Soundtraxx Tsunami2 Kato N Scale Sound Decoders TSU-KN1
Tsunami2 TSU-KN1 Sound Decoders from SoundTraxx are purpose-built digital sound decoders designed specifically for Kato N-scale locomotives. Featuring a drop-in board-replacement design, the TSU-KN1 series delivers premium Tsunami2 sound and refined motor control while maintaining a clean, factory-style installation.
Designed for Kato N-Scale Locomotives
The TSU-KN1 series is engineered to replace the factory light board found in many Kato N-scale models. This drop-in format minimizes wiring, simplifies installation, and ensures proper fit while preserving lighting and motor functionality.
Part of the Tsunami2 Digital Sound Decoder Platform
TSU-KN1 decoders are part of the Tsunami2 Digital Sound Decoders family. Tsunami2 is SoundTraxx’s second-generation sound platform, offering highly realistic sound, advanced motor control, and full compatibility with NMRA-compliant DCC systems.
Premium Tsunami2 Sound in a Compact Package
Despite their compact size, TSU-KN1 decoders deliver clear, dynamic Tsunami2 sound that responds naturally to throttle input and operating conditions. For best results in N-scale installations, pair the decoder with an appropriately sized SoundTraxx speaker and enclosure designed for limited space.
Motor & Lighting Control
The TSU-KN1 series provides refined motor control for smooth starts, excellent low-speed performance, and consistent operation. Integrated lighting outputs support headlights and other onboard lighting features supported by the locomotive’s design.
