I'm trying to find out if there is a way to connect the REC/Phones
output of my Roland Micro Cube amplifier to a Microphone input
on a laptop. Assuming the Mic-In is low impedance, is there a way
to convert the high voltage line signal of the amp to the microphone
input?


You need a simple attenuator to knock the line~level from your
amplifier down to mic-level for your laptop. Note that most
laptop mic inputs are mono. Hope you weren't expecting to
listen/record stereo. Impedance is really not the issue here.


Mono is ok.

All I found so far is to do the opposite: connecting a mic to
a line input.


That would be a mic preamp.


Yes, precisely the opposite from what I want.

Where can I buy such a impedance matcher?


Last time I checked, you could buy a cable at Radio Shack
here in the US that had an attenuator built-in for connecting
line-level sources to mic-level inputs. Dunno if you have
an equivalent electronics mass-marketer in .nl? Likely
available someplace online also.


Sure we do! The only problem is to find the right word/component to ask for.
I will ask for an attenuator, as you suggested.

thanks for your answer,
