Alan was likely thinking matched impedance unbalanced inputs.  Since you'd be 
going from 600 ohms to at least 10 k with consumer inputs, a simple L pad 
(voltage divider) of rather approximate impedance would do.  Two resistors, 
one between 200 and 2 k from hot to ground of the -10 level mixer input, and 
another in series with the hot before it, of a value about 4-5 times higher, 
should do it, if needed.
