I want my steam locomotive retrofitted with a LokSound  decoder. Unfortunately, the supplied speakers is to large. Can I install a smaller speaker?

Of Course. For all LokSound V4.0, and V4.0 micro LokSound we offer a large selection of matching speakers with the correct impedance of 4-8 ohms. Each of these speakers is appropriate. You should always use the most largest speakers. The larger the speaker, the better the sound.

Note:
All loudspeakes, which are delivered in a doublepack, can be connected in series or parallel. They can also be used individually, since every single loudspeaker has an impendance of 8 Ohms. The series connection represents a total impendance of 16 Ohms.

What are the load control values for PIKO locomotives?

To set the correct load control values for PIKO locomotives you may follow the values given down below:

CV  2 = Value 3

CV52 = Value 20

CV53 = Value 80

CV54 = Value 30

CV55 = Value 30

CV56 = Value 255

The new values mentioned here will, of course, replace the previous ones and need to be used from firmware version 4.3.8991 onwards.

What are the load control values for Märklin® SFCN and Märklin® DCM?

To set the correct load control values for the big and small Märklin® SFCN as well as the Märklin® DCM you may follow the values given down below:

CV  2 = Value 4

CV52 = Value 30

CV53 = Value 50

CV54 = Value 40

How do I connect the dual speaker set 2 x 13mm (0.51") or 2 x 16mm (0.63")?

You need to connect these 50 Ohm speaker in series to get the 100 Ohm impedance to prevent an overload of the output amplifier. Never connect any other speaker with lower impedance then 100 Ohm to your decoder! The connection should be this way:
