Can I plug my Dynamic Mic to MBP Retina 13"?

Hi All,
Very soon I will be buying a MacBook Pro with Retina Display 13 inch and I was wondering if I could plug my Dynamic mic into it? My microphone has a XLR output and it includes a XLR to 1/4. I will buy an adapter (3.5mm to 1/4) off ebay so my final output will be a 3.5mm, just like the MBP Retina 13 inch's.
So my question is will this mic work with the computer I will be purchasing, thankyou.

The Retina MBP does not have an audio input.  It only has a headphone output.   (Although it will work with the iPhone headset that has a microphone.)
You will need a USB or Thunderbolt audio interface.  Here are a few suggesions:
Griffin iMic
Focusrite
M-Audio
If you are buying new and want a MacBook Pro that has a built-in audio input port,  you need to go with the 15" regular MacBook Pro.

  • Can you plug in a mic on a Macbook Pro?

    I've noticed on the Macbook pro that there's no input for a mic. I'm wondering, HOW can i plug in a microphone ona  macbook pro?

    I have a MacBook Pro and to the left of my headphone jack is an SD card slot, to the right there is nothing. Next to the SD slot are 2 USB ports, then the video port, then the firewire port, then the network jack.
    Why don't I have a line level input? I just bought this MBP a few months ago (Sept.2012) to replace an older MBP I bought in Nov.2009) which also does not have the line in jack you speak of.
    My experience with USB mics is that there is a lag between audio and video. They can also cause video recording software to lock up or become jittery.

  • I need a wireless mic that can be plugged into my MacBook Air. What do you recommmend

    I am looking for a wireless microphone that can be used for a meeting. I already have speaker however I am looking for a wireless mic that can be plugged into the MacBook Air (which I purchased last year). Nothing fancy, just something inexpensive and easy to use...

    Must be wireless?

    any genuine good mic will NOT be a 1/8th mic jack microphone,  rather USB
    The best mic at yet a low cost is one adapted from a quality XLR mic retrofitted for USB
    Audio Technica AT2020  USB
    depends on what you mean by "inexpensive",  the AT2020 is $130,  which for a microphone, a quality one, is extremely cheap.

    Quality mics are not made by computer parts makers,     rather retrofitted mics made by genuine microphone manufacturers.

  • Can I plug a Roland Mini Cube into my Imac G5?

    I usually play everything by hookin' my LP to a M-Audio AUDIO BUDDY (pre-amp) then outta that into my Imac G5 - I use Amplitube and Guitar Rig software within LOGIC EXPRESS... I have a couple of old amps that suck - was thinking of purchasing a Roland Mini Cube this weekend - can I plug the output (headphone out) into the pre-amp and then into my G5? Wanna use Logic Express as my base - I can mic it I know but can I go direct? Will it burn out my sound chip in my Imac?

    Why don't you plug your guitar directly into the Audio Buddy and then use Amplitube and Guitar Rig to obtain the sound you want?
    cheers

  • Can Logic plug ins remove background noise from interview?

    Can Logic plug ins remove background noise from interview?
    A friend with an important interview recorded in noisy conditions has asked me to help remove background noise - never done this technically.
    Is there a Logic or third party plug in that would could remove background noise from a spoken word interview? Have tried EQ which improves the sound slightly but not a solution.
    Anyone with specialised knowledge of this sound editing operation?
    cheers
    MS

    There are several 3rd party denoisers, they mostly work by first 'learning' the noise footprint of the audio, for which it is best to record a few seconds of silence (with an open mic).
    These will all do a decent to excellent (it all depends on the source material) job:

    http://www.kvraudio.com/get/1029.html
    Addit:
    Is it that background noise (traffic, talking etc) drowns out the words? Then you'd probably have more luck with (radical) eq-ing and/or notch filtering to find the most dominant frequency range of the speaker in relation to the background noise.
    As an interviewer myself I will point out that even with a small disctaphone you need to have some awareness of how the microphone picks up things. As soon as you nead to lean towards whoever you're talking to, just to make sure you're audible, the dictaphone on the table is probably recording mainly ambient noise, the interview being part of that. This is especially a problem when interviewing in a busy public space.

  • What is the details specification of the internal Mic of MBP mid-2012?

    I've been wondering, what is the specs of the internal mic? It sure is great for normal chat or facetiming, but it doesn't sound very good for studio-recording tier.

    The built-in mic is a very tiny mic. About 1/4" overall and the actual capsule is even smaller.  In the MBP models that I am familiar with, it's located under the left speaker grille.  As a single mic, it can only generate a mono signal but the final data stream is stereo with identical L & R channels.  Given its size and location under the grille it's an amazing performer but you cannot expect it to match a studio mic.
    In AudioMidi Setup you can adjust the built-in mic's sample rate, bit rate and gain to some extent.   However, I have never found this particularly useful.
    If you are doing studio recordings (or anything where you require fidelity and/or true stereo), you need to get yourself a couple of good external microphones.   MacBook Pros used to have a multipurpose stereo analog audio input (up to the mid-2012 models) but newer models do not.  Depending on the model you have, you may be able to use the analog audio input or you may have to get a USB mic, adapter or mixer.

