Re: [Harp-L] harmonica microphone cables - impedance matching

Depends on how the Shure mic is wired (& which specific mic it is), later Shure bullets are typically wired Hi-z (no need for an additional transformer, as there is one on the element, but with a lo-Z capability. What does it sound like? Does it sound like it "works" :-)
 
Impedence problems are usually fairly self evident, like very low signal level, no "cut"/front to the note.

Hi all, 

How much of a 'sin' is it to plug in a Shure blues blaster mic to a Music Man tube amp without using an impedance matching transformer (I realize it wouldn't really be considered a sin as much as it could possibly be considered poor practice). :-) 

Thanks,
