iSub and New iMac?

evil ed

Hi



Just wondering, does anyone know if the iSub will work with the new iMac and it's Pro Speakers?



Thanks

The iSub will work with any USB mac out now, including the new iMac.



This thread belongs in "Current Hardware."

I'd like to believe you but I found the following on the Apple website with regards to the iSub's compatibility:



Note: Compatible with slot-loading iMacs with CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and CD-RW drives running Mac OS 9.x. Also compatible with 466MHz, 533MHz, 667MHz, and 733MHz PowerMac G4 models with Apple Pro Speakers connected. Not compatible with the Power Mac G4 Cube.



It may not be up to date but it doesn't sound like any USB Mac will run it.



And yes, please move this to Current Hardware please, mods.

I'm fairly sure things have changed since that post. In any rate, the new iMac should be safe because it shares the same audio technology as the G4 towers now that it outputs to the pro speakers.

Yes the iSub works with the new iMac. I read it on Apple's site last night.

Are we sure about this? That's great! I rmember for the longest time, the iSub ONLY worked with slot-loading iMacs. You had to buy the 3-piece SoundSticks set up for use with other stuff.



Is there now a newer version of the standalone iSub? Mine is about 18 months old, with a green light. I notice a buddy of mine who owns the Soundsticks has a blue light on his AND a little volume knob on the iSub!



Anyone?
