Hello, I recently tried playing my electric guitar with the iRig HD 2 and connected the headphone output to the aux input of my JBL 2 speaker.
Although it worked well, I'm curious to know more about why it worked. After some online research, I found that this setup may not be optimal for guitars with passive pickups due to the relatively high input impedance of the guitar signal. When connected to the relatively low input impedance of the JBL speaker, this forms a voltage divider that can potentially lower the level of the signal. Some sources suggest that a preamp may be necessary for this setup to work optimally. Does the phone with iRig HD 2 is used as an preamp?
While it worked well, I'm curious about the compatibility of this setup and if it could potentially cause any problems. Can you provide any insight?
