Does anyone know the recommended microphone impedance for k300 pa? I'm guessing it is high Z like most "older" pa's but can't find actual #'s.

The inputs are HiZ and it's a lot easier to use any new LoZ mic with a mic matching transformer to convert the mic for HiZ input of the kustom. I think most mics are considered HiZ with an impedence of 600 ohms or higher.

Cool. I didn't know there were such things, not too expensive either. Learn something new almost every day. Thanks.

You will also get alot less noise and interfearance by running balanced low Z and only converting it to Hi Z at the PA head with the transformer.
