Adaptor to take low-Z Mic output to 1/4" line level?

I have a mixer with extra "line-level" inputs only, and I have mics which need to go in somewhere.
This site claims that an impedance matching adapter will step up the level:

So, something like this...

...this will not only turn an XLR male into a 1/4" male, but it will actually step up the level, so the mic can drive a line level input, too?! Really?
BTW, I have limited success with a Sony powered condenser microphone trying to drive a line level input...it's loud enough...barely.
