Re: RME Fireface 400 and Guitar Hi-Z inputs

Thanks, Doug.

 

You mean:

 

 "Inputs 3 and 4 are extremely flexible balanced universal inputs. Firstly, they operate exactly as inputs 5 to 8 on the rear and can be adjusted to accept standard studio input levels (+4 dBu, LoGain). Furthermore, the input impedance can be switched from Line (10 kOhm) to Instrument (470 kOhm). An additional analog input amplification of up to 18 dB (in steps of 0.5 dB) is also available. In short: There's no signal that these inputs can't deal with perfectly!"

 

So, is 470kOhm what you get from a hi-z?

...and now I read the last paragraph :) ha!

so, yeah - if that marketing literature is accurate, it's able to switch the impedance of the jacks for 3 and 4 with a switch.  setting it for high-z and then setting the gain appropriately should be fine.
