3.5m jack to 2 speaker cables

[Too Late]

I have googled with no luck

I have a small TV with built in speakers, i would like to have 2 speakers mounted in the ceiling. The only speaker out on the back of the TV is the headphone jack

So i want to find a 3.5m jack which then has the cable to join to 2 ceiling speakers.

Is there anything like that out there?

Thanks

You'd be expected to run the headphone output to an amp before it hits the speakers.

You can get a headphone jack to RCA leads but you'll need to put an amp in there too. Headphone outlets won't power much more than headphones, funnily.

This is the lead.

How smart is this!

Can't you disconnect the wires to the internal speaker and run them to an external one if it is a permanent fixed TV?

Otherwise I'd say something like this, but it needs a 12v power supply.

Or if it is a modern TV with a USB socket, maybe something like this, or other similar USB powered speakers but they won't go loud

Does the TV have bluetooth? I've just bought a Pure Voca bluetooth speaker for my bedroom tv, it's a big ugrade sound wise for £60.

Does the TV have a scart? If so, scart to RCA to Amp to speakers

[clockworks]

Scart to amp will give you a line level (fixed volume) signal, so you will need to adjust volume using the amp's volume control. Could be a problem if the amp is hidden away. You will want an amp with a remote, and line of sight to the IR receiver.

Headphone socket to amp means you can use the TV's remote to adjust volume, but it will generally disable the TV speakers. It's best to get an amp with variable gain, so that you can match levels.
