== Conversion ==You do not convert a microphone level signal to a line level signal.  You simply amplify the microphone level signal with a preamplifier until it is at line level.  However, under some circumstances an individual may find the need to feed a line level signal into a microphone level input because the device, such as a radio transmitter, has no other input options.  Directly feeding line level into such an input will damage the internal electronics because an already amplified signal level will be fed directly to a preamplifier.  If nothing is damaged, the resulting audio will be extremely over-modulated and distorted.  The line level signal needs to be reduced and impedance matched to send it to the microphone input of such a device.  This will come with a cost.  There will be a reduction in quality and impedance matching may be tricky.
