Students can listen to the played exercises via headphones. The piano teacher can plug in a second headphone and listen to his student at any time.

Combine with a player system

The best features of adsilent 2

Silent-System available for installation in upright and grand pianos
As an option adsilent for upright pianos is now also available with our very robust steel mute rail. This mute rail is a bit more costly and requires more installation time but it enables the installation of silent technology in some pianos that could not be installed without it. In addition, it offers the ambitious pianist the opportunity to keep the change in the regulation of the piano action as small as possible.
Next Generation Let-Off Expansion System (= LES system). adsilent is optionally available for acoustic grand pianos with LES system. This additional system adapts the mechanical regulation for use with the mute rail, only when the mute rail is activated. In normal operation, your grand piano remains completely unchanged - as if it had no silent system.
Control panel ergonomically designed, control buttons face the user when the control panel is pulled out sideways and are located at the top.
