Apple Power Macintosh 4400 - Manual (Page 52)

Tip: You may prefer to set the Sound Out Level slider to about the middle of
the slider bar. This way, when you adjust the volume later in other ways—
through the AppleCD Audio Player or through the volume controls on the
computer or monitor—you can hear your adjustments better because the
computer itself is set to about the middle of its volume range.
For more information about sound, see the “Sound” topic area of Macintosh
Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
Connecting an Apple PlainTalk Microphone
Your computer has a sound input port (≈), which you can use to connect an
Apple PlainTalk Microphone. The Apple PlainTalk Microphone is included
with some computer models. If your computer did not include an Apple
PlainTalk Microphone, you can purchase one at an Apple-authorized dealer.
You cannot connect non-Apple microphones.
Note: The sound input port does not support the Apple Omni microphone
(the round microphone shipped with some earlier models of Macintosh) or
the attenuated RCA adapter provided with some models of Macintosh.
To connect the microphone, follow the steps below.
Note: If you want to record sound using the microphone built into your
monitor (if you have such a monitor), see “Using Your Monitor’s Built-in
Microphone,” later in this section.
1 Shut down the Macintosh.
2 Plug the microphone’s connector into the sound input port (
≈
) on the back of
the computer.
