Tsu ·na
·mi (tsoo-nä´-mē) n. A huge wave of sound
caused by SoundTraxx’s newest and slightly unpronounceable product
NOW AVAILABLE IN DIESEL VERSIONS! Just
released! The first versions of our Diesel Tsunami has
been released in our TSU-1000 model. The first releases are
categorized by the prime mover that was in the original manufactured
locomotive and contain up to 16 airhorns in each; EMD 567, EMD 645, EMD
710, ALCO 244 and ALCO 251. More will be announced and released in
the near future! The new Diesel
User's Guide will get you started; other product documentation will be updated shortly.
The Tsunami sound system is SoundTraxx’s
new high-performance, onboard locomotive sound system. Like the DSD-150
it replaces, Tsunami integrates a full-featured sound system, four
Hyperlight lighting effects, a motor controller and a DCC decoder into a
single, integrated package and is compatible with the NMRA DCC standards
and Recommended Practices. Unlike the DSD-150, the Tsunami sound system
can also be used on ‘Analog’ layouts and controlled with a
conventional power pack, though it really shines on DCC controlled
layouts.
At Tsunami’s core is a true 32-bit
Digital Signal Processor, or DSP, capable of executing over 120 million
instructions per second. With this new level of performance, SoundTraxx
was able to give Tsunami 14 functions, over 22 individual sounds, and 4
special effects including the ability to alter the exhaust sound
automatically in response to changes in the engine load. The motor
controller received numerous enhancements as well, including the use of
high frequency PWM and load compensation. To keep the
size down, only components available in highly miniaturized packages
were selected for use in the Tsunami resulting in a form factor that
measures almost 30% shorter and 50% thinner than the DSD-150.
