microphone input
Sound capture port
Microphone input is a connection point or channel where audio from a microphone enters a device—a computer, mixer, amplifier, or recording interface.
The term covers both the physical jack and the software setting: Check your microphone input in system preferences.
Input distinguishes it from output, where sound exits.
