The DI is 1/4" input, XLR low-impedance, balanced output. I go from that into a high-impedance XLR input on the snake. The other end of the snake (in the sound booth) has a low-impedance output, and is plugged in via 1/4" connector to a high-impedance input on the mixer.Originally Posted by guitardan777
From what I've read, this is not actually "impedance matching", but rather a "bridged connection". Impedance matching involves having the same impedance values for both source and load, which results in maximum power/current transfer, but minimal (virtually zero if my estimates are correct) voltage transfer. In the age of line level and reamplification, pretty much everything is bridged.
I could be wrong on that second paragraph, but what I've read and my current understanding leads me to that conclusion.
