I don't know the gadget, and I'm only going on the top level docs on
their site.

It definitely has a *powered* pre-amp? That should be ok into one of
the 8 input lines direct.

If you're taking a signal from a pickup on the bass, then if one of
the mic/line-ins is free then it should be fine making a cable
jack-XLR, with one side of the XLR grounded - i.e., unbalanced (input
stages shouldn't have a problem with this).

Cheers,
Danny.
