Hello!
Please advise me if it is possible and if yes, how to use the microphone inputs together with the other 6 line-ins of an UltraLite-mk5 interface, in order to connect to it the pre-outs of a Dolby Atmos receiver (Marantz Cinema 70s), for a 5.1.2 configuration.
What kind of attenuator could be used?
Thank you

See the Manual, Page 34.

Between the Gain Pot and Pad, you should be able to get the gain right for your use case.

Thanks for the quick answers!
I understand that you consider that an attenuator is not necessary when connecting a line level pre-out (RCA -10 dBv line level) from the receiver to the front mic/instrument inputs (via TRS). Reading in the manual, at page 23: Combo jack summary, it looks like you are right.
That is good news.

it seemed that the situation was not so simple.
