Anyone have any ideas why I can't record sounds using a Sony microphone?
It's an ECM 959-A stereo mike and I'm plugging it directly into the Sound
In port of my 7200.

Looking at the manual I see that the 7200:

"supports the Apple PlainTalk Microphone...and a standard stereo
(miniplug-to-RCA) cable adapter for connecting stereo equipment to your
computer"

I guess the clue is here, but what is a miniplug-to-RCA adapter?

Elsewhere it says:

"...you can use the Apple PlainTalk Microphone which comes with some
Macintosh computers (or a compatible line-level microphone) to record your
voice or other sounds."

I using the Sound Control Panel but all I 'record' is silence.

Thanks in advance.

David
