Mic/Pre impedance "matching"- What Are The Rules? [message #186489]

Welcome

Much attention has been given to finding the optimum impedance match between a microphone and preamp, especially with the rise of impedance-selectable pres.

Working with a wide range of both mics and pres, I am wondering how one determines - from a technical perspective - which pre would best suit a specific microphone?

The base research that I have done yields guidelines, such as: "the input impedance of the pre should be 10x the source impedance of the mic..."

Sonic factors notwithstanding, what are the "rules" for impedance matching?
