[Duo2400] Re: 2400 audio queries

[Brian Getz]

Interesting, I did not know that.

I have never tried to use the microphone input on my
2400. Does that mean that if you have an Apple
microphone RCA adapter that it will also not work?
Those came with the Apple microphone Part #
699-5104-A. Which by the way are available for a few
dollars in surplus stores.
