Technology Overview
Power Mac G5
Analog and digital audio
The Power Mac G5 features a comprehensive set of audio capabilities not commonly
found in personal computers. State-of-the-art optical digital audio input and output
ports use the S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) protocol over Toslink cables for
connecting to devices such as decks, receivers, digital instruments, and even home
theater systems. The optical digital audio ports on the Power Mac G5 support stereo
and 5.1 surround sound speaker systems. Because optical digital audio transmits data
as impulses of light rather than electrical signals, it delivers pristine digital sound.
Completing the audio features of the Power Mac G5 are high-quality analog stereo
audio line-level input and output ports for connecting self-powered microphones
and analog audio decks and devices. An internal speaker is included, and a minijack
on the front panel makes it easy to plug in headphones for individual listening.
