Adding a Mircrophone to my Quicksilver
« on: September 23, 2003, 10:12:51 AM »
I want to add a Mircrophone to my Quicksilver 933 which does not have an audio-in jack.

I'm thinking of going with this USB microphone.

Logitech USB microphone


Do I need to add a card of any sort? Since the QuickSilver has USB built in I'm guessing it would be plug and play but I just thought I'd ask. Maybe someone has done this.

At least for OS X.

If you already have a Microphone you might consider the Griffin iMic.

Hey Gary, I bought the Griffen iMic about 1 1/2 yrs. ago, and have had absolutely NO trouble with it; I'm running a tuner and a record player through it (not at the same time!), and it works perfectly. . .

iMic.....I missed it. sad.gif

I left for Wausau and I bought the Logitech microphone and a set of Altec Lansing speakers with a sub woofer and 2 tweeters. It ought to work well. I'm tired of the Apple Pro speakers....no bass.

I may get the iMic too, now that I know about it. I suppose I have to buy that from Apple.????

I bought the Logitech microphone and the Altec Lansing speakers at Best Buy. I got the speakers for $39.95...$10 off the regular price. smile.gif

I got the Griffen iMic- Great for audio in, but the audio out has very poor bass, especially when going into an external component amp (not as bad when going into an all-in-one stereo.

hope you enjoy it

Thanks Peter.

I haven't hooked them up yet. They're actually a present for my son's birthday. He asked for them so....kind of killing 2 birds with one stone. wink.gif
