So I think you still need some transformer/amplifier to plug in an external microphone. This is true of the 15" flat-panel iMacs that we have. I am speculating that the 17" iMac is the same in that regard. I wish we could convince Apple that we need a mic input, in addition to a line input (which used to be available on Macs).
