Martin, 

What you need is a mixer to adjust the individual levels from each mic. For 
high quality and best results, you would use a low noise mixer pre-amp and 
feed it into the line in of the recorder. 

Much simpler and cheaper is a passive mixer which is simply several volume 
controls connected together. The weakest input should be mixed at maximum 
level, with louder mics or mic rigs faded down a bit. 

Passive mixers are a cheap and cheerful solution to combining any sound 
signals and giving you various input plug options.
