No, it's not better for a microphone, but it's better for a long cable connection without treble loss. Scroll down to related links and look at "Cable Length, Cable Capacitance,

and Treble Loss".

What is the effect of transformer impedance on regulation?

The lower the impedance, the lower the voltage drop across the transformer as it is loaded. This means regulation is better, since voltage variance is smaller.


What is a tube microphone?

The tube or the FET transistor is used to build an impedance converter from the high impedance of the capacitor (condenser) of about 1 Giga ohms or more to the low impedance of the microphone output, which is less than 150 ohms.


What is the effect of low impedance transformer on regulation?

The lower the impedance, the lower the voltage drop across the transformer as it is loaded. This means regulation is better, since voltage variance is smaller.


Definition of low impedance medium impedance and high impedance?

For instance: A microphone rated at 150 ohms to 300 ohms is considered low impedance. About 600 to 2 000 ohms is medium impedance, and 10 000 ohms or more is high impedance.

What is the principle of Impedance?

Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two units" and find the impedance picture of amplifier and loudspeaker or microphone and amplifier. Learn about "voltage bridging" - Zout < Zin.


Which is better high input impedance or low input impedance and why?

That depends on the output impedance. In electronic we use voltage bridging, that is a relative low output impedance to a higher input impedance. Usualy the input impedance is more than ten times higher then the output impedance. An input impedance is called also a load impedance or an external impedance. An output impedance is called also a source impedance or an internal impedance.


What was the effect on the input impedance of lowering the operating frequency?

The input impedance should increase slightly for the lower frequency, when using a capacitive circuit.


What is the effect if capacitance in transmission line is high?

higher phase shift lower impedance


What are practical applications of a transformer coupled amplifier?

Well the purpose of the transformer in an amplifier is impedance matching. Lets say the transformer is on the input of a audio amp. Now the amp circuitry has an input impedance (this is important because matching the impedance gives us maximum power transferred from the input signal source to the amp circuit, and that increases performance) and a microphone has an output impedance. So if the microphone is 10,000 ohms and the amp circuit is 500 ohms then the transformer is designed to transform 10,000 ohms to 500 ohms for better signal transfer. If the trans former is on the output of an amplifier the trans former transforms the output impedance of the of the power amp circuit to the input impedance of the load. If the output is a speaker (usually 8 ohms ) and the output impedance of the amp circuit is 1000 ohms then for maximum power transfer the transformer trans forms 1000 ohms to 8 ohms. This was the case using electron tubes. Now with transistors, amplifier circuits can be built with lower output impedances (common collector circuit in a class B power amp) so the costly transformer can be eliminated. Also Audio transformers are made slightly different in design than power transformers. Ausio transformers are designed with higher resistance in the windings to enable a wider frequency response where as power transformers are designed with much lower resistance to keep heating minimized while passing only one power frequency (60 hertz) at large amounts of power.

Voltmeter DMM or VOM has the higher loading effect?

The VOM has the higher loading effect, because it has a lower impedance. It is typical for a VOM to have an impedance of 20K ohms per volt while the DMM has a fixed impedance of 10M ohms or 20M ohms.
