Feeders

There are a lot of possibilities to feed the distributor: 

1. A stationary sound decoder (under the layout). This could be profitable for modellers who have already such a decoder and the necessary DCC controller. The d.c. frrom the decoder is connected to the track and the sound signal feeds the Distributor.

(Warning: the bare sound signal from a decoder can damage amps. Never feed the sound signal of a decoder into any amplifier without the use of an appropriate filter).

2. DCC control of the loco + the above. A normal decoder in the loco and a stationary sound decoder work simultaneous at the DCC system. The soundsignal is fed into the Divider.

3. A loose soundboard from an onboard system and a controller. Many soundboards can be simply connected to a controller to form a stationary sound system. Switches on a control panel serve the extra functions like whistle/horn and other sounds.  

4. An OSSYNTHS feeder. This is the above combination but optimized. It contains an advanced pulse controller and a sound generator. The two are switched together for optimal cooperation. 

An OSSYNTHS feeder for steam sound has also an advanced circuit for synchronizing the exhaust with the revolutions of the drive wheels without the help of a sync cam.  

5. An already existing carrier soundsystem of any brand can also be adapted to feed a Distributor.
