Connecting the Apple PlainTalk microphone

Your computer has a sound input port (≈), which you can use to connect an Apple PlainTalk Microphone. The Apple PlainTalk Microphone is included with some computer models. If your computer did not include an Apple PlainTalk Microphone, you can purchase one at an Apple-authorized dealer. You cannot connect non-Apple microphones.

Note: The sound input port does not support the Apple Omni microphone (the round microphone shipped with some earlier models of Macintosh) or the attenuated RCA adapter provided with some models of Macintosh.
