[BC] Mic impedance question...

I am putting together a basic recording setup to do my audiobooks and possibly some voiceover work and have a question about the load impedance presented to the mic. Most of the mics I have been looking at show an impedance of 200 ohms (a couple are 75 and one is 50 ohms). But the only mics that specify both their source impedance and a recommended load specify that the load impedance should be 1000 ohms or more. The problem is, just about every mixer or USB adapter that I have spec'ed lists an input impedance of 600 ohms.
Could this be detimental to the sound I am attempting to achieve? I am kind of thinking of putting a dual, linear 1-K pot in a Bud box along with the appropriate XLR connectors so that I can set the load impedance to the recommended value. Any comments or suggestions?
