Keith  , I concur with ALL of your statements in your post #1930 (above)  All of it !  I will refrain from repeating your post word for word , I agree with all of it !  
 
Mario ,  
In much of the truly professional and more pricey of audio gear all that you might find are XLR connectors  and terminal strips at all signal levels , more rarely TRS and TS and rca phono plug.
Especially older equipment, Think ; Rupert Neve ,  Studer , Ampex , Scully, Universal Audio,
SSL, API, MCI, I own some of this stuff. ___The list goes on and on ... ... ... ... _______  
 
It is the operators responsibly  in a professional  setting not to cause a Train Wreck , this is what I have observed in the major recording studio, FOH live, and Broadcasting audio world. We are all just human after all and make mistakes. How much forgiveness one gets for these mistake is  sometimes a measurement of how much of a clear track record that you have in that scenario and how much you are loved. ___LOL_!

Mario,
          Addressing the adaptor that you so nicely illustrated in your post #1023.  YES , I agree that in certain situations making such an adaptor (wired to meet those specific needs) can prove to be very useful.    
 
        There are different standards and norms found on  musical instrument preamp and interface  and signal process equipment where balanced XLR termination could be impractical . That is where the type of adaptor that you illustrate is very practical, I agree !

You're right, Keith, I was only assuming the sound guy already have tried to pad incoming signal before stating it was too hot for the mic input...
