Kato 22-102, N & HO Unitrack Soundbox, Sound Generator for DC Layouts

Kato Item #: 22-102 (Replaced Old Model 22-101-1)

Details:

The Kato Unitrack Sound Box is a joint effort between engineers at Kato and Soundtraxx to craft a simple, versatile, and powerful sound system for use on Analog, non-DCC layouts. Completely self-contained, the Soundbox has a built in speaker and will allow modelers to enjoy an “In-Cab” experience while operating their favorite trains!

Using separate plug-in sound “containers”, cartridges each with their own individual sound and programming sets (even including things like momentum!), the Soundbox is a “smart” device, not only making sounds but reacting appropriately to the actions of your locomotives by reading back-EMF from the motors. Steam locomotive chuffs will speed up and slow down according to the speed of the locomotive itself; not just the position of the throttle, making the sound a properly interactive experience!

This new release of the Kato Soundbox will have bi-lingual packaging for both the Japanese and US markets and will be packaged without a sound card.

Sound Box Features:

• Six function buttons give you control over specially picked prototype-recorded sounds, from horns to bells to dynamic brakes and coupler clanks.


• The Soundbox plugs onto the side of a Kato Power pack or can be powered externally, making it compatible with non-Kato Powered layouts.


• Sound plays from the built-in speaker or can be routed through a stereo-out jack to external speakers or headphones, for sound that can shake the windows (or play through your headphones)


• Can be paired with the also-available Kato 22-019 Smart Device Controller for hands-free Bluetooth operation.

*This new version does NOT include a Sound Card the way the old version did.
