Lo and Hi Impedance Mics ????

[GlowPlug]

I know that this is a brain dead question. But, Can someone delicately explain the difference between a low and hi impedance microphone,

And does it matter what type of microphone cable I use, and where on the mixer I plug the mics into???

and can I use XLR ---> XLR microphone cables with either type of microphone?

Most mics these days will be low impedance anyway. Usually around 200 ohms or less. High impedance is around 500 ohms or more. Give or take. More or less.

I'd stick with XLR stuff if possible.

Why are you asking?
