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.
