On my website I have a blog about bringing back aviom system which showed me taking the headphone output of the AVIOM and connecting it to a SHURE wireless in ear system. Use a TRS male plug and wire it to 2 XLR male plugs, it usually takes a special cable to have true stereo. For wiring go to http://rickcperry.com/?p=383
Hope this helps...

Do you realize that the Shure systems have plugs on them that take both TRS or XLR in the same plug?  Sounds like you are doing extra work to convert to XLR.

Answering your question more directly, a headphone output is generally close enough in level to drive a line input just fine.  Most pro gear with line ins can accept a signal as hot as +20dBU or more, which is more than 12 volts.  Looking at the M2 manual, the M2 can accept up to a +26dBU signal.

Generally the difference between a "headphone" output and a "line" output is the ability to deliver this voltage into a lower impedance - an 8 or 16 ohm load rather than a 600ohm load.  The headphone output has more current supplying ability.

In other words, fit the plugs and go.

You could also get the MT-X expansion box:
