Macintosh Computer Systems

DynEd recommends the use of a USB headset with your Macintosh computer systems. Since the Macintosh microphone connectors are not compatible with standard headsets, using a USB headset give you more consistent results. The following machines do not have microphone inputs: iBook, PowerBook G4, iMac (LCD Flat Panel), eMac, Power Macintosh G4 (Cube, Digital Audio, Quicksilver, Mirrored Drive Doors & FireWire 800), Power Macintosh G5, and the iMac G5.
