USING MICROPHONES
Microphones in stereo may be used with the C28.
The two MIC channels amplify microphone signals.
They have a sensitivity of 2.5 millivolts and an input
impedance of 0.5 megohm. For lower output micro-
phones input transformers should be used to raise
the voltage output to the 2.5 millivolt range.
