Re: [AG-TECH] matchmaker question

[Michael Miller <mimiller@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lisa,

The matchmaker converts the impedance from the XAP or other echo 
cancellation device to the sound card and vice-versa.  The result is 
that you have more head room to make adjustments in level.  Without it, 
you wind up having to set the volume on the audio machine very very low, 
and you can't bring it up without causing a lot of distortion and 
blowing out ears across the AG.

hope this helps
