Default Does anybody sell pre-made resistor "gizmos" for sm57/58 mics?

Surely all passive ribbon mics have output transformers, and the optimal

model or brand ?

Let me repeat: Microphone preamp input impedances should be 2K ohms or greater to *avoid* loading ribbon mics. "Optimal loading" would be NO loading whatsoever.
