Chapter 3 Using Your Mac mini 51
Audio In/Optical Digital Audio In Port
You can connect external microphones or other audio equipment to the audio in/
optical digital audio in (,) port. The audio in port is also a S/PDIF stereo 3.5 mini-
phono jack.
The audio in port does not provide power to a connected device, so you must use self-
powered devices. You can use a Toslink cable and a Toslink jack-to-miniplug adapter to
connect a Digital Audio Tape (DAT) deck or digital instruments to input and mix your
own music.
