In Apple's special lighting, showing off the beautiful new display, the nano-texture glass was an enigma.

I first experienced nano-texture glass when Apple announced the XDR Pro Display at WWDC in 2019. If like me, however, you work in a backlit room or otherwise have always wanted Apple to make a matte display for its iMac, let me explain the gloriousness of nano-texture. If you've never cared for or felt the need for a matte screen, you might think the $500 price tag is pretty high.
There are going to be a lot of people that don't see what the big deal is. Let me explain the gloriousness of nano-texture.

That's because Apple added the option to upgrade to nano-texture glass for $500 more.

Most common these days are external USB interfaces.Though the new 27-inch iMac still has a 5K retina display with DCI-P3 color processing, 500 nits brightness, and and 10-bit dithering, the update for 2020 is, in my opinion, the biggest news of this iMac mode. Often these problems can be solved with DI-boxes, but the only real solution is to use a proper audio interface. In practice however, my experience is that recording over consumer sound cards is always lottery, you must expect to end up with unacceptable amounts of static, strange distortions etc.
However, this question isn't really relevant because what you have there is not such a microphone – you obviously do not plug in the mic itself but the receiver, which is for the purpose of recording just an ordinary line-level device and should as such offer easily enough signal level to feed any input. For condenser mics, this doesn't work at all because they need 48 V phantom power, and dynamic mics have too low signal levels for the low-quality on-chip mic preamps that are used in virtually all consumer-grade sound cards, so it does work (using an XLR -> 3.5 mm adapter, which is, like, never done) but with a horrible SNR. To answer the title question: no, a professional microphone cannot be plugged into a computer to produce in any way acceptable results. The low audio level issue remained, however. When I switched to the Line In, the static went away. are the audio systems for PAs and PCs not quite compatible? Do I need to get some sort of mixer/amp to sit between the mic and PC? Could the fact that the cable is TS on the 1/4" side, but TRS on the 3.5mm side have any effect? Is this just what I need to expect from a cheap wireless mic?Įdit: To add a piece of info I discovered later, the "high level of static" I referenced above appeared to be due to the fact that I was plugging this into the Mic In of my sound card. (Turning the power off at the mic doesn't affect the static, but turning it off at the receiver cuts the static immediately.) I'd be able to compensate for this, but the mic receiver is also injecting a rather high level of static into the audio. I can use Audacity to record sound from the microphone, but even with the volume all the way up on both the microphone receiver and the sound card input, the vocal audio is moderate. I also purchased a 1/4" to 3.5mm cord to plug the mic into my computer. I purchased a cheap wireless handheld microphone (Nady DKW-3), of the style used in PAs and such.
