I recently began using a Fireball-V mic. This is a low impedance mic (150
ohms). It has been suggested that I us an impedance transformer which I
understand will boost the signal through the entire range of the mic. I've
played at three jams with the mic and have received comments that the sound was
a tinny. My amp is a 60 watt all tube, Pignose G60VR, upgraded with a Weber
California 4 ohm speaker. With a JT-30 or even a Shaker Dynamic mic the sound range is much more full.
Before I purchase a transformer, can anyone enlighten me on exactly what I
can expect it to do in terms of what changes I will hear in the sound/tone? I
hope that I will hear a noticeable increase in the lower frequencies that are
part of the full resonance of any harp in any key. That's based on my limited
knowledge of the physics of sound.
