Model number: br-qooMute_tp
Color: Midnight (Gray)
World's first silencer capsule mechanism. Switch between 3 types of capsules to practice with a noise reduction level that suits your environment.
A capsule can be attached to the attachment on the bottom of the mute. Like a single-lens reflex camera lens, QooMute changes into a practice mute that fits your practice environment.
Sound-reduction capsule
This capsule offers high noise reduction, quieting playing down to about the level of human conversation. Resistance when playing is fairly strong, but the sound is reduced enough that someone in the next room will not hear it unless they are listening closely.
Sound reduction: 5/5
Blowing feel: 3/5
Pitch: 4/5
Tone: 3/5
Blowing-feel capsule
This capsule is designed to reduce resistance when playing. Its noise reduction is more modest, but the blowing feel is close to playing without a mute. It is well suited to midday practice when you do not need to worry about neighbors.
Sound reduction: 3/5
Blowing feel: 5/5
Pitch: 4/5
Tone: 3/5
Tone-focused capsule
A sponge is packed inside the capsule. It is designed to minimize changes in tone across the full range. It also has moderate resistance, which makes low-register playing easier.
Sound reduction: 4/5
Blowing feel: 4/5
Pitch: 3/5
Tone: 5/5
About the capsule parameters
- Sound reduction: how much the volume can be reduced
- Blowing feel: how close the feel of blowing is to playing without the mute, and the resistance when playing
- Pitch: the intonation between each overtone (how close the pitch spacing is to playing without the mute), and how easy it is to find the sweet spot
- Tone: no unevenness in resonance, little breath or noise sound, and how close the tone is to the instrument's natural sound
Reference volume levels
No mute (open): 78 to 105 dB
Sound-reduction capsule: 49 to 73 dB
Blowing-feel capsule: 53 to 81 dB
Tone-focused capsule: 50 to 77 dB
Measured at 1.5 m from the instrument.
Measurements are taken during actual playing, so volume varies.
Measured values change with distance and environment, so these are reference values only.
