Griffin iMic Control 1.5
Griffin iMic Control - Driver for the USB microphone more>>
Currently the iMic control supports output treble, bass, volume, balance, and mute as well as input gain. Some functions such as audio input gain require that you hot plug the iMic before the new settings take effect.
Enhancements:
- iMic Control 1.5 includes an adjustable input gain control. This allows users to adjust their sound input level when recording music or voice into the Mac. This is especially useful for people recording sound into iMovie. Although iMovie can record voiceovers and music directly, it has no way of adjusting the level of sound being recorded. The combination of iMic Control 1.5 software and an iMic gives this very important control back to the user.
- Another key feature included in iMic Control 1.5 is Bass and Treble control. Although many individual apps include multi-band Equalizers, there has never been a way to control the Bass and Treble of the Mac itself. What if the overall sound of an iBook needs more bass? Or a user wants to adjust the Treble of external speakers? With the free iMic Control software they have both settings available to their Mac to adjust its sound any way they desire.
