For specific instructions on connecting a microphone, skip to the next
section, “Connecting and Positioning a Microphone.” For specific
instructions on connecting speakers, see “Connecting External Stereo
Speakers,” earlier in this chapter.
To connect audio equipment to the
SuperMac C600x computer:
1.
Make sure that the audio equipment has a cable with a
stereo miniplug connector. If it does not, attach an
adapter that has a
ste reo miniplug.
2.
Place the audio equipment near the SuperMac C600x
computer.
3.
Attach the cable to the audio equipment and to the
appropriate audio port on your SuperMac C600x com-
puter.
To record incoming sound on the computer, connect a PlainTalk or
PlainTalk-compatible microphone to the Audio In port on the com-
puter.
To record the sound produced by the compute
r or play that sound
through external speakers, connect the input on the audio equip-
ment to the Audio Out port on the computer.
Connecting and Positioning a Microphone
With appropriate software, you can use a microphone to record your
voice or other sounds. An Apple PlainTalk
®
microphone for your
SuperMac C600x is available from your UMAX Computer Reseller.
Using an Apple PlainTalk microphone and software, you will be able
to use speech recognition technology with the SuperMac C600x com-
puter. (You can’t use the round microphone supplied with some Macin-
tosh models.)
To connect and position the microphone,
1.
Plug the microphone’s connector into the Audio In port
on the front of the SuperMac C600x computer as shown.
2.
Place the microphone at the top center of the display,
so that the microphone’s grille is facing you.
If you can’t place the microphone on top of your display, place the
microphone between 1 and 3 feet away from you and directly in
front of you to minimize recording background noise.
