Iphone Jack Adapter
Is there a way to plug my iPhone into a microphone jack?
I’m going to be in a school gym that has a great speaker system but only microphone jacks on the walls to connect to. (I’m sure their is another standard way like to play music but I don’t have access to it) Is there an adapter I can buy to connect my iPhone to this so the audio coming out of the headphone jack will play from the speakers? Where would I be able to buy something like that? Thanks!
Yes there is!!!
You need two things to do this right – neither one is very expensive.
You need a 3.5mm to 1/4 inch adapter cable:

Direct box:

Connect the 3.5mm end to your headphone output on the ipod. Connect one of the 1/4 inch ends to the input on the direct box. Leave the other one unconnected. Connect the output of the direct box to the mic jack on the wall using a standard 3 pin XLR mic cable:
http://www.amazon.com/Whirlwind-MIC03-Female-Microphone-Cable/dp/B001J1SX94/ref=sr_1_5?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1302635518&sr=1-5
The direct box is needed for two reasons – the mic input is very sensitive and your ipod puts out too much signal for that type of input – the direct box cuts that down to mic level. The box also balances the output from your ipod – XLR mic inputs are balanced.
It will work great but it will require a bit of investment on your part. All of these items are available at any store that sell musical instruments and sound equipment (like Guitar Center) or online.
