Help with Impedance


Hello folks,

I have an amp with an input impedance of 50k ohms and looking at a pre-amp with an output impedance of 600 ohms. Will this work well without any roll offs?

thanks

10 to 1 ratio is a minimum. You are in good shape. The problem with high impedances is that the signals carry very little current and you are more susceptible to ground loops. Imbalances with respect to ground become critical. A twisted pair of wires (no shield) may be your best RCA interconnect option. Preferably fully balanced XLR should be used.
