Connecting an audio device

To play or record sound with your Macintosh, you can attach a microphone, amplifier, tape recorder, or a pair of speakers.

If your Macintosh has AV capabilities, you can record sound and video simultaneously by connecting a VCR to the S-video output port and linking the computer’s sound output port to the sound input channels on the VCR. (See “Connecting a VCR to View Video Images or Capture Frames” in Chapter 8.)

Follow these steps to connect an audio device to the Macintosh.

1 Make sure that the audio device has a cable with a stereo miniplug connector.

Place the audio device near the Macintosh.

Shut down the Macintosh and turn off the audio device.

Attach the cable to the audio device and to the sound port on the Macintosh. Turn on the computer and the audio device and begin working with sound.

About microphones: Be sure to use a microphone designed for your model of the Macintosh, such as the Apple PlainTalk Microphone. You can obtain information about other microphones from an Apple-authorized dealer.

The Apple PlainTalk Microphone and the software needed for using spoken commands are available from Apple-authorized dealers.
