The original USB
audio adapter! iMic lets Mac and PC users add stereo input and output to USB
computers even if they lack audio-in or -out ports.
iMic allows you to connect
many microphones and sound input devices to your iBook, PowerBook, PowerMac
or other Mac or PC systems with a USB port. iMic supports both mic and line
level inputs via a selectable switch, and provides a line-level output for
connecting speakers or headphones.
iMic shines as the essential tool
for converting your vinyl LP and tape collection into MP3s and CDs.
Recording records and tapes through iMic directly from your turntable or
tape deck is super easy. The included CD-ROM provides all the software you
need: for Mac users, Final Vinyl (with advanced features such as
waveform-based cue editing and 10-band EQ, including a special RIAA filter
that properly equalizes LPs without having to connect your turntable to a
pre-amp); and, for PC users, the popular open-source, full-featured
recording application, Audacity.
Use iMic to make your own
recordings, too -- it's great for home studio recording and podcasting. Plug
microphones and musical instruments directly into iMic. iMic is compatible
with modern hardware to provide the perfect solution for sound recording in
almost any audio application, including GarageBand, iMovie, and Final Cut
Pro.
The iMic package also includes a
special stereo audio cable with a ground connector, to prevent hum or line
noise when recording directly from a turntable. It's everything you need to
become home-recording-ready, in one package.
