Any definitive word on impedance?
Re. the impedance, I just found some text from the manual -
OUTPUT JACK
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
We never "match" impedances for audio (no! Not even speakers. The 16 Ohm tap on an amp does NOT mean it has an internal, source impedance of 16 Ohms, usually somewhat more) .
The universal rule is that source impedance (aka Z) is around one tenth of the load Z. Thus, mics are around 150-200 Ohms and mic pre inputs 1500 to 2200 Ohms.
That old drum box I would bet just has an output of a certain level and the "high" "low" is just an internal resistor. They REALLY mean level I would say. Normally go for the lowest source Z you can to beat HF cable loss if that gives you enough level to beat noise.
