I assume there is a link within the Apple website for the Owner's Manual I seek, but I can't seem to locate it.
Can someone direct me?
Thank you.
iMac (M1, 2021)
Diagrams with lines and info are here:
Take a tour: iMac - Apple Support
The microphones (multiple) are located on the top edge of the iMac. They may be near impossible to see due to the way the case is laser drilled.
Often, questions like this are best answered with a teardown site. I can't link but a good one starts with "i", has "fix" in the middle and ends with "it".
There are three microphones present in that iMac. Two are top-located (for noise cancellation), and one is facing forward near the camera. They’re usually little more than pinholes.
While I haven’t used the microphone in an iMac M1 2021, for other Mac models an external (quality) microphone has provided far better sound. I’ve been using an AT2020 USB cardioid condenser, and there are other fine choices.

Yeah. I used the full model name and “Teardown” into DuckDuckGo, a couple of clicks to get to the teardown webpage itself, and then a webpage text search for “microphone”.
If you have questions about how to use the macOS, you might bookmark and refer to this link:
You're welcome. 🙂
Thanks for the response. I have already looked at that link, however I am looking specifically for the location of the micrphone on my iMac and I do not see that information within this link.
Is that info there and I'm just missing it?
Is there a diagram with arrows that shows the location of the microphone?
Plus you get a lot of bonus info to satisfy your geek-craving.
THAT is what I was looking for.
Thank you D. I.!
Where can I get an Owner's Manual for my M1 2021 24" iMac?
