Re: [Harp-L] older shure hi-z vocal mics

[Greg Heumann <greg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul, most Shure mics have a transformer inside whether they're hi or  
low impedance. Some, like most 545's, have a dual impedance  
transformer meaning you can choose low- or hi-Z output - note  that  
the transformer is used in both cases. Hi-Z-only mics like the PE54  
variant of the 545 still had a transformer inside. The output of the  
elements in Shure stick mics is almost never "straight through" to the  
pins.
