Sense Innovations ESS-DUAL+ Real Engine Sound Simulator

REALISTIC DUAL-SPEAKER SOUND SYSTEM WITH DNS/DCR ALGORITHM AND 4 VEHICLE MOUNTS

The ESS-DUAL+ by Sense Innovations relies on an innovative dual-speaker design featuring dual opposed drivers. This configuration ensures balanced sound projection, precise acoustic localization within the model, and noticeably enhanced audio quality. Utilizing advanced DNS/DCR algorithms, the system dynamically calculates engine noise in real time based on throttle position, rate of throttle movement, and simulated engine speed—delivering authentic acoustics far beyond simple proportional throttle response.

Versatile Sound Tuning, Dual-Sound Switching, and Vehicle-Specific Mounts

The ESS-DUAL+ allows users to store two complete engine sound profiles including customized braking, turbo, and tuning parameters, which can be toggled instantly at the press of a button. An available AUX/third channel on the transmitter enables independent triggering of special effects like horns or warning alarms.

For fast and modification-free installation, four custom-molded vehicle mounts are included for popular RC platforms (Axial SCX10, Axial SCX10 II, Axial Wraith, and Traxxas TRX-4). Through the Sense Innovations RC Plus PC software, users can adjust functional parameters, download sounds from the online store, and flash permanent firmware updates. The integrated amplifier provides up to 30 W of total output power and includes built-in protection against short circuits, overloads, and overheating.
