Product Review
The iMic looks like a compact version of the sleek power adapters that come with iBooks. Simply plug the iMic into a USB port and you're ready to go. The iMic is both Mac and PC compatible. The iMic comes with a quick start manual and Griffin's web site (www.griffintechnology.com) spells out the instructions in relatively good detail.
The Griffin iMic audio adapter, an affordable USB device that lets users connect microphones, speakers, cassette decks, and virtually any other audio source to their Macs and PCs for recording or playback. Among its many uses are recording voices or instruments for home movies, turning your laptop into a DJ studio, or converting your LPs and cassettes into MP3s or CDs.
The iMic includes two 1/8-inch mini-jack ports (one mic/line-level input and one speaker output), along with an RCA-to-miniplug adapter for connecting audio components such as phonographs. Thanks to a small toggle switch on the unit, the microphone input can handle both mic-level recording and line-level signals. In addition, the iMic works with most recording software, and even comes with a CD-ROM loaded with Final Vinyl for Macintosh (for recording LPs), along with trial versions of several other applications.
