The X-Fi I/O Console hosts all the connectors necessary to meet every
conceivable music creation need. It features a Hi-Z connector which offers high
input impedance to match the load delivered by low output impedance devices
such as electric guitars, eliminating the need to run such devices through pre-
amp equipment.
