Typically, a mic jack (or microphone input) is designed for audio input, not output. It receives audio signals from a microphone rather than sending sound to speakers or headphones. However, some devices may allow for alternate configurations, but this is not standard practice. For sound output, it's best to use dedicated output jacks like headphone or line-out ports.

In imovie the built in mic sucks how can you record with your own mic?

You will need to use your own digital voice recorder and then import the audio into the computer to put into iMovie. If you have a USB microphone you can plug that in to use. If the microphone has a jack plug you will need an adapter to connect the mic to a USB socket. The built in mic is not too bad it can be adjusted in the Input section of Sound in System Preferences.

How do you connect mic mixer to denon receiver?

To connect a mic mixer to a Denon receiver, use the appropriate output from the mic mixer, typically a balanced XLR or 1/4-inch TRS output. Connect this output to one of the audio inputs on the Denon receiver, such as a line-level input or an auxiliary input. Ensure that the receiver is set to the correct input source and adjust the volume levels on both the mixer and receiver for optimal sound. Finally, check for any necessary settings on the receiver to accommodate the mixer input.

What kind of vocal mic can you use with your HP computer?

Using a sound input that is built into a computer isn't the best solution: An external sound card will normally produce better results but whether you use a built in sound card or an external one, there are two or three ways to connect a microphone. A dynamic mic can connect directly to the 3.5mm microphone input jack. Most of the lower cost mics are dynamic although there are many studio mics available. A condenser mic can be used but they normally need a voltage on the input connector to power them. Condenser mics are normally the preferred choice for recording and they can be used if a "phantom power supply" is connected between the mic and the input. With any microphone, an adaptor may be needed from either a 1/4" jack or an XLR connector to the 3.5mm socket. Many electronics stores will have the right adaptors. An alternative is to use an external mixer. One or more microphones can be connected to it and the output will be at a higher level than a single microphone and is likely to offer a better quality sound capture than using a microphone level into the sound card.

How do you record with a peavey 6505 plus?

To record with a Peavey 6505 Plus, first connect the amplifier's speaker output to a load box or an attenuator to prevent damage and allow for silent recording. Then, use a microphone to capture the sound by placing it in front of the speaker cabinet, adjusting the mic placement for desired tone. Connect the mic to an audio interface or mixer to record into your digital audio workstation (DAW). Alternatively, you can use a direct output from the amp (if available) for a cleaner signal.
