Re(2): [MacDV] Software for importing LP music

[Mike Rehbein]

Almost. The Mic input needs "line level" input which is a greater  
signal than what a turntable puts out. So as long as there is a pre- 
amp, which is made to output a line level signal, that would work fine  
as an input to the Mic jack on the Mac.

The iMic is only needed if the Mac does not have a Mic input. The iMic  
is simply a means of inputing audio to the Mac if the Mac does not  
have an audio in (Mic jack).

So if you have a mic jack, using an iMic is unnecessary.
