  I'm looking for a schematic so that will enable me to interface a low impedance mic input with a high impedance input. Looking for a 600 Ohm mic input and a 50K input source.

  Thanks,

Your question is not clear,  do you mean a low impedance mic OUTPUT (600ohm) driving a high impedance mic PREAMP INPUT (50Kohm) ?
in that case the signal is perfectly adapted. In order to maintain a flat signal, the input impedance (mic preamp input) must be at least 5 times greater (or higher) in regards to the source impedance (the mic).
if i missunderstood and you actually meant the opposite, then the answer is: a good DI box or transformer
 
If you mean to connect a balanced low-z mic to an unbalanced high-z input, you can use one of these which will give you a bit more level too:

I have been using the barrel plugs, and they work great, but I don't need the barrel. Wondering if I can just buy the transformer from somewhere. Do you know what kind of transformer is used?
