Connecting and positioning a microphone

With appropriate software, you can use the Apple PlainTalk Microphone that comes with some Macintosh computers (or a compatible line-level microphone) to record your voice or other sounds.

Apple PlainTalk Microphone

You can’t use the round, omnidirectional microphone supplied with some other Macintosh models.

Follow these steps to connect and position the microphone:

Shut down the Macintosh.

Plug the microphone’s connector into the sound input port (X) on the back of the computer.

Place the microphone at the top center of the monitor, so that the microphone’s Apple (K) icon is facing you.
