Is the problem with the footage on the camcorder, or is the problem with
the transfer to the Mac? If the camcorder footage sounds OK played back
through a regular TV (or through headphones), then the problem is the latter.

If the problem is the latter, then you need a line hookup between the
audio output on the camcorder and the audio input on the Mac. Never copy
a sound track by playing it through a speaker and recording it through another
mike!

If you're using the built-in audio input on the Quadra, then you may need
some kind of microphone mixer to get the level right.
