Hi, If I measure the DC resistance of a hi-fi speaker with an impedance of 8 ohms, it comes out at approx. 8 ohms. But when I measure the DC resistance of a dynamic microphone with a stated impedance of 50k ohms, it comes out as only 1500 ohms. Another dynamic mic with a stated impedance of 400 ohms reads only 1.1 ohms DC resistance. Why do mics DC resistance seem to measure differently from speakers?
microphone impedance vs. speaker impedance

You just making stuff up ? Or was there a on/off switch stuck in the off position. BTW: Quoting mysterious ( with no details ) examples only you know about is fucking stupid. .... Phil

PhilI'm most awfully sorry. The hi-z mic I referred to is the factory supplied one from a Yaesu shortwave transciever and the low-z one is a Uher (once used typically by news organisations' reporters with their Uher portable tape recorders)

I'll have to add a sig line to my posts, it seems: "Persons suffering from a disorder on the autistic spectrum need not respond."

You are expecting information about the internal details specific model mics and cannot identify them.> I'll have to add a sig line to my posts,** Yeah, add: " The Trolling fool" . FFS - YOU have the two oddball mics !!! OPEN the damn things a take a look. Bet you will find a transformer in the first and an inductor in the other. ... Phil

PhilLooking through your posting history here and elsewhere indicates a strong likelihood of antisocial personality disorder coupled with Asperger's syndrome co-morbidity. To put it simply in layman's language, you're an asshole - and likely to remain one throughout your life. HTH.
