You're gonna need a -10db to +4 db impedence matcher. Consumer gear
is -10 db and pro gear like the Genelecs are -4 db. Pro gear would
blast consumer stuff and consumer gear would just whisper to pro gear.
You will need something like an Aphex 10/4 interface Model 124A. It's
a two channel box so you will need several of them. Tascam or Mackie
may make cheaper versions of them. I paid $275 for my Aphex 5 years
ago.
Good luck.
