The device that Stephen Lui is looking for is called an L-pad. It will
allow you to take a line level signal and lower it to a mic level signal
in varying amounts. It operates just like a volume control except it will
not short out the outputs of the line level source or the inputs of your
mixer if the control is turned to the extremes. Also you may try to find
out exactly how much attenuation you need by measuring the output of the
line level device and the midrange input level of your mixer. Typically
line level can be from -15Db to 0 db and mic level from -70Db to -50Db
but sometimes that is not always true. The L-Pad will allow you to set it
to your level and if you should ever have to change the setup around, it
is easier to set it back up with one than with a fixed attenuator. Hope
this helps.
