Description
The SoundTraxx 885624 Blunami BLU-PNP8 EMD-2 is a plug-and-play Bluetooth DCC sound decoder carrying SoundTraxx's EMD-2 diesel sound set — with 8 function outputs for full lighting effects. Like all Blunami decoders, it gives you two ways to run: wirelessly from a smartphone or tablet with the free Blunami app (no command station needed), or as a fully NMRA-compliant DCC sound decoder on any club or home layout.
The EMD-2 library covers additional EMD prime movers and sounds beyond the standard EMD set, letting you match the right sound to your specific locomotive. Tsunami2-quality 16-bit audio, a deep roster of horns and bells, and Hyperdrive2 motor control deliver realistic sound and silky slow-speed running.
Compatibility
- Plug-and-play (PNP) board format for locomotives that accept standard motherboard-style replacement decoders
- Controls via the Blunami app (iOS/Android), any NMRA DCC system, or DC
- For EMD-powered diesel locomotives (check the SoundTraxx sound listing for included prime movers)
How to Use
- Replace the factory board with the Blunami PNP board
- Verify speaker and light connections, then test
- Use the Blunami app to select prime mover, horn, bell, and lighting effects
