The ME67 is a low-impedance mic, with an
output impdeance in the 200 ohm range.
The AM-F70 mic input is in the medium-
impedance range, somewhere between 2000
and 4000 ohms (I've seen both figures).
The Shure A96F cable will raise the
ME67 output to be closer to the range
of the minidisc, resulting in louder
recording without raising the level
on the minidisc pre-amp.

Using the A96F results in more satisfactory
recording with my ME66 and Aiwa AM-F70.
Give it a try and report if it works for
you, too.  Best price I've seen for the
Shure A96F is at www.bhphotovideo.com
