Impedance Matching Help!

[josiah7]

Could someone please give me a newbie a little advise?

I have several audio devices I want to chain together. I have read where the output (source) impedence should always be ~10 times lower than the input of the next device. I am still not sure if I need to use impedance match transformers somewhere or if I am ok.

Here are the impedances of each device in the chain I want to create, the values in "(, )", are input and output impedances of the devices;

1k --> (22k, 100) --> (1M, 600) --> (22k, 100) --> 2.2M

Will this work ok or should I use some impedance match transformers like is commonly used for a microphone? What sizes?

Thanks for any help or advise, I appreciate it!

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, I always thought you needed to MATCH impedances?

You should post the units that are in that chain as well.

You should post the units that are in that chain as well.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. All units are in Ohms;

device #1 (1000 ohms output) into -->
device #2 (22,000 ohms input, 100 ohms output) into -->
device #3 (1MegaOhm input, 600 ohms output) into -->
device #4 (22,000 ohms input, 100 ohms output) into -->
device #5 (2.2 MegaOhms input)

Anyone?

I'm not sure about the ohmage.... but I can tell you a more confident answer if you name the units say like a rode tube microphone into a golden age preamp into a RNC compressor into a analog/digital converter....

You know what I mean ?
