Why not?

Alternatively, you could just look at the input resistors.  The impedance of
any input through a resistor into an inverting opamp (which describes most
module inputs) is simply the value of the input resistor.  If there is a
attenuator pot in the line, then this creates a divider into a parallel
resistance, depending on the pot setting, and a bit of algebra is involved.
