LC SERIES DIGITAL SOUND DECODER OWNER’S MANUAL 5
DSD-LC FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
The Digital Sound Decoder is designed to be installed onboard a locomotive in conjunction with
a miniature speaker to provide the ultimate in realism and control. The DSD-LC integrates a full-
featured digital sound system, a Hyperlight™ and a DCC decoder into a single miniature electronic
module. The modeler is thus freed of the expense and frustration of trying to fit multiple pieces of
equipment into an often space limited locomotive.
