Hi,
The XLR (mic) inputs are low impedance (2.4 kohm), and the TRS (line) inputs are high impedance (22 kohm). Normally, a mic shall be connected via XLR and not TRS. But what about a ribbon mic that according to spec. requires a preamp with input impedance >9 kohm? Would it be ok (better) to connect that via TRS? Is there really any other difference between the XLR/TRS inputs apart from impedance? Both passes through the internal preamp.
