I would only caution you that there are two types of microphones for the
Mac -- regular mics and "PlainTalk" microphones. I suspect you are
talking about a PlainTalk mic. The obvious distinguishing difference is
the "longer than normal" male plug connector on the PlainTalk mic. It's
not left/right stereo but rather the long connector is for supplying
power to the mic. I can never remember all the various types of mics --
some are passive, some active -- electret, condenser, etc. In any event,
I believe the mic requires power and so is probably "active" and if
memory serves me a condenser mic. But someone else can clarify that. I
don't know the technical specs.
