I wondered that myself actually, I don't know. Grifin Technology make the Imic so check with them I guess. I also neglected to mention that as this device doesn't require drivers on a PC or a Mac then its damn useful to use if you're on the road installing Windows on different computers as Windows just finds the Imic and uses it so you can get Narrator up and running to complete the Windows Install if you need to.

I'm a user of 2 very different computer systems here, I use standard PC'S with Windows and LINUX and I use my trusty Mac so when I heard about a small sound device that could be plugged into all my machines without any need for drivers I was most interested hence the arrival of my Imic today. I felt cheated there for a while when i received the box, something as small as this promising me good audio quality? My missgivings increased upon the opening of the box to discover that the Imic is about 1 and a half inches round, it looks almost comical, like one of those toys we used to play with as kids, like an oversized watch or a standard sized lollypop but the outside looks I can assure you having tested this little beauty are truly deceptive. The Imic plugs into a USB 2.0 port of your computer and as I've already stated, whether you're a fan of your Mac or of your PC makes no difference whatsoever, just plug the Imic in and you have another sound device, great for those laptop systems that don't have a full sound device built-in. The layout of the Imic is extremely simple, just 2 3.5MM minijack stereo sockets and 1 switch. One socket is for line-out whilst the other is for line-in/stereo microphone, the switch toggles the line- in socket between microphone and line-in. So how does it perform? just as good as any other sound card or device as I said earlier, I'm amazed. How do you know its connected? With the Mac you see it available as an audio input/output device. In Windows, you'll see it in the list of audio devices under the audio tab in Sound. How much is an Imic? An absolute steal at $50.00 Australia, that's what I paid for mine. A CD ROM comes with the Imic but as yet I haven't examined its contents, I've had no need to.
