What I have seen some places use is to build a little bitty custom box.  It has a small battery powered mixer with the right kind if inputs, a couple of DIs and a baggie full of the various laptop adapter cables.  Everything is color coded and numbered.   It outputs a mono balanced line level signal that any board can handle correctly.  Printed on the inside of the lid is simple easy to follow directions that even a philosophy professor can handle.

No, I'm looking to have 2 1/4" outs to go to my line in jacks on the
console.  I could do just RCA to 1/4" but with that we end up with all
sorts of noise and buzz issues as many laptop outputs are poorly
designed.  This is why I'd like some sort of transformer balancing.

Thanks though.
