Clock voltage

Hi,
I was planning to use the clock from my Doepfer A-154 as the main clock to sync my NDLR, but the A-154 clock output voltage is around 10v, so that would be a no-go according to NLDR manual (max 5v). I find it very surprising that Conductive labs choose to limit the accepted voltage to 5v, all the clock signal I have seems to be in the 10v range... it looks like a common clock voltage.
I don't want to take the chance of blowing up my NDLR clock input bu just trying it... 10v being a common clock voltage, is there a known workaround that is safe (safe being, not using an attenuator module and taking the chance of an accidental fatal twist of a knob)? Maybe the schematics for a simple passive circuit (I'm not an electronic buff, but I guess I could put it together if it's simple enough)?
Tx
