But being a total of approx 13k will have little effect across 150 ohms.

True - I was just trying to correct your 1.2k, which while hardly a
typo was certainly a slip of the decimal point.

No - that's the input impedance of a Neve desk - one of the classic
designs. Others too. More modern ones may be higher.

A typical modern console has around a 2k ohm impedance mic input.

'Rule of thumb' is to load with 10x source impedance.
