A Compact Evolution Designed for Yamaha's SILENT Brass Universe
With the Pickup Mute PM5X, Yamaha offers a mute that is lighter and more compact than previous generations, while improving attenuation performance and tuning stability. Its design is directly linked to the SILENT Brass ecosystem: the internal microphone and its positioning are optimized to exploit the potential of Brass Resonance Modeling technology, preserving the feel and tone of a trombone played at full volume, even at reduced levels.
Who It's For and Playing Contexts
This Yamaha mute is aimed at trombonists from beginner to professional level who want to practice longer, more often, and in more situations: apartments, dressing rooms, backstage, shared rehearsal rooms, or late-night practice. It suits classical repertoire (intonation and sound production work), jazz (attack precision and breath control), and brass band/pop (endurance and frequent rehearsals) thanks to a playing feel described as natural.
Sound and Design
The PM5X is designed to offer good homogeneity across all registers, with controlled intonation and smooth sound production, minimizing the usual compensations required with some mutes. Its compact design facilitates insertion into the bell and improves daily comfort: the mute positions and removes easily, and its size allows you to carry the instrument in its case without having to remove it each time. The specific mini microphone, integrated into the mute, captures sound as close to the source as possible for a usable signal during silent practice.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The PM5X is equipped with a mini jack connector and comes with a cable, so ensure you have compatible equipment with this type of connection to use the microphone signal. The included bass trombone adapter extends compatibility to bass trombones, in addition to tenor trombones.
