Using the microphone with the Multi-Channel Sound Manager (3-connector)

The 3-connector multi-channel speaker system (select models only) connects to the PC using the Microphone, Audio (Line) In, and Audio (Line) Out connectors on the back of the PC.

Refer to “Configuring the Multi-Channel Sound Manager (3-connector)” on page 12 to set the audio configuration.
