Atlas MP15DC sound
Posted by Harley-Davidson on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 12:12 PM

Anybody knows how to improve the sound of an HO Atlas MP15 DC? There is not place to put a baffle atop of the speaker, and the sound lacks bass...thanks

Im with David on the speaker location, and as for the loss of detail you can tint OR mirror the windows, either way keeping eyes out of the cab. Distraction is a cool divice also. If its always going to be on switcher duty, I have gone as far as mounting personel right next to what I DONT want people to see, its amazing.....hide in plain sight I always say!

Personally, I would have gotten the DC version and put in a Loksound decoder.  They are the only sound decoder MFG to have the appropriate sounds for the EMD Switchers.

I´ll second that! The LokSound EMD switcher sounds is lovely.

Here is a link to the website where you can listen to the various sounds:
