Today, the only option for brass players who want to elctrify their instrument is the Yamaha SB7X-2 Trumpet Silent Brass System . It's designed for quiet practice.
Mic-Only Workaround External bell microphones are unreliable, feedback-prone, and limit mobility
No XLR Output Cannot connect to standard amplifiers or PA systems directly
No Effects Chain Impossible to run through distortion pedals or signal processors
The core limitation: All brass instruments currently rely on a microphone placed at the bell for relaying analogue to digital signal. There is no integrated electronic pickup — until now!
The E-Mute fits into the bell of any brass instrument just like a conventional mute — but inside, patented circuitry captures the acoustic signal and converts it to a clean electronic output compatible with standard audio equipment and sound editing software.
Inventor Macrae Eckelberry is studying in Los Angeles pursuing his master's degree in Trumpet under respected trumpet masters.
Direct access to global top-tier music programs and emerging talent.
Immediate credibility and validation through trusted entertainment industry leaders.
A patented pending breakthrough that gives brass players what they've never had — a direct electronic signal path for amplification, effects, and wireless connectivity. Named for inventor trumpeter Macrae, the E-Mute transforms any brass instrument into an electrified powerhouse.
