Yamaha SB1J Tuba Silent Brass System

The Yamaha SB1J Silent Brass System for Tuba is a cutting-edge practice solution that allows tuba players to perform with full resonance in silence. This next-generation system combines a high-performance PM1X Pickup Mute with the STJ Personal Studio module, utilizing Yamaha's proprietary Brass Resonance Modeling™ 2.0 to digitally "open up" the sound. The result is a natural, unmuted acoustic experience delivered directly to your headphones, virtually eliminating the back pressure and "closed" tone typically associated with practice mutes.

• Brass Resonance Modeling™ 2.0: Proprietary digital technology that cancels the "muted" sound to reproduce a realistic, open tuba tone
• Player & Audience Sound Modes: Switch between hearing your instrument from your own perspective or as an audience member would hear it on stage
• Micro USB Connectivity: Connect directly to a computer or smart device for easy recording or online lessons without an external interface
• Adjustable Pitch & Feel: Features an internal adjustable rod to raise or lower the mute head for a customized fit and feel inside the bell
• Compact & Lightweight Design: Significantly smaller than previous models; the mute can be disassembled and stacked for storage or left inside the bell in many cases
• Integrated Reverb Control: Adjustable "Room" and "Hall" settings to simulate different acoustic environments
• Rec’n’Share App Compatibility: Connect to Yamaha’s free app to record performances or play along with audio tracks from your device
• Auxiliary Input: Allows you to plug in a smartphone or player to practice along with backing tracks or favorite songs
• Easy Attachment: Designed for smooth insertion and removal from the bell with minimal effort
• Low-Profile Personal Studio: A compact beltpack that powers the system using two AA batteries
