====================================

I've had a number of mics in the 545 family and have found that, for running 
them INTO AN AMP, no impedance converter will sound as good as just 
re-wiring the mic to be hi-z (these mics are convertible). Still, for 
someone like Steve who also uses his 545 into the PA, keeping it lo-z and 
using a converter when blowing into an amp is a good option. Go with a good 
Shure converter - I upgraded to a Shure from some old crappy one I bought 
years ago at Mars Music and was really impressed by the difference.
