The Sound Blaster Audigy and Sound Blaster Live! cards are designed for
use with Electret microphones of 600 Ohms impedance.

Creative cards that feature an internal drive bay (Sound Blaster Live!
Platinum, Sound Blaster Live! Platinum 5.1, Sound Blaster Audigy
Platinum) include a jumper on the Live!/Audigy Drive which allows you to
choose between dynamic and electret microphones.
