Genesis SD70MAC Sound decoder Recommendations?
Posted by railfan4life on Wednesday, July 14, 2010 5:39 PM

 All,

I have recently purchased three Genesis BN SD70MACs from Athrean's latest run.  I would like to put sound decoders in these, and I wondering if anyone had any recommendations on which decoder to use.  I haven't installed a sound decoder in HO before.  Any advice or lessons learned anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Tsunami's are great. I would recommend the TSU-GN1000 EMD 710 per their decoder selector.

I installed a QSI Revolution A in mine.  It was straightforward and sounds great.

Both choices are equally good.  I've used the Tsunami's in my SD70Ace's and my SD60i and love them.  My Atlas Golds are QSI based and are great runners.  I would suggest either one.
