    Hay folks! I working on a design for new sound system. First I'll tell you a bit about
    this project. Then I'd like to know what you'd like to see in your idea of the dream
    sound system!

    · Works with any throttle system you may already have!
    · 8 separate sounds per throttle.
    · Computer assisted.
    · Pick the profile that most closely matches
    the sound of your railroad.
    · Edit and make your own profiles.
    · Up to 4 throttles.
    · Random sounds per throttle. IE: air compressors, pressure release and other
    engine sounds.
    · Both diesel and steam sounds.
    · Pick and chose the random sounds for the seen's that match your model railroad.
    · Panel mounted or walk around styles.
    · Inexpensive and upgradeable! So you
    start out small on a small budget and up graded as You have the money.

    I'm sure I have left out something. I'm hoping
    you can tell me! Like what 8 sounds Would you want to have in this dream sound system?

    Please post any ideas or thoughts here, or email them to me at : " ns@eznetbbs.tzo.com " .

    Thanks for your help!

    Hey Sean welcome to the 'board.

    I think the most important consideration, if you're going to market this item is make it very user friendly, and it should have a 'turnkey' option, ie the user does't have to make any changes unless he wants to.
    The volume of the various sounds should be adjustable. I love my Soundtrax, but the compressor overpowers everything sometimes.
    Good Luck and keep us posted

    by any throttle, do you include LENZ DCC?? I want to add sound eventually but since I'm in N scale, I will have to mount a series of speakers and have track detectors activate speakers in that area.
    Let me know if you have found a way to handle dcc
    Thanx

    The only other feature that I would like to have is onboard speakers. Does your plan provide for that? [​IMG]
