So I have this 27" iMac that I got off my cousin because he is moving to the States for work. Not terribly sure what model it is, its just under a year so I think early 2009 model?

Thing is, when I tried to use my headset on it, the mic wont detect sound. I set the input in system preferences to line-in. But it still wont work. I read somewhere that the line in is not for microphones and I would need a preamp. Is that correct?
