How low does it go? How low do you need it? Two conductor? Single conductor? Star-quad? -- For a good time, call http://mikeriversaudio.wordpress.com |

Try a 0.22uF cap in series with 100 ohms for starters. Which is not the best idea if it's being fed by a guitar pickup, which expects a load of many kilohms or a high impedance mic such as those used on some acoustic guitars. If the OP told us what the application was, then we'd have a better idea what to recommend. -- Tciao for Now! John. |

But you cannot tell an audiophool anything. BTW, if the source is a ceramic contac tpickup, cable C does not cause high frequency loss, just some loss of level and improved lows. If the OP told us what the application was, then we'd have a better idea what to recommend. ** Of course, but I answered the Q as written. C disappears once you "match" the line. ..... Phil |

How low does it go? Pretty low, but why do you care? We run 600 ohm lines (or these days lines with even lower source impedance) so we don't have to worry so much. Guitar players have to worry, people with high-Z tape heads and internal console connections to though. It's nice to have low capacitance but flexibility and good noise rejection are usually bigger deals today, --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
