Griffin releases iMic Control 1.5 for Classic, X
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
November 18th 2002
This free app adds additional controls to the immensely handy iMic
Griffin Technology has announced the release of iMic Control 1.5, free software that
adds volume, input gain, bass and treble control to a Mac when used with an iMic USB
Audio Interface. This software gives sound shaping control to applications that
previously had none -- such as web browsers streaming music or audio. It also enables
audio play-through monitoring on Mac OS 9. iMic Control 1.5 software is available now
for free.
iMic Control 1.5 includes an adjustable input gain control. This allows users to
adjust their sound input level when recording music or voice into the Mac. This is
especially useful for people recording sound into iMovie. Although iMovie can record
voiceovers and music directly, it has no way of adjusting the level of sound being
recorded. The combination of iMic Control 1.5 software and an iMic gives this very
important control back to the user.
�
Another key feature included in iMic Control 1.5 is Bass and Treble control. Although
many individual apps include multi-band Equalizers, there has never been a way to
control the Bass and Treble of the Mac itself. What if the overall sound of an iBook
needs more bass? Or a user wants to adjust the Treble of external speakers? With the
free iMic Control software they have both settings available to their Mac to adjust
its sound any way they desire.
�
iMic Control 1.5 software is designed to work exclusively with the Griffin iMic, one
of the most popular and inexpensive USB audio devices in the world. The Griffin iMic
adds high quality stereo input and output to any USB based Macintosh and includes a
switch to select between microphone or line inputs. It is also plug-and-play � no
installation is required for iMic to work on any Macintosh computer. With the
combination of an iMic and the iMic Control software, users now have complete control
of the sound of their Mac.
iMic Control Software Version 1.5 for OS 9 and OS X is available immediately. iMic USB
Audio Input Device sells for $35 (SRP).
Editor's note: This software isn't necessary to make use of the iMic. Thus said, this
little extra is yet another reason why Griffin products are so popular. It essentially
mirrors the capability of the Sound Preference pane in X and Sound Control Panel under
Classic with the addition of bass and trble controls.
