At one time Radio Shack sold a mini male to RCA that would pad a line
to mic signal. The also had a cable with same connection that was
about 3ft. long. I don't know if they still sell these or not but I
have about 2 of each in my parts box and I never use them.

If you can't find them, let me know and I can send you one for a very
minimal fee - mostly just enough to cover shipping charges.
