mircophone to USB
 

Anyone know if there's such thing as a microphone jack to USB?

my microphone in on the back of my laptop has failed on my last few shoots, right when I need it most. So I was wondering if I could put it into a convertor and use the USB port, but as you could imagine searching through sites they all just bring up what each computer has.


thanks in advance

This is what we use on our boxes of Fruit both to get higher quality input/output and for the machines lacking these input/outputs.

Not sure if it works with other OSs, but since it doesn't require any drivers it might.

Cleo thanks so much that looks absolutely perfect for what I need. now I just have to find a UK seller but thanks so much, it's much cheaper than the idea of getting my laptop fixed at £100 for a microphone port!

I see that they do have a page up for using it with Windows.

Apple ships worldwide and they sell it through their online store.

thanks freeway for that, a bit out of my range for what I need, but I'd love one anyway.

eventually went for the iMic and got it from Amazon.co.uk think it's the first thing I've ever purchased from Amazon.


Once again a big thanks.

I buy from Amazon all the time. I got a new cell phone a few months ago. It showed up ready to use.

I've bought stuff for my kitchen , a new vacuum cleaner, CDs, I just bought the 40 gig iPod from them.

Amazon rocks. :)
