As you said, it's a Line-In. That means it's expecting a signal about 1 V P-P (peak to peak). A standard microphone outputs between 1 and 10 mV. You need a pre-amp to amplify the mic signal up to line level. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
