Unless your mic input isn't balanced the results you get connecting that way are going to vary wildy depending upon the source recording, I suggest you try the cable style suggest in this thread and compare the results, I think you will discover your way doesn't work nearly as well as you think it does.

To be fair he doesn't say what he's using into the mixer, i suspect 3.5 to 2x1/4" or 2xRCA. Surely can't be many using 3.5 to xlr, it makes no sense.

A 1/4" to 1/8" TRS adapter and an XLR to TRS cable are easy to find so it wouldn't take much effort to put together what looks like(but isn't) a valid solution.

Apologies for not updating this thread. My cable has arrived but I haven’t had time to test it, busy with work.
I’ll definitely try it this evening. It’s Thursday after all. Good for playing som Gong.

a balanced system doesn't sum the two signals, it takes the difference between the hot and cold signals resulting in +6dB and cancellation of inteference. if you put a left and a right stereo signal into a balanced input instead of hot and cold (inverted) then difference between them will cancel out most of the signal.

It will add to 6dB with a differential output but not always with a balanced output, balanced just means that the two lines are impedance matched, there may only be a signal on one line which is fairly common as is cheap but effective. Plugging L and R into a differential input still holds true re cancellation or addition, depending on whether one of the lines from the source is inverted or not.
