hi to all!
sorry for this silly question...
like i said in my greetings, i'm a hurdy-gurdy player. you can not know what it is but for my purposes you only must know that it has drone strings, playing one note as low as c2 (other tunings are d3, c3, g2 and d2, depending on the tuning style), while the melody strings can start at d5 and go up to d7. we say we have to retune every time we have to play something, sometime instead of it.
i have a good acoustic hurdy gurdy with a schaller piezo added by myself and i made a very simple passive box with a monitor output, straight from the input, and another out with a volume control and a switch, so i can mute myself when tuning and adjust my volume locally when i play around with others.
a very good hg player (and an expert of electronics and sounds) told me i can have troubles with the low impedance out of the box and the low tones will suffer, he says i should add a preamp to the box but i'd like to keep it simple, small and passive.
so, there are more ways to get an high impedance, say 1Mohm, out of this? will adding a 1 or 5 Mohm resistor or trimmer do the trick?
thank you!
