Rca Phono

Want to connect microphone to TV, where can I find a 1/4" jack to two RCA phono plug?

I have a microphone with a 1/4" or 6.35mm jack plug that I would like to connect to my TV. Unfortunately the only input available are the standard RCA (red/yellow/black) sockets in the TV.

I've read that the yellow one is for video; and the other two are for audio, so I'm assuming that this means that I should find a adaptor for: 1/4" or 6.35mm jack socket ->2 phono plugs. So far I've only been able to find one jack socket -> one phono, so am now a little bit confused.

I'm not a techie person when it comes to this sort of hardware, and am not sure quite what to do. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

A microphone does not produce enough signal to drive the RCA Phono inputs to your TV. (line level) You need a pre-amplifier to boost the signal to line level. The least expensive pre-amplifier you will find happens to have a little audio mixer as a bonus. If you go to a large music store, such as Guitar Center, look for the Behringer XENYX-502 mixer. It has the correct connector, preamp and output connectors to plug between your microphone and TV. As a bonus it has an additional microphone input and 4 line inputs for CD, dvd audio, whatever. Since you have the microphone cable, all you need is an RCA cable to go from the outputs of the little mixer to your TV inputs. It will cost less than $50. Single stand alone microphone pre-amps are available, but they cost much more, and won't do as much.
