Hello.
I am an absolute beginner to audio recording on my iMac. I have an iMac G4 and Logic (of the Logic BIG BOX set) I am quite accompished at MIDI, but i have absolutely no idea what to do now i want to use my recently bought microphone. I have just bought an AKG C1000S and tried plugging it in to my Mac direct. Is this not possible? Does the line-in not accept microphones? Please, could someone tell me what other things i need, what connectors i will need with them and where they will connect to? I know it's all probably very basic stuff, but i really need to know in simple plain english, just for the first time.... Thankyou! Adam Casciaro |

Adam the AKG C1000S is a condenser mic, it needs phantom power to work ,it comes whit XLR plugs ,so you will need a pre amp interface ,that comes whit phantom power. and XLR PLUG INS AND USB or firewire ,to conect to your computer,
