You will probably need to adjust the settings (including volume) in the
control panel that handles sound on your computer. For instructions, choose
Macintosh Guide (or Mac OS Guide) from the Guide (h) menu; click the
Guide’s Index button, and choose “sound” from the index.
Connecting and positioning a microphone
You can use the Apple PlainTalk Microphone that comes with some
Macintosh computers (or a compatible line-level microphone) to give spoken
commands to your Macintosh and to record your voice or other sounds.
Note: Do not use the Apple Omni microphone (the round microphone
supplied with some other Macintosh models) or the attenuated RCA adapter
provided with some models of Macintosh.
If your monitor has a built-in microphone that you want to use, see the
information that came with the monitor to properly connect the microphone.
To connect and position an external microphone, follow these steps:
1 Shut down the computer.
2 Plug the microphone’s connector into the sound input port ( ≈ ) on the back of the
computer.
