I am doing my first club gig and the only connection they have is an XLR Female in the wall.

I am using and Ion iCue with laptop and have a Maya 44 soundcard.

How do I connect to it?

Thankyou...

Is it a single or dual XLR?
If its just a single, check to make sure its not an Mic input! its rare but if it is a mic input you also need to make sure its not phantom powered! (many places with a single XLR on the wall are usually wired into the high-z mic input, line level signals will usually sound terrible/distorted, and if its phantom powered, you may just shove 48 volts into your maya44!)

Your best bet (to go from RCA to XLR) is a DI-box
