Griffin iMic

USB Audio Interface

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.
