You want to play when and as you like, without being confined to time or place? Yamaha’s next generation SILENT Brass makes it happen. The SILENT Brass consists of a smaller, lighter, freer blowing Pickup Mute, and the Personal Studio, which features Yamaha’s exclusive Brass Resonance Modeling™. Used together, the two deliver the natural acoustic tone you hear when playing without a mute, making it feel as though you are playing mute free.
Pickup Mute
- Easy to attach and remove - The mutes are designed to attach and remove smoothly and easily.
- Fits neatly inside the bell - A new compact design now lets you put your instrument in its case with the mute in the bell.
- So light you’ll forget it’s in your horn. - These mutes offer better instrument balance when in the bell and greatly reduce stress when playing.
- Specially designed mini microphone - Microphone performance, it’s mounting position, and the surrounding mute design were all optimized to bring out the full potential of Brass Resonance Modeling
- Brass Resonance Modeling Ver 2.0
- Brass Resonance Modeling is original Yamaha technology that effectively cancels the characteristic closed sound of a mute, reproducing the open, natural sound of the unmuted instrument. This reduces stress on players by allowing them to practice and play freely without feeling restricted by the mute.
- Brass Resonance Modeling utilizes three simultaneous processes to produce the realistic tone of the brass instrument.
- Sound Mode
- Personal Studio STJ offers two sound modes. The “Player” (PLY) mode allows the player to hear the natural sound of the instrument, while the “Audience” (AUD) mode delivers natural sound to the listener. In the AUD mode the audience hears the sound of the instrument being played in front of them, making it ideal for recording or online lessons.
- Micro USB Connection
- When the Personal Studio STJ is connected to a computer or smart device via the supplied USB cable it becomes possible to record or take part in online lessons at home. No audio interface or complicated wiring is necessary. The Personal Studio STJ goes beyond being a personal practice tool, to a tool that lets the player connect with the world from home.
- An adapter is required for smartphone connection (sold separately).
- Rec'n'Share App
- Personal Studio STJ can be connected to the free Rec’n’Share app for smart devices from Yamaha, making it possible to play along with audio data stored on the device and capture the performance as a sound recording or movie that can be shared online. Rec’n’Share includes a function that can change the playback tempo of the original music, an AB repeat function that repeats playback of a specified A-B section, a function that can analyze and add an appropriate click track to the original music, and other features that make practice more productive and enjoyable.
- SB5J (For Trombone and Bass Trombone)
- An attachment that provides compatibility with bass trombones is included with the SB5J pickup mute, giving a broader range of trombone players access to the Yamaha SILENT Brass system.
