Recommend a 2 channel mixer w/ XLR outs

Trying to send a stereo RCA signal to my new Genelecs, which take XLR input. Anybody know of a simple two channel mixer to recommend? For monitoring only.

That seems a little funky, no? RCA being unbalanced and XLR being balanced...

It would also be nice to have something with volume adjustment going out to my monitors.

well if you're gonna but it through a mixer you're gonna be degrading the sound and could add noise. Not alot but it will be there, and since you're taking an unbalanced line INTO the mixer, you have a hole anyways so unless you're thinking about pulling it longer than 15' i think you're fine.

What about instead of a mixer I send the apogee into this:
Applied Research & Technology: ARTcessories™

...which should interface my unbalanced equipment (apogee heaphone out->RCA) into my balanced equipment (Genelec XLR ins). And I can attenuate volume via the apogee.

Should be pretty clean, right? I just want to make sure its the appropriate signal level and I'm not sending something too hot into the cleanbox or to the monitors.
