Review on Unitrack Systems πŸ”Š Kato Analog Sound Box by Janet Williams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

OMG Incredibly accurate sound cascade, but ALSO makes your choke "pulse ".

I have been modeling N gauge for 20 years and have had older sound systems for my analogue circuitry which is extensive but WOW this sound system really and totally NOT ENOUGH for what he is capable of. Seriously, I'd love to do a great promotion for this system to do it justice. Not only are the digital, accurate multiple sounds amazing for both diesel and steam, and indeed my simple chokes on my second brand new rig which is under construction at our second home we spend in the summer in the Arizona mountains like Chokes"in swing" (YOU SHOULD APPLY THIS ADDITIONAL FEATURE WHICH IS AWESOME). You have to flat out to start the diesel and then pull back when the generators start and she picks up speed. When applying gas pauses, use dynamic pause and drive almost to a standstill. You really need to "MANAGE" the trains, not just stop and start them. My ballasts on my original layout that I use all winter at our main house in the Phoenix area are all pulsed, so I already like that feature. I just can't say enough good things about this KATO analog sound box, and it's DCC compatible too.

Pros
  • Designed for easy connection to a Kato power supply (sold separately)
Cons
  • Operating speed
