Thanks so much Michael, I will give it a try. Or, better yet,
attempt to find some original SDSV pads to match the module? Have
any?

sensitivity of the SDS9 pads is to high for SDSV. To solve the
problem I would suggest to solder a 10kohms resistor between live
and neutral in the SDSV consoles pad inputs. You could do this in
the pad or the cables too, but then these would not be useful for
anything else. It is not difficult to open the case. You see a long
wire soldered over all of the 7 pad input XLRs: That is
ground/neutral potential. The coloured wires on the XLRs carry the
life potential. So solder a resistor to each XLR connecting the 2
pins, thats it.
