[QUOTE="krs, post: 1847525, member: 67742"] everymac.com shows a sound in and a sound out port for the 2016 MacBook Pro model. If that is correct, then the headphone jack would be doing double duty and you need a 3.5mm 4 Pole 3 Ring Plug for audio in. But that assumes everymac is correct and that is not always the case. The other option is to use a simple 3.5mm jack to USB converter than can be bought for less than $10.- But I have no experience how well those work, maybe some member has tried one. In both cases, audio in would only be mono, not stereo. Here is a possible cable that [B]might[/B] work - again, maybe someone has actually tried this and can report back.

Someone must have tried it and can report back. What doesn't help is that Apple is not clear at all which MacBook Pros have that capability and which don't. The other thing to remember is that Macs typically have "Line Inputs" which are not suitable for most Mikes since their output level is too low. [/QUOTE]
