Re: Microphone Output Impedance

I have uploaded the file Microphone impedance test jig, which uses the signal injection model (IMO a less brutal method than the added load method).
You calibrate the unit by making R1 and R2=zero (you could use a switch for that), then you measure with the resistors in circuit. When the reading at the preamp output drops by 6dB, R1+R2=microphone impedance.
With this method you're not limited in terms of frequency (microphone impedance often vary very much over the 20-20k range).

Thanks you for your reply, Jerry,

A DI Box is not referring to any commercial product. I was simply talking about a device I made by connecting XLR connectors on both ends and attaching a variable resistor between pins 2 and 3. Haha LOL.As for the audio analyzer, I plan to use the FX100 device from NTi Audio.
In the past, I have used the MR-PRO. Using two XLR (Female) to XLR (Male) cables, I connected the MR-PRO to a mixer and a microphone, supplying phantom power from the mixer for measurements. However, at that time, I noticed that the impedance values varied quite significantly.For now, I’ll try the -6dB method and share the results with you. Hahaha.
