[sdiy] XLR to 1/4 inch

[John Speth]

I'm hoping somebody can enlighten me if it's practical to take the XLR 
outputs from a passive DI box (transformer based) and use an XLR to 1/4 
inch cable to drive my -10 dBV mixer inputs.

I'm looking at an ART 2 channel passive DI box 
(https://artproaudio.com/product/dualzdirect-dual-professional-passive-direct-box/). 
The problems I'm trying to solve are:

1. My MOTM has such hot signals that they need attenuation

2. A ground loop problem between my MOTM and mixer

For this DI box to work, I'd need to buy or make a cable with XLR on one 
end and 1/4 inch TS on the other. The DI box has a ground lift which I'm 
nearly certain I would use. I would probably use one or both of the DI 
box input attenuators.

Is my idea practical? How do you guys solve such problems?
