Soundtraxx Tsunami2 Sound Decoders TSU Big Steam
Tsunami2 Big Steam Sound Decoders from SoundTraxx are designed specifically for large steam locomotives that demand powerful audio output, advanced motor control, and highly detailed sound reproduction. The Big Steam series delivers the full Tsunami2 sound experience with the headroom and features required for larger models and installations.
Purpose-Built for Large Steam Locomotives
Tsunami2 Big Steam decoders are optimized for larger steam prototypes where space allows for bigger speakers and more complex lighting and function setups. This makes them an excellent choice for articulated locomotives, large tenders, and premium steam models where sound realism is a top priority.
Part of the Tsunami2 Digital Sound Decoder Platform
The Big Steam series is part of the Tsunami2 Digital Sound Decoders family. Tsunami2 is SoundTraxx’s second-generation sound platform, offering highly realistic sound, refined motor control, and full compatibility with NMRA-compliant DCC systems.
High-Power Tsunami2 Sound Performance
Using advanced Tsunami2 sound technology, Big Steam decoders deliver rich, dynamic audio with excellent low-frequency response when paired with a properly sized speaker system. For best results, combine these decoders with large-format SoundTraxx speakers and properly sealed enclosures to fully utilize the decoder’s audio capability.
Motor & Advanced Lighting Control
Tsunami2 Big Steam decoders provide refined motor control for smooth starts, realistic momentum, and excellent low-speed operation. Multiple function outputs support headlights, backup lights, firebox flicker, cab lighting, marker lights, and other steam-specific lighting effects depending on the locomotive configuration.
