Low impedance mics( LO Z), have a higher output, and are balanced, so they can generally use long cables without frequency response degradation, RFI or EMI issues.
I had a good laugh when you said LOZ. High impedance(HI Z) mics are generally "all purpose" communication types and have cables no longer than 5-10 feet. The connectors and cables generally have two conductors, terminating in a 1/4" plug. These mics are susceptable to RFI and EMI noise because of their low signal strength and because they aren't balanced, which is why they have short cables.
Thanks for the information pal. Normally I try to be humorous in these videos. I'm using a 25 ft. cable and haven't had much trouble at all.
