For private practice, anytime, anywhere!

The Yamaha SB79 Silent Brass Trumpet Mute System lets you play as loud as you want without disturbing others. Aux in allows you to play along with CD or MP3 recordings. Echo-enhanced sound mode creates large-room ambience. Volume and input lo/hi controls. Basic system includes Silent Brass module, pickup mute, locking cable, belt 
loop/strap, button earphones, and 9V battery. NOTE: This unit is being replaced by the SB79C that includes an additional patch cord to connect a CD or MP3 player to the Silent Brass System. 
 

Smaller, lighter and more portable 
The redesigned Silent Brass module is smaller than a cassette tape and weighs about as much. It fits easily into a shirt pocket and can be attached to the player's belt, if desired. This makes the new Silent Brass system much more portable and convenient. 
 

Improved sound 
The sound from this next generation system has been greatly improved over the previous generation. Hiss has been greatly reduced, allowing the player to hear more of himself and less noise. 
 

Simplified controls and sleeker look 
The new module has only a volume knob and an echo switch, eliminating the unneeded extra features and making it even more affordable. 
 

Aux In jack 
This jack allows an external sound source to be combined with the signal coming from the mute or microphone. The player can then play along with their favorite song in practice and performance settings and put the fun back in their practice sessions. 
 

Input jack 
The input jack allows a quick and easy connection to a Yamaha pickup mute for practice or to a Yamaha MC-7 instrument mic for performance. 

 

Output/phones jack 
The output/phones jack allows the Yamaha Silent Brass system to be connected to the included earphones for private practice, an external sound system for sound reproduction, or to a recording system for recording.

Brass instruments can be loud, but Yamaha devised a way for horn players to 
practice while listening to hi-fidelity sound that is only audible to 
the performer. The innovative, award-winning SILENT Brass systems 
provide musicians with the ultimate practice tool, ideal for use in any 
silent practice or warm-up situation.

The popular SILENT Brass systems have evolved through innovative advances 
in sound technology and construction. The systems offer a more 
comfortable and realistic experience than ever before. The smaller, 
lightweight design of the new pickup mute offers outstanding sound 
reduction and provides a natural playing feel, stable pitch and overall 
retention of the instrument's basic playing characteristics.
 

The mute features Brass Resonance Modeling™, a leading-edge technology that
delivers superior and realistic brass instrument sound. Another system 
component, the compact Personal Studio™ unit, includes a headphone jack 
and allows for easy attachment of an external audio player in order to 
practice with prerecorded material. SILENT Brass systems can also 
enhance recordings and provide live sound reinforcement.
