Moreover, modern soundcards have their recording inputs adjustable for both mic and line-in, so it's a matter of adjusting input gain and/or levels. Of course this is not the best scenario; it would be much better to use at least a small audio mixer. But OP asked for a setup just for rehearsal, I think he's not concerned with very high audio quality. He can start trying with the cheaper option, to see if the results are enough. | |

The impedance is way too low, and you'll get plenty of interference. Some simple USB interface with hi-Z input is a highly advisable investment. | |
