Connecting External Audio Devices
The computer features three connectors for external audio devices.
■
Connect an external microphone to the microphone jack.
■
Connect stereo speakers, headphones, or a headset to the
stereo speaker/headphone jack.
■
Connect an external stereo player such as a CD player, stereo
tuner, or tape deck to the stereo line-in jack.
Microphone Jack
The microphone jack supports a single sound channel (monaural)
microphone with a 3.5-mm plug.
A powered electret condenser microphone is recommended.
Other types of microphones, such as stereo or dynamic, are not
recommended. A stereo microphone will record the left channel
on both the left and right channels. A dynamic microphone lacks
the recommended sensitivity.
When an external microphone is connected to the computer, the
computer’s internal microphone is disabled.
Stereo Speaker/Headphone Jack
The stereo speaker/headphone jack supports external stereo
speakers, headphones, or a headset. External speakers can provide
more separation for the left and right audio channels, more
volume, and higher quality sound.
Use only a 3.5-mm stereo plug. For best sound quality,
headphones should be 32 ohms, and external speakers should be
at least 8 ohms.
When external stereo speakers, headphones, or a headset is
connected to the computer, the computer’s internal speakers
are disabled.
!
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, adjust the volume
control before putting on headphones.
CAUTION:
Use only a 3.5 mm stereo plug in the stereo speaker/
headphone jack. A single sound channel (monaural) plug in the
stereo speaker/headphone jack may damage the computer.
