Here's the adapters necessary to make it happen.

The red lead is the mic lead. Now you're in business. You can convert that RCA to an XLR connector and now you're REALLY in business.

Keep in mind the iPhone DOES NOT HAVE the ability to vary the input level, so you'll want some kind of sound mixer between the iPhone and the mic.

I use this (battery powered and lots of mixing options)

No obvious 3rd party products to do what you want. So, you're looking at a hack job, I expect.

Some users have reported that the AV cable from their digital camera/camcorder provided that functionality. Will depend on the pinouts of the AV cable, and may take some trial and error with the RCA plugs. Here's what worked for someone:

White/Black: Audio out (L)
Yellow: Audio Out (R)
Red: Mic level input

You could also use something like THIS and splice the mic cable to an RCA cable.

Looks like there may be more advice here:

Yep - any 3x RCA with the right mini-phone plug should work. It is just a matter of using a multimeter to figure out which color plug goes to which ring on the phono plug.

That is totally clever. I love it!

Seems like there should be something here:

The iPhone has 2 mics, does the jack i/p mic work for voice recording apps or only the phone ?
