    It sounds as if you have broader experience than I, but I think I've seen that, too, some lower-impedance mics with 1/4" plugs on the cables. I was thinking more of electric guitars (and basses), which are decidedly high impedance. Does DB mean direct box? Another thing I've found that may not...

What I found to be peculiar is that although it has a 1/4" output the signal is actually low impedance. And it's not a tip-ring-sleeve setup (I tested for that), so I made a special cable with male...
