Revolution-U Sounds for the Athearn UP Turbines
Posted on 23. July 2009
The unique Athearn Turbine locomotives are now shipping. The Quantum Revolution-U is the ideal sound decoder option for this locomotive.
- The Revolution-U format make this an easy PnP installation.
- QSI is the only DC/DCC sound decoder to offer the Turbine sound files.
- Turbine Revolutions include one of the proper size 1.25" speakers. The loco has cut-outs for 2 speakers, recommended to do this. We also used one QSI 1.22" dia. HB speaker in place of one of the 1.25" units.
- The speakers should be wired in parallel as this will optimize the sounds.
- QSI decoders are the only decoders that support complete operations and programming functions in analog/DC.
