" Connecting Speakers and Other Audio Devices Your MacBook Pro comes with two built-in speakers, a built-in microphone, an audio line in/optical digital audio in port, and a headphone/optical digital audio out (f ) port. You can connect external speakers, headphones, 5. 1 surround systems, and other sound output devices to the headphone (f ) port. When devices are plugged in, sound won't come through your built-in speakers. You can record sound onto your hard disk using the built-in microphone located under the left speaker grille. You can also connect external microphones or other audio equipment to the audio line in port. The audio line in port is also a S/PDIF stereo 3. 5 mini-phono jack, which does not provide power to a connected device, so you must use self-powered peripherals. Using a Toslink jack-to-miniplug adapter, you can use a Toslink cable to connect Digital Audio Tape (DAT) decks or digital instruments to input and mix your own music.
