The Kato Soundbox has been developed by engineers at Kato to craft a simple, versatile, and powerful sound system for use on non-DCC layouts. Completely self-contained, the Soundbox has a built in speaker and will allow modellers to enjoy an “In-Cab” experience while operating their favourite trains! Using separate plug-in sound cards, cartridges each with their own individual sound and programming sets (even including things like momentum!), the Soundbox is a “smart” device, not just 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! The Kato Soundbox fits onto the accessory terminals of the Kato controller. The Soundbox comes with 1x Steam Sound Card to get you started.  CLICK HERE to view an article on the KATO Sound Box. |
