Right. Audio mixers are "AC coupled" -- they have capacitors at their
inputs.

I'm not sure what you mean by low level. 10.96Vpk (or 21.92Vp-p) is only
20dBU. The MIL of most Mackie line inputs is 24dBU, which is over 34V
peak-peak -- less than the MOTM PS. Just do not use the mic inputs.

I've run the output of the 320 directly into my Mackie with no problems --
even a _slow_ pulse (about 9Vpp) wave merely clicks at each transition
point. I've also come up with some interesting sounds using the UEG
(approximately 0-5V) as an oscillator with no problems.
The only danger is using signals that are beyond the audible range. The
mixer can pass subsonics that can damage your woofers. If you use
nearfields I strongly suggest fusing the bass drivers, even if you are not
using synthesizers.
