How to Connect a Bluetooth Mic to a MacBook

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology that transmits audio and other data between different types of electronic equipment. MacBook computers, first introduced in 2006, have always included built-in Bluetooth. Once you connect a Bluetooth microphone to a Macbook, you can set it to act as the audio input for the computer.

Instructions

1. Click the "Bluetooth" icon in the menu bar at the top of the MacBook screen and select "Setup Bluetooth Device."

2. Follow the onscreen instructions to establish a connection to the microphone. Use the passkey included in the documentation that came with the microphone to verify the device.

3. Click the "Apple" menu and highlight "System Preferences." Click the "Sound" icon.

4. Go to the "Input" tab. Click on the microphone in the list of input devices. Adjust the input volume at the bottom of the screen if necessary.
