YAMAHA SILENT BRASS
PM5X TROMBONE MUTE (ONLY)

ST9

Total compatibility of these systems.

Next came the ST9 & ST5 Modules
that utilized the same Mutes.

The ST7, ST5 & ST9 are all compatible with
all of the PM1-PM9 Mutes.

Yamaha has now produced the next generation system for Silent Brass using a new technology called
Brass Resonance Modeling™.

The system consist of the STX module (left) and the PM3X-PM7X Mutes (right)

To properly make the Brass Resonance Modeling™ work, it must use the new STX module with any of the new following mutes:
PM3X - PM7X.

You can use the new PM1X and PM2X mutes with the STX module, however, the sound is not as full as with the new STX-2 module.

The (PM3X - PM7X) Mutes can still work with the old modules (ST7, ST5, ST9), BUT you will not get full effect of
Brass Resonance Modeling™ technology.

Technically, you do not have to upgrade and buy the new system if you are just wanting to add one of these new mute (pictured to the right) to use with your old module.
(Yamaha no longer makes the
PM1- PM9 Mutes.)

Currently, Yamaha is not selling the STX module separately from the mutes.

You WILL NOT be able to use your old
PM1 - PM9 mutes with this STX module.

Yamaha has now produced an updated module called, STX-2.

All mutes (pictured to the right) our fully compatible with the new STX-2 module.

This new module was needed when the new Tuba and Euphonium system were created.

To properly make the Brass Resonance Modeling™ work, it must use the new STX-2 module with any of the new
PM1X - PM7X Mutes.

The PM3X - PM7X Mutes can still work with the old modules (ST7, ST5, ST9), BUT you will not get full effect of
Brass Resonance Modeling™ technology.

When using the new PM1X & PM2X with the old modules (ST7, ST5, ST9) you will find that the sound is there, but a there is lot of buzz. You'll have to turn the volume way down to make it even remotely usable.

Currently, Yamaha is now selling the STX-2 module separately from the mutes.

You WILL NOT be able to use your old
PM1 - PM9 mutes with the new STX-2 module.

The Pickup Mute™ combines a high-performance mute with an internal
microphone to pickup sound.

Significantly smaller than previous versions, this mute offers superior muting performance,
delivers excellent intonation over a wide pitch range, and natural playability.

New mutes are designed to attach and remove smoothly and easily.

A new compact design now lets you put your instrument in its case with the mute in the bell.

Significantly Lighter - So light you’ll forget it's in your horn, these new mutes offer better instrument
balance when in the bell and greatly reduce stress when playing.

Specially Designed Mini Microphone - Its mounting position, and the surrounding mute design were all optimized to bring out the full potential of Brass Resonance Modeling.
