AV guys - need your help: 1/4 mono to to XLR stereo how?

[paulney]

I have the following setup:

- a presenter on stage is talking into the mic
- live feed from the mic runs into the mixer, operated by a 3rd party
- I have audio equipment that takes XLR connection, needs stereo input (otherwise, whoever listens to this equipment gets sounds in one ear only)
- mixer is a small portable kind, so I get a mono signal from a 1/4" output (all other outputs are taken)

Now I need to convert this into a stereo signal.
I have:
- 1/4" TRS to XLR patch cable
- long XLR cable that runs to my equipment

and I was thinking of buying this adapter to stick it into the mixer first

Is this the easiest solution? Is there something better?
Thanks!

if all you're getting is mono, then a y adapter on the input of your gear is all you need.
