Griffin updates iMic USB audio adapter

Griffin just updated their venerable iMic product to support "modern hardware."  You can pre-order the new (now in "iMac-white!") device for $39.99 and expect it to ship in about a month.

The Griffin iMic has been a good friend to me over the years. Being a Cube fanatic, the iMic was a no-brainer purchase for me years ago when I wanted to be able to connect my TDK Tremor speakers and also rip some old tapes and LPs onto my USB-audio-only Cube.

The iMic allows you to connect virtually any microphone or sound input device to your USB-equipped Mac and it supports both mic and line level input as well as variable level output for speakers or headphones. It ships with a great piece of software called Final Vinyl which makes digitizing cassettes and records a snap – it can record LPs without even having to connect your turntable to a preamp. Just use the included mini-jack to RCA adapter cable  to connect the turntable directly to the iMic.

The iMic is compatible with most audio and music applications and your Mac will need just OS X and a USB port to use it. Windows users will need Windows 98SE, 2000 or XP.
