In Part 1 of this series, we talk about the technical aspects of preamps. We answer the question, “What is Impedance?“ We talk about signal to noise ratio, active vs passive instruments, and where to put a preamp in your signal chain. In this video, we demonstrate what it sounds like when you plug your violin into a circuit that's not ready for a high impedance instrument. Then we demonstrate four different preamps that we carry. 0:00 - Introduction 4:22 - Impedance mismatch 4:45 - ART Tube Preamp 5:05 - LR Baggs Paracoustic DI 5:27 - LR Baggs Venue DI 5:47 - Fishman Aura Spectrum DI
