This complete system includes the PM7X practice mute, the STX receiver unit, earbuds, a cable to connect the mute to the receiver, and an additional cable to connect an external music device so you can play along with your favorite songs or "minus-one" tracks. Please note: Yamaha discontinued the SB7XC in 2016 and replaced it with the SB7X-2.

The mute fits my Yamaha trumpet just right. I saw reviews that Yamaha lists different stock numbers for this system for distribution purposes but the product is the same and I agree. I bought from this listing because it was $30 less than the other listing.The mute by itself is an excellent practice mute but I don't use it for that purpose because I don't want to carry it around. I hook it up to the system with my one one piece ear buds. The Yamaha buds don't stay in my ears well.The trumpet sound is realistic and makes practice more fun. Additionally, I can hook up my phone or another device and pipe music that I can play along with. The amazing trumpeter, Andrea Giuffredi has "play along" music on YouTube with the trumpet score on the screen. With the hookup I described, I think it is possible to play along with him!

While not quite the epitome of what it could possibly someday be, this is an excellent product that provides great value. Having used this for over 3 years so far, if it failed tomorrow, I would get another right away and feel like I got great value.Cons: * Cords require attention and management when using; * Requires extra air pressure to play, similar to most any quiet practice mute; * Like any practice mute, interferes with trumpet's natural resonance, making it more dependent on embouchure for correct pitch.Neutral: * Ear buds are of modest quality but work fine. (I mostly use over the ear, open air headphones)Pros: * Quiet. People can watch TV in same room, and can sleep in the next room * Full trumpet sound. Much better practice experience than just practice mute alone * Extra air pressure required might help to develop lungs * Extra practice controlling pitch with embouchure makes for better embouchureNote on Bluetooth vs cords:It is easy and not very expensive to use bluetooth headphones, and wireless connection for the mute using readily available bluetooth transmitter/receivers. I have tried with this headphones. It works fine, but I prefer to put up with managing the cords. Bluetooth delays the sound somewhat, and while we mostly accept such delays (e.g. with mobile phones & IP phones vs traditional (POTS) land lines), I prefer the more instantaneous responsiveness using the cords. I imaging that perhaps the signal processing in the silent brass system itself introduces a small delay, and each packet based (bluetooth) radio added to the path adds that much more.

Eccellente. Silenzia completamente per suonare anche nelle ore più impensabili in ogni luogo. L'emissione è come una sordina normale quindi non è come l'emissione d'aria naturale ma risolve il problema del poter suonare in qualsiasi ambiente a qualsiasi ora del giorno senza farsi notare e interferire con la quiete altrui.

This is a life saver if you live in an apartment with thin walls. Your neighbors will be much happier. It works great with earbuds/headphones. I did not find much difference in the resistance compared to playing without a mute, which is great. You can also connect an auxiliary cord to it and play along to a song, so you can hear yourself and the song without disturbing neighbors. Having this has allowed me to practice a lot more than I would have been able to practice without it (later at night for example). If you turn a fan or TV on while using it, they mask any low volume sounds still coming from your trumpet.

I love this mute system. It's genial to have combined the silence of the mute and the music processor so we can hear a good trumpet sound during practice.

I am completely ecstatic about having my third generation Silent Brass system. I read a series of reviews before purchasing this system and was hesitant because there didn't seem to be a consensus as to whether or not this was a good product. Let me settle this argument NOW!!!! This is a superior product in every aspect of the design. I've owned the other two generations made by Yamaha and found that they were convenient, however, serious flaws prevented using the system on a regular basis. (1) The previous systems were very frustrating in that the mute would slowly work its way out of the bell. (2) The other systems cause severe back-pressure and thus gave an unnatural playing experience. (3) The sound quality was only a good substitute and definitely not realistic. The new SB7Xc has resolved all of these issues. The sound and playing experience are completely natural. The first time I played, I actually thought I did not have the mute in the bell! It is that realistic. I do not doubt some reviewers testimony that state that some of the notes are flat, however, making the appropriate adjustments on the tuning slides solve this problem. The ONLY experience that is better than this system is to not have to insert a mute at all and play naturally. But as we ll know, this is impractical if you live with others or confined spaces such as a hotel or apartment. I highly recommend this unit for all practice occasions.

Ich muss sagen, ich war eingangs skeptisch, ob der Funktionalität des Geräts und ob es meine Erwartungen erfüllen würde:Nun, nach Erhalt und den ersten Testläufen kann ich sagen, es hat sie sogar übertroffen.Die Lautstärke wird mehr als nötig gedämpft, sodass man den Ton noch leise vernehmen kann, aber sicher nicht ausserhalb des gleichen Zimmers.Auch die Übertragung von Mikro auf die Kopfhörer funktioniert sehr gut. Es hallt zwar ein klein wenig, aber man hört dennoch ob man die Töne trifft ;) Handhabung ist ausserordentlich einfach.Bis dato bin ich rundum zufrieden und kann allen Übungsmotivierten, die bisher nur von der Tageszeit bzw. Rücksicht auf Mitmenschen daran gehinder warten, zu diesem Gerät raten.

I've been hearing rave reviews about this ever since it came out and I was very excited to buy one. After trying it for a couple days, my impression is that it's "pretty good."Pros:- very quite externally. It's more quiet than my favorite practice mute.- lightweight and extremely portable, given that the mute part fits in the bell and doesn't protrude.- very handy, in that it also has another auxiliary jack that can plug into devices for mp3 listening.Cons:- OUT OF TUNE. Like, REALLY out of tune. Below a middle G (on trumpet) it starts going sharp, and by low G it's about a half-step sharp (threw me off the first time I played it; thought I was transposing wrong). When you get above high G, it starts going flat. So when I do an arpeggio from low G to high G, I essentially change key by more than a half-step. :-- Doesn't sound as good in the headphones as it does once recorded, since the reverberation in your head (with the nasal wah-wah sort of sound) mostly covers up the great sound of the system. You end up having to crank the volume to hear mostly the system.Overall impression: I will definitely use this. It's very handy, but it's not as godly as they made me think it would be. The pitch issues are a pain.
