Where is the microphone in the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro? It’s here: In this mesh grille to the left of the MacBook Pro keyboard. (the speakers are not in the grilles – the speakers fire downward through slots underneath)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, there’s a Shure Beta 58A microphone in the pics. However, that’s only for the Instagram post<\/a> and for the voice-over I’m about to record. But this recording is done with the internal microphone to the left of the keyboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unthinkable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both done on same desk, in same location. NO EDITING<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
