If all you need is to record mono, it's a great device with high quality sound. You'd just need an RCA to XLR adapter: www.micport.com But if you don't need a high quality audio recording, then a cable from Radio Shack is all you need.

I recorded my whole cassette collection that way. (You'll probably need an attenuator if you're using mic in, rather than line in - the cassette output is usually line level. Check your mixer (double-click on the speaker). Select Options/Properties/Recording. Make sure the mic input is selected. (The Playback section is what goes to the speaker.) It’s mic in, not line in.
