I have hooked up my pre-amped Ibeam equipped guitars directly into an XLR microphone input on at least one occasion, with nothing more than a TRS to XLR adapter plug . . . and no impedance matching transformer. The results were quite good. LR baggs pretty much says that their active pickups can plug right into almost any input with any reasonable length of cable . . . and I think that the Taylor ES is pretty much the same. I'm not so sure about other brands. Plugging a passive pickup into an XLR input would almost certainly sound terrible.

It is possible, but unlikely, that the Loudbox mic input is somehow different than other mic inputs. I will defer to those who have more specific knowledge than I do.
