Default Attenuate -10db output

I'm looking for a low cost way to slightly attenuate a -10db stereo
RCA output from an FM tuner.

This is a small cable studio's playout system. There is no mixer:
Several devices (4 streams from a video server, several tape and DVD
decks) feed into a routing switcher, then a compressor/limiter, then
into modulators and out into the cable system. It is important to have
all devices at the same approximate level; While they are all -10db,
the only significant difference is the tuner. It is noticeably louder
than all the other sources. The tuner is a Rolls RS80, and it has no
adjustment for output level (except the front-panel headphone jack,
which I am currently using. The protruding cable looks bad, and I want
to use the rear stereo RCA jacks.

I could use a cheap Behringer mini-mixer, but I'd rather find one of
those little "audio solutions" boxes that will give me control of the
level, definitely down, but perhaps up also. Any ideas?

Vastly overpriced IMHO. If it were me, I would make my own
with a pot in a box, but if you have to buy something off the shelf,
the RDL people make all kinds of these little convienent gadgets.
