The higher the impedance input on the microphone, the better the low-end and mid-range frequencies are represented in the output signal. Shure recommends using preamps with impedance settings of 1000 Ohms or more, although different load impedances may be used for a desired sound quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"P1\"\u003eThis is a low-noise microphone. The combination of its efficient transducer, robust shielding, and custom transformer produces a low noise floor and output level equal to moving coil microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"P1\"\u003eShure ribbon microphones have an exceptionally smooth, natural response and perform best with preamps that provide simple, transparent gain.
