Greenhill Junction - TTS - Fitting I Phone Speaker - Video 41
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2025
- The final step of my TTS journey is to try out a different speaker and see if it does make a difference in the sound. The common theme appears to favour I-Phone speakers so I got myself some and in this video I show you how to chnage the speaker on a TTS chip.
Once it's done I then compare the sound between my two TTS fitted A4s, one with an I-Phone speaker and one with the stock Hornby speaker.
Hope you enjopy the video, leave any comments you have and please subscribe to keep up to date with the layout.

Very nice speaker upgrade
Thanks Simon. Easy and cheap to do too (under £15 for four speakers) so a worthwhile job to make the sound a bit better. Cheers, John.
Always happy to see another video by you, John! Definitely an improvement on the sound! Quality speakers certainly make a difference (I tend to avoid stuff with "i" in front. lol)
Hi Anthony. Got to admit I'm an Android operating system guy too but iPhone speakers seem to be the way to go in model railways so I buckled to peer pressure. 😂 Def made the sound crisper and clearer which is good for a cheap and easy modification. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, John.
Hi, I definitely heard a difference. Much clearer, crisper, and louder with the iPhone speaker. And definitely no hum. So yes, I believe it worth whole. Thanks for the comparison video. I hope you got your electrical gremlins sorted out. See ya.
Hi Norman. I'd agree that it's worth doing, although I've not bothered doing it to my other TTS loco yet, mainly due to lacking the motivation to do it yet. 😂 I don't know what happened to the loco in the video, it's ran fine since then so I've just left it be. Might've just been a bit of dirty track. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, John.
Great video John, thanks for the really instructive video. Always nerve wracking when you finally cut the cables :) I don't solder on camera either :) Great video, look forward to your next one. Subbed! Cheers :) I agree iPhone speakers are the way to go, sounds a lot better. I've done the same on mine. I was also surprised when mine worked!! Great vid.
Hi Aber Halt, thanks for watching, commenting and subbing. What's strange is, whilst I think the iPhone speaker is great on the A4, I just got a TTS fitted Cock O The North and it sounds brilliant with the stock speaker. 🤔 I'll run them side by side and maybe then I'll notice the difference. Glad you found the video useful, I'm always nervous with electric stuff cause I don't really know what I'm doing half the time! 😂😂 Cheers, John.
@@GreenhillJunction Yeah I know what you mean, I don't know what I'm doing 100% of the time :) As for the speakers yeah I know what you mean, I think the standard ones can be a bit hit and miss, I think it's just the reliability of the iPhone one, plus the ambient buzz seems to disappear...
Hi John and hope you are well. As well as fat fingers and dodgy eyes my ears are not that great either !!``But I agree the IPhone speaker did sound clearer. Most of my sound decoders are TTS and if I am sending locos off to Rob at Boomerang Junction for work then I get him to change the speakers .I have noticed an improvement on Class 66s. The class 50 sounds very good using the TTS speaker and the Class 40 I wouldnt bother either. Steam wise I have just put in the Merchant Navy into my West Country and it sounds ok too. I also wonder if the sound file has an impact also ? I had a change of speaker in a Battle of Britain and could not tell too much of a difference. I dont think I am sophisticated to become a speaker snob though...................Keep Safe ............Cheers Kev
Hi Kev. Sorry for the delay in replying, been enjoying my new found freedom this weekend and getting back out hill walking. I just did it as an experiment, tbh I've not bothered to fit the iPhone speaker to the other TTS loco yet. Wasn't expensive to do, think it was under £15 for 4 speakers. What's the sound file and can I access it? Cheers, John.
Hi John - Now the weather is getting better I am going further afield with our dog and its great to be able to get out and about .The sound file is what is loaded onto the decoder and you may see the debates on whose is better such as the Legoman biffo V Coastal DCC etc as i have said before good old TTS is good enough for me Haha .
Keep safe ..................Cheers Kev
@@medwaypeninsulaMR ah right. I think I saw that debate and didn't care. 😂😂😂
