The Model Rectifier Corp. (MRC) Digital Command Control (DCC) sound decoder includes a speaker and fits in the Kato USA N scale GG1 electric locomotive
What Sound?????????
I hope Noel is correct about the mic issue. That sounded horrible and at that level would be drowned out by all the other sounds on the layout. I have this model and its great. I wonder would I have to remove the Kato installed decoder to fit the MRC and would it be worth it if nobody could hear it?
I turned the speakers up to full and heard nothing.
I agree with Adam. Not good sound at all if any.
I have it installed and it sound much better than that. I believe it was the microphone pick up. My sound is deeper and louder.
Heard no sound from the loco…I heard the speaker talking…that all…
That thing does not sound good at all. Good video. Bad decoder
