I would think that the Impass was not designed for that service. I have not seen the Impass schematic, but I would think a Red Light with the headphone jacks on the primaries might be more like it.

The "nominal" sensitivity is measured with a 100 V pp signal. They are about 100pF.
Takes some real current to charge that capacitor. Blue Hawaii used EL34 and an 800V ps.

I would be interested in other responses.
