phone/ tablet into desk?

[Horizontalste]

For home practice I'm using a mixer and my phone and it works great. However, the line in on the mixer has no gain or eq so I was wondering if it's possible to run the phone through the single xlr on one of the channels? I'm not clued up on signals and things & don't want to spend loads on cables in a trial & error fashion. Any advice gratefully received.

No prob, just get an xlr to mini jack, or a jack socket to xlr adapter and use your original cable, still be mono, but you had that using the line in anyway.
May need to turn your phone down a bit as the mic input level sensitivity is a little hotter than the line but it'll work fine.

Ah cool, thanks. I wasn't sure it would be as simple as that, thought I might have to use a DI.
