[Harp-L] Questions about Impendance Matching Trasformer

["John F. Potts" <hvyj@xxxxxxx>]

Alberto,

	The Radio Shack transformer will work just fine.  To make a low  
impedance mic sound the way it is supposed to sound you absolutely  
need to use an impedance matching transformer if you are going into  
an electric guitar amp. There's a brief discussion of impedance  
matching transformers in the post on September 13, 2008 titled  
"XLR>1/4 inch IMT"  which may be of interest to you.

I have a low impendance mic that I use with a simple guitar amp. The  
amp has those three knobs that control the different levels.  
Generally, I have the high tones turned down low and the low tones  
turned up. Do you recommend I use one of those transformers?

Also, I've seen low impendance to high impendance adapters at Radio  
Shack.
Are these what you are talking about, or are these specifically for the
connection?
