Default Passive blender for K&K Trinity?

I just got my first pure mini and I'm pleased. After 15 years of nothing but Fishman matrix pickups in my guitars, I love the simplicity, lack of batteries, and natural tone of the pure mini. I have one more guitars to equip with a pickup (Huss and Dalton tdm) and I'm thinking about the dual source Trinity system. The drawback is the stereo out. I had an electric guitar that needed a TRS cable to function properly and I eventually sold it. Just too many scenarios where I just want to "plug in".

The pure mini I just installed included a passive volume control. Wouldn't it be possible to make a similar passive blender knob? I feel like I've seen this option often on bass guitars. Any reason it wouldn't work? Do the mic and pickup have wildly different impedances?

PS
I know I can get an on board active blender for the Trinity. I'm trying to stay passive. Actually, I would probably opt for just the pure mini in order to stay passive, if that was the only option

The mic on the trinity system requires power so I don't really see how passive can work, i.e. you won't be blending anything!
