So our school is hosting a special Olympics and they have requested 3 wireless mics at our press box. Ok no problem.
Well actually there is a tiny one. The existing system consist of a wireless mic, a zone mix 760, and 2 crown amps. I plan on just unplugging the existing wireless mic, and patching the wireless mic and 2 more mics into my mixer. Than plug the mixer into input 3 (where the wireless mic is normally plugged in). If I'm thinking right, the input is configured as a mic in and the mixer will output line signal. This has been problematic in our gymnatorium when we do add ons like this before.
So I need a device to go from line to mic. I've seen stuff about using a DI box in reverse but never gathered if that is a legit thing. Is it that simple? The other thing I saw after some googling is this.
In short what I am asking is can I for sure use one of these devices to fix the mic/line level issue? I'd like to do a test run but I probably won't get anything other than an hour before the event starts. That's cutting it closer than I would like.
