B.Flat Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hi. I am hoping someone out there can educate my addled brain on this subject of impedance matching. Basically I have a signal path through units as follows: Preamp output 10K ohms.....to.....Greater than 500K ohms effects input.......to........1K ohms effects output.......to......10K ohms power amp input. The question is, do I need to have matching transformers at any stage or can I just link it up as is ? Any help on this will be welcome, but not too technical please, "I look like a farmer but I [u]am[/u] a farmer", to mis-quote Bo DidIey.

JapanAxe Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 That's fine, as long as each output 'sees' a higher impedance at the next input, there should be no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
