ZIMO MS500 DCC Decoders offer the following features:

The MS500 is the "nano model" for Z and N scale sound in the ZIMO decoder range.  It comes in a variety of formats, has plenty of power, 4 function outputs, 2 convertible logic level outputs, and connections for external energy storage, especially important for uninterrupted sound.

Best of all, the MS500 is the only nano sound decoder on the market today measuring just 10mm wide.  The footprint is compact so it fits easily into almost any Kato, Athearn, Atlas, Intermountain, or other narrow hood diesel.

The MS500N is also the only nano sound decoder available with a NEM651 6-pin NMRA Integral Connector.  The combination of a ZIMO MS500N and ZIMO LS8x12 "Sugar Cube" speaker makes DCC conversion of Fox Valley Models ES44AC GEVO and GP60 extra quick and super easy.

MS500

• There is no predecessor in the "MX world".  This is a new format developed exclusively for the MS series of decoders.


• Miniature sound decoder with either NEM651 interface (6-pin connector directly on the decoder, i.e. no wires) or wired in the versions MS490R, MS490F.


• "MS-Sound" with 1 W fully digital sound amplifier for 8 ohm speakers.


• "Stay-alive": No special connection, but as with all decoders, an external circuit with some diodes, resistors and the energy storage capacitor up to 1000 µF can be connected
