These units are all
compatible with one other.

 

The first Yamaha Silent Brass system
that came out was the ST7

Next came the ST5 and the ST9 Modules.

 

All of the modules work with
the PM1 through PM9 Mutes.

With the introduction of the STX module came new technology called
Brass Resonance Modeling™.

New mutes were also created to work with this new technology, the PM3X through PM7X Mutes

These new mutes (PM3X - PM7X) 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

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

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.

STX-2

Yamaha has now produced an updated module: STX-2

All mutes (pictured to the right) are 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 there is lot of buzz. You'll have to turn the volume way down to make it even remotely usable.


The PM1 - PM9 mutes are not compatable with the STX-2 module.
