Re: [Avid-L2] OTish: Audio Level Converter? Pyle Premium Direct Injection Audio Box - 2.36" x 4.09" Passive DI Unit Hum Eliminator w/ Input Attenuator to Connect Guitar & Bass, 1/4'' Impedance Transformer Connector to Balanced & Unbalanced XLR

A 14dB drop is about 80% reduction. So a series 100 ohm resistor and a 20 ohm across the output would work if it's all unbalanced. A simple T attenuator. Cost - around a dollar.

A single resistor soldered in a plug will to the trick. 

Custom cable for a few dollar of parts.

I'm thinking of trying to use this box to take the +4db main output of an M-Audio M-Track Duo to -10db consumer level to feed a powered PA Speaker/Amp unit that has consumer level RCA inputs.  There are more active units but they cost more.  This is a one off Zoom Comedy show for a non profit meeting hall I attend so I'm not trying to get super picky.  The fact that it seems bi-directional and has a attenuator I'd think the -20db setting would take the +4 signal down to the consumer level -10db ballpark.
