YAMAHA SILENT BRASS
SB1J TENOR/BASS TROMBONE

Combine the new STJ Personal Studio with the PM1X Mute, then add the SB1J Silent Brass System for Tuba

This next-generation Silent Brass system adds another level to playing enjoyment anytime, anywhere.

There were three major upgrades to the unit. The first two are associated with what Yamaha calls Brass Resonance Modeling Version 2.0.

1. Greater control over reverb. Yamaha has brought back one of the original features found in the first Silent Brass SB7 module, reverb. You can now once again hear yourself as if you were in a large hall or just in a room.
   perform
2. You now have the ability to hear in your ears what the audience is hearing instead of just from your vantage point. When you perform and practice you hear yourself from the mouthpiece side of the instrument. Now when you play you can image yourself sitting out in the audience listen to your performance. Very interesting concept and approach for a practice mute!
   
   
3. You can record the music directly from your Silent Brass mute. With the provided micro-USB type-B to USB A cable you can connect directly to a desktop or laptop computer and record your performance! With an adapter (not provided) you can also connect directly to your phone or tablet.

Yamaha has a free app named Rec'n'Share - available for Apple and Android. With this app you can record video/sound of your performance as you play along. You can easily share that recording over the internet and social media. You can also analyze and change the original tempo and add click sound to the song for ease in practicing. You can use the AB repeat function to playback a specific range of the song.
The first video below will give you a full demonstration of these new features.  

You can also use the STJ Personal Studio with your old styled Silent Brass mutes.

1. Cancel the distinctive mute sound

Sound detected by the microphone at the end of the pickup mute is digitally processed to cancel out the sound of the muted instrument.

2. Add the instrument?s natural sound

The natural sound that is produced by the unmuted bell is recreated for the player to hear, emulating the sound an audience hears when an instrument is played on stage.

3. Adjust left-right balance to match the player?s position

The timing, volume, and tone of the sound reaching the player?s left and right ears are individually adjusted, and reverb is added as needed to accurately simulate the feel of playing in a room or hall.

Aux In Jack

This jack allows an external sound source to be combined with the signal coming from the mute, such as an MP3 player, Tablet, Cell phone or CD Player. You can then play along with your favorite song in practice and performance settings, putting the fun back in your practice sessions.

Specially Designed Mini Microphone - The new SILENT Brass Pickup Mute combines a high-performance mute with an internal microphone to capture your sound. The surrounding mute design were all optimized to bring out the full potential of Brass Resonance Modeling.

Disassembles to Compact Size - The disassembled mute body halves can be stacked for compact storage, and may even allow the mute to be stored inside the tuba bell while inside its case or gig bag!*

* Note: Yamaha tubas will not fit in the original equipment hard case with the tuba mute installed. However, the instrument may fit in other cases or gig bags from some manufacturers with the mute installed. Please confirm the fit independently. Do not stand the instrument on its bell when the mute is installed.

Adjustable Pitch and Playing Feel - An adjustable rod allows the position of the mute head to be raised or lowered inside the bell while playing. This gives you the ability to customize the feel and the pitch to find the perfect fit for your own instrument and playing style. In addition, this allows the mute to be adjusted for a wide range of bell sizes, making the same tuba mute usable with with Bb, C, Eb, and F horns.
