What is the Input Impedance of the ISA 828?

Line Input: 10kΩ

Inst Input: >1MΩ

Mic Input:
Pressing the Z In switch steps through each of the four transformer pre-amp input impedance values, as indicated by the corresponding LEDs. By selecting different values for the impedance of the ISA 828 transformer input, the performance of both the ISA 828 pre-amp and the microphone connected can be tailored to set the desired level and frequency response. The impedance values are as follows:

Low – 600Ω

ISA 110 – 1k4Ω

Med – 2k4Ω

High – 6k8Ω

A guide to setting input impedance is available in the Applications section of the ISA 828 Manual.

This setting changes the load seen by the microphone which has an effect on the sound of the signal. Check out the article 'Microphones, pre amps and impedance' by Focusrite's Rob Jones to find...

article Can I connect the AES input and output to the SPDIF input and output on my sound card?
In terms of data content there should be no problem connecting between AES and S/PDIF ports. The problem with connecting them arises from signal level issues. An AES signal amplitude is 5V...

article I can hear hum when using a dynamic mic with the TwinTrak Pro. It gets louder when I engage the 'air' switch. Is something wrong?
Unfortunately this is inevitable - dynamic mics can be good at inducing hum and the inductor circuit activated by the 'air' switch will only make it more audible. Setting the impedance to maximum...
