Re: Fw: Enquiry/Shaker Dynamic mic

[Veli-Pekka Haanmäki <vphaanmaki@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your reply,Ron.

So you think there is a difference in sound between the jack and the XLR
models?

I have a high-impedance XLR/jack 3 pin hot cord which I use on CAD and
BluesBlaster mics but I'm not sure if it would work with the Shaker Dynamic
mic?

I don't really understand why the Shaker Dynamic is described as "can be
used either High-Z or Low-Z",I don't think there is a switch on the Dynamic
that one can choose between High-Z or Low-Z?

I have to mailorder and need to know all the facts so I get my order
right...

Thanks again!
