You can get a USB device to plug your mic level mike, or just use your camcorder, if the mic on that is good enough. <BR>
<BR>
Griffin and MacAlly sell the USB device.<BR>

My G4 desktop and my neighbor's G5 desktop does NOT have a built-in mic. Okay. So I need an external mic in. On the back of both machines is an Audio In Port. But what impedance does it like??!<BR>
<BR>
I bought a $20 Radio Shack multi-media headset. It works fine a (hush) PC, but doesn't work on either of our Macs? Whazzup with that?<BR>
<BR>
As Freud asked of women, I ask of Apple: "What do you want?"<BR>
<BR>
Do any of you use a headset? I want to use it with iChat, Skype, and to record a few sound bytes for various projects. Hi-fi in these cases not needed.<BR>
<BR>
Do I have to buy an adapter? Something like a phono pre-amp? Wha-?<BR>
<BR>
TIA,<BR>
