Often abbreviated as “Hi-Z,” this generally refers to electronic audio devices with and input or output impedance of more than 600 ohms. A typical electric guitar pickup, for example, generally needs to be connected to a high-impedance input. Otherwise the electronics will be loaded down and the sound will be significantly altered.
