Members nobrainer440 Posted September 27, 2006 Members Share Posted September 27, 2006 Can someone point me to an article somewhere that explains exactly how input and output impedance work electronically, and why they need to be matched up correctly even if the voltage levels are the same? I understand the difference between low and high-impedance gear, and I know they are supposed to match up, or you have to convert them via direct and reamp boxes, etc, but I am an engineer and a nerd, so I want to know why it has to be that way. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nobrainer440 Posted September 27, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 27, 2006 Wow, I feel really dumb. I look up all kinds of things on wikipedia every day, and for some reason it never crossed my mind this time. Thanks Phil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
