Impedance matching.

[B.Flat]

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.

Try it, wont do any harm - does it sound OK ?

That's fine, as long as each output 'sees' a higher impedance at the next input, there should be no problem.

Yep, or as I remember it...

High into Low - No go,
Low into High - You'll fly.
