Apple 8100/80AV manual Connecting a microphone

Connecting a microphone

Your computer has a sound input port, which you can use to connect a microphone. With appropriate software, you can use the microphone to give spoken commands to your Macintosh and to record your voice or other sounds.

The Apple PlainTalk Microphone and the software needed for using spoken commands are available from Apple-authorized dealers. If you want to use another microphone, make sure it is compatible with your model of Macintosh.

The Apple AudioVision 14 Display has the Apple PlainTalk Microphone built in.

To connect the microphone:

mPlug the microphone’s connector into the sound input port (marked with the symbol X) on the back of the computer.

See “Connecting Stereo Audio Equipment” in Chapter 7 of this book for more information about the sound input port.
