Mic For Mac Mini Late 2012

All Mac Mini Users,


What type of mic is suitable for the late 2012 model?


I prefer not to use usb mic and looking for a mic that can be plugged via audio in (not via headphone jack)


I have seen some after market mic with a green and pink socket.

As specified below, yo need to use the optical audion in which is aplso connected to the 3.5 mm headphne jack. You need a mic (or mic and conversion box) to inputs SPDIF optical audio input.

The Audio In port accommodates both digital optical input and analog audio input.

Analog audio line input is accepted through a 3.5mm mini phone jack. The sound input port accepts line-level stereo signals up to 24-bit stereo 44.1-192kHz sampling rate. It also accepts a stereo miniplug-to-RCA cable adapter for connecting stereo equipment to the computer.

Optical audio input is SPDIF format and uses a standard TOSLINK cable with a TOSLINK mini-plug adapter, accepting up to 24-bit stereo and 44.1-96kHz sampling rate.
