CD Quality Audio

WOWSound from TCS is the only true 16-bit CD-quality sound decoder in the world. CD-quality audio is defined as 16-bit resolution with a sample rate of 44,100 Hertz. If you're not an audio geek, what this means in simpler terms is that there is ZERO compression in the audio. The sounds being played by the decoder coming out of your locomotive are the same sounds and the same quality which came out of the real thing when we recorded it!

TCS is the only decoder in the world that uses CD-quality audio files on a sound decoder. TCS can do this because of the memory capacity of the WOWSound decoders which use SD cards to hold many Gigabytes of sound data.

Other manufacturers claim that they have "16 bit" sound decoders, but are referring to their microprocessor and not their audio file bit depth. It doesn't matter if you have a 16, 32, or 64 bit processor; if you don't have CD-quality audio files, the number of bits your processor has is meaningless!
