Mic does 24bit 96KHz recording!!
Authored by: egz4u2 on Apr 07, '06 11:21:39PM

Hint says capturing low quality spoken word NPR.

Perhaps the details are missing here......

I have a lot of recording experience, mixing, mastering, etc. I just replaced a PB lost in fire, ( with ALL gear!) it was bertha 17" PB G4 1.67GHz. I was in some cafe, and curious, I hit record..... it's mono - speaker also mono - but amazing performance.......
Yeah, there is a S/PDIF I/O - but the microphone ( Actually are there two? ) actually had a great clear sound, it surprised me, the old Plain Talk was a bit longer than stereo 1/8" mini - kicked on a Mic Amp ( which was over 15 years old..... fine for - yeah telephony.....

But everyone asked where the gear was.... no one asked Mic type.... If you look in About this Mac/ More Info - System profiler - Audio

It records 24 bit/ 96KHz - OK, the speaker on a PB lacks a subwoofer, ROFL.... but the Mic is actually an amazing hunk of technology. Core Audio uses 32 bit floats..... and I'd record with 2 in stereo ANY TIME!

I believe in time, I see MP3 & AAC as standard - not even a CD. That is amazing for a built in mic! Very classy Apple....