  • How do I get my UDID number from my ipod if I can't plug it into itunes?  Apple took it back because it was broken and gave me a new one but I have games and apps that can only be moved over with the UDID from the old pod.

    How do you get the UDID number from your ipod if you don't have the ipod anymore.  The apple store took it because it wasn't working so I can't plug it in to get the number.  Some of my apps are associated wtih that number and I can't move them to my new Ipad without that number.  Any ideas?

    Hi KT. I restored my information back to November 10th and the one app that I need the info on is still empty like I just downloaded it. Do you have another suggestion? I was able to track down my serial number but can't get the UDID without plugging it in and I no longer have it. Suggestions?

  • My laptop died, how can I plug my ipod classic into a new pc with out losing all my music, over 10,000 songs?!

    my laptop died, how can I plug my ipod classic into a new pc with out losing all my music, over 10,000 songs?!
    Please help!

    Was your iPod previously set up to Manually Manage (where you dragged/dropped the music) or was it set to auto sync (where it started sycning as soon as you plugged it in.)?
    If it was set to Manual, you have no worries. Just continue on your way.
    If it was set to Auto, you will have to transfer your purchases or redownload them from the iTunes store.
    You're either going to have to get the other music back from the websites/CDs you got them from before or find an iPod ripping software program that will do it for you.

  • How can I do a dynamic include of a page fragment?

    I have a technical support website with a lot of simple html pages. What I want to do is hyperlink from the index page to another page, which would display these html pages as a page fragment, dynamically based on a session bean set by the hyperlink.
    I basically want to do this, if it was possible:
    <jsp:directive.include file="#{SessionBean1.pageToDisplay}"/>
    Now the FAQ's has a topic "How can I do a dynamic include of a page fragment?", which would seem to answer my question.
    But this is all it says, and it makes no sense to me. Could someone please translate? :)
    "Using a page fragment file (but using instead of the usual Creator approach) will accomplish a dynamic include."

    Here is 1 solution:
    First add this to the jsp:root tag:
    xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"
    Then surround the page fragment directive with something like this:
                            <div style="position: absolute; left: 24px; top: 408px">
                                <c:if test="${SessionBean1.count > 0}">
                                    <jsp:directive.include file="testPF.jspf"/>
                                </c:if>
                            </div>

  • Can I plug my iPad into an outlet in France for recharging, or do I need a converter (besides de adapter...)?

    Can I plug in my 110v iPad second gen. charger into 220v charger. I have an adapter for this outlet. Thanks!

    FOr this and anything, read the fine print on the charger. It should say that it takes an input of 100 - 240v. That means all it needs is an adapter. If it doesn't have that number range then don't plug it in. (like stedman says, official apple chargers are rated for world wide power)

  • HT1665 I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad. can the plug adapters also be used on the Mac Pro charger to charge up my laptop when travelling or is a special converter needed.M

    I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad when traveling abroad. I know this charger can be used on an iPhone, can the plug adapters also be used with the charger of a Mac Book Pro or is a special converter required?

    Is there any concern about the type of travel adapter kit? For instance, some instructions indicate they are for heat creating appliances (hairdryers, curling irons, etc.). I bought such a set, but do they present any issues if used with more delicate electronic circuitry (for iPads, iPods, or with camera battery chargers). I am leaving for the UK on Monday and need to get it right - are they too strong for the Apple products if they are not to be used with computers? What other options are out there?

  • Can we set the dynamic data source when using getReportParameters() ?

    Hello!
    I have a report where one of its parameters refers to a list of values (LOVs). This list of values is an SQL Query type. When the data source used in the report is defined in the BI Publisher server, I'm able to get the report parameters using the getReportParameters() function in my application. However, if the data source is not defined the function throws an exception, which is understandable.
    I decided to dynamically set the data source so that even if the data source used by the report is not defined in the BI Publisher server, it still will be able to get the LOVs for the parameter. I tried setting the JDBCDataSource of the dynamicDataSource for the ReportRequest object that I passed to the getReportParameters() function. Please see the sample code below:
    reportRequest.dynamicDataSource = new BIP10.BIPDataSource();
    reportRequest.dynamicDataSource.JDBCDataSource = new BIP10.JDBCDataSource();
    setReportDataSource(reportRequest.dynamicDataSource.JDBCDataSource, connectstr, jdbc, dc); //function to set the values for JDBCDataSource object
    reportParams = webrs.getReportParameters(reportRequest, uid, pwd); //call the getReportParameters
    I was expecting this to work as this is what I did to dynamically set the data source before calling the runReport function. So, my question is -- can we set the dynamic data source when using getReportParameters() ? I tried this both in versions 10g and 11g. It does not seem to work on both versions.

    report_id column of apex_application_page_ir_rpt can help us uniquely identify each saved report.
    We can assign this report_id value to a page item and this page item can be put in the Report ID Item text box of the Advanced section of the Report Attributes page of the IR.
    This should load the saved report identified by report_id and you can get rid of javascript
