For a microphone alone your only real choice is a PlainTalk. This mic uses an extra long connector that has an additional contact for power. Someone makes a preamplifier that uses this connector and it works with other microphones. You can also just plug in a stereo mini plug with a line level signal and use it (from a CD player, VCR, etc). Othere than that adapter the other way to hook up a mic is to use a conventional microphone preamp. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
