UA-5 hi-z or lo-z???
« on: May 11, 2011, 01:56:09 AM »
So I just got the UA-5, and I was wondering what is the hi-z/ lo-z function on it. It is right by the XLR inputs and a line goes to it with it giving you the option of picking either one....

Do you use a lot mics with 1/4 cable? Most common is XLR which will stated would not be affected by the switch.
