Layout Sound for DCC
The DSP-80 is engineered to manage sound for multiple trains simultaneously, making it ideal for home layouts, club layouts, and exhibition railroads. By using speakers mounted under the layout or within scenery, the DSP-80 creates the illusion that sound originates from the train’s actual location on the layout.
Part of the SurroundTraxx System
This collection features the DSP-80 as part of the broader SoundTraxx SurroundTraxx ecosystem. SurroundTraxx systems are designed to complement onboard sound decoders while adding ambient, trackside, and train-following audio that cannot be achieved with locomotive sound alone.
Works with SoundCar & DCC Sound Decoders
The DSP-80 works especially well with SoundTraxx SoundCar decoders, allowing sound effects triggered from rolling stock to be distributed across multiple speakers. It also integrates seamlessly with Tsunami2, Econami, and Blunami sound decoders installed in locomotives.
Distributed Speaker Audio
The DSP-80 requires external speakers, which are sold separately. For best results, multiple SoundTraxx speakers should be placed strategically around the layout. Using speaker baffles and gaskets helps improve sound quality and enclosure performance.
The DSP-80 is particularly well suited for larger layouts, club environments, and public displays where immersive sound dramatically enhances realism. By removing sound hardware from locomotives, the DSP-80 also helps reduce onboard space constraints while expanding the overall audio experience.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the SurroundTraxx DSP-80?
The DSP-80 is a multi-train, layout-based surround sound system that distributes audio across multiple speakers on a DCC layout.
Does the DSP-80 replace locomotive sound decoders?
No. The DSP-80 complements onboard sound decoders by adding ambient and layout-wide sound effects.
