MOTM

was reading with interest here...
microphones generally use xlr cables, they tend to have voltage levels in the microvolt range.
also some use phantom power, so that also means one needs to make sure those cables are marked so no grabs one with the wiring altered, could be bad.
going back to mikes, some send out a positive going signal and a negative going with the ground being common...

most synths that use 1/4 inch out are in millevolts

so what does the MOTM have going out it's output? microvolt, millevolts, whole volts or something larger? I am sure they must vary due to the nature of each.

what really is the impedance rating of the outs and in of a module? do they vary too?

and why is everyone not matching it, just wiring up cables to patch in? is it not critical, not a problem in the s/n area or just because you can?

going back to direct boxes, most are mindless, some are a bit more interesting in that they allow you to adjust the gain, ground lift, isolation and such
even a few channel mixer with the right in and out seems more useful than just re-wiring cables or it just doesn't matter?

I would like to hear from Paul S on this really plus a few other engineer types on this set of Modular.
