the end of unreality
hello!
my two neve clones have switchable mic impedance. Sure its only 2 settings, but better than no choice at all
what i am wondering, is what to use for my mics?
it is switchable between 1200 and 300 ohms(?)
....
my mics are:
Electrovoice RE20
audix i5
shure sm57
shure beta 52
Studio Projects C1/LSD2
MXL 2003/603s
Nady SCM900
Sm7b (soon)
Fathead II Ribbons
is this normally in some manual? or is there a rule, like, dynamics get lower impedance, condensors higher?
so for instance, it says here:
http://www.gbaudio.co.uk/data/re20.htm
Impedance: 50, 150 and 250 ohms
"The RE20 is supplied wired for 150 ohms impedance. "
that would seem to imply lower impedance is better in this case, no?
same thing with the i5:
"Output Impedance: 150 Ohms "
