New to the range of High-Performance Dynamic Speakers for DCC Sound locomotives is the “Tornado Twin Long” by DCC Solutions.
One of our most popular and best-selling speakers, the “Thunder” has been around since 2013. It became the speaker of choice, popular with modellers installing sound, as they were impressed with the quality and sound output from these small dynamic speakers.
Now it finally gets some new additions to expand its line-up.
The DCCS – “TORNADO TWIN LONG” consists of two Thunder speakers installed in a precision engineered side-by-side long format single enclosure. The height of the enclosure has been increased to create a larger sound chamber to increase the volume and bass output levels. The orientation of the speakers is that they are joined on the shorter side creating a longer but narrow sized speaker enabling it to be installed in locomotives where this type of space is available.
Don't be fooled by their size as these speakers show a significant improvement in sound quality over other speakers on the market and will provide a storming sound performance for a speaker of this size. Now with a 165% increase in the sound chamber size compared to the original “Thunder” speaker, the “Tornado Twin Long” has more air pumping space for each speaker to pump air rated at 69mm³ per speaker to dramatically increase the level of sound output.
This twin speaker format is designed to be wired in parallel to provide 4-ohm impedance perfect for ESU LokSound and Zimo* decoders. It can be wired in series to provide 16 ohms, allowing it to be used with most brands of sound decoders.
