The kato soundbox speaker is not very good, I use a good quality speaker mounted centrally on a 5'x2' layout. And run a mini jack lead from the line out. On the new layout which is 9' x 2' I am using a Bose set up with a mid top at each end and a bass bin in the middle

Just wanted to chime back in after further testing. The kato sound box works extremely well with the rokuhan controllers and azl locos. Momemtum works well on a clean track and the sound definetly adds another level of enjoyment to operating if just “rail fanning” or especially doing switching work! Swap a few connectors and you are good to go

Hello friends,
I recieved my Soundbox yesterday and love the sound already. As soon as I got this box running properly, I am planning to replace the built-in speaker by a aspeaker of more quality that I can connect to the line-out jack and place it somewehre on the layout.
But I am still curious about the correct connection of the soundbox to my Z scale powerpack (Märklin and Rokuhan).As the Soundbox came from Japan without this big blue "DC Converter" (#24-842), I connected the box to a 12V 1A DC wall adapter. So far, so good. When connecting both plugs - track and "jump-plug", the sound will work as I toggle my controller, but the loco on the track won't move anymore. If I disconnect just the track plug and wire the track directly to my controller, the engine will move again. Something seems to happen to the track currentinside the Soundbox.
How did you wire yours? Any hints?
Cheers from Germany,
Lutz
