[comp.sys.apple] Sound input on Apple

DANFUZZ@BROWNVM.BITNET (Dan Bornstein) (02/16/89)

If you have a IIgs, the cheapest way is making your own a/d prep box ($5
from Radio Shack) which consists of a 1.5V battery hooked inline with
an analog input source (i.e. a plug for said source), and, if you want to
get fancy, a switch so you don't risk zapping your Ensoniq when un/plugging
sources. Oh yeah, you need a 2-pin Molex for the GS side (which Radio Shack
doesn't sell).

If you don't have a GS, and you don't need the full audio spectrum (you said
20 data points per second), I reccomend the a/d d/a board Applied Engineering
puts out. It has 8 d/a outputs (8 bit and fast enough for real sound (A lot of
Apple Cat sound programs can be and have been (by me) converted to work with th
is card)) and 8 a/d inputs. I used the a/d for a project having to do with stre
ss levels in speech, so it should be okay for your purposes.
