Clarification of Corda 2Stepdance input impedance needed
What does "120 / 17 Kohm" mean, for the input impedance spec for the Corda 2Stepdance? 17K looks right, but what does the 120 mean? Is there an option to configure it for 120 ohms input impedance? If so, I don't see any mention of that in the manual. Greg.- skip129
