Topic: Connecting UCX output into Mixer Mic input ?

Hi,

I would like to connect UCX to PA, but mixer itself is far away and I only have stage box on stage. Stage box has all XLR inputs connected to Mic inputs of the Mixer.

UCX has 3 output settings: Hi Gain, +4 dBu, -10 dBV.
But none of these is really what Mixer Mic input expects, right ?

So what is the best way to solve this ? A DI box ?

You will use a TRS to XLR cable and feed your signal into said box. The mixer then will change from mic function to line function by applying PAD. But even without a PAD -10 dBV should already work.
