Hi-Z vs. Lo-Z – Impedance, DI Boxes, Preamps, and Mic Level v. Line Level

What is Hi-Z vs. Lo-Z?  What do people mean when they talk about “Mic Level”, “Line Level”, and “Impedance”? First, let’s look at Mic Level sources.  These are considered to be either at Hi-Z or Lo-Z : Hi-Z – High Impedance, High Voltage, Low Current Keywords : Guitars, Basses, Instruments; Short Cable Runs, Better Sustain, More Interference. Most of us will come to associate Hi-Z impedance equipment with things like guitars, basses, and 1/4” connector plugs.  Inside of a Hi-Z cable, there are only two conductors: a “positive” and a ground.   Since there is no negative cable (such as in a Lo-Z cable) to balance the positive cable, both capacitance and reactance suffer with increasingly longer cables.  In layman’s terms, this means your sound loses quality and gets noisier once your cable exceeds roughly 15’ – 20’.  (Ever wonder why it’s hard to find guitar cables longer than 20’?  Now you know why!) Fun Fact : Vacuum tube circuits have na...

Marshall 1960A 4x12 Guitar Cab Mic Placement / Positioning

How should you mic up your 1960A rig at your next show or recording project? The short answer: Experiment with many different mics, mic positions, and even mic preamps before settling on a "best" sound.  There is really no "right" answer since music is so subjective, and there may be multiple solutions for different situations.  Make sure you know what speaker sounds best in your cab, and make sure you know where an SM57 sounds best, too, since that's what the average sound tech is going to throw on there. The long answer: Most of us know that placing mics in various positions around a speaker cabinet will yield different sounds.  Part of this has to do with each speaker sounding a little different (even if they're the same make and model), mic height from the ground producing various colorations due to differences in reflection time, and what kind of room you are in.  In particular, though, there are three (3) main placement factors that will affect ...

Fostex 3070 Compressor/Limiter Review

One of my close buddies picked up a Fostex 3070 Compressor/Limiter today for $50.00 off of a Craigslist deal and promptly handed it over to me for inspection and testing.  To be honest, my experience with analog compressors is fairly limited; I have used EL Distressors in the past but beyond that, my knowledge is quite limited.  I know what "should" work in theory and what settings might be good for certain genres of music, but I really had no idea what to expect here. After a cursory inspection of the unit, which revealed it was manufactured in 1982, I read the manual ( available online here ) cover to cover.  I realized a few things right off the bat -- this is a VCA stereo compressor, it comes with an included noise gate, and side-chaining is completely possible.  The rest of the manual is surprisingly helpful... there's really no fluff here like with most modern manuals that are filled with useless garbage. The next step was to grab a few TRS patch cables a...
