– AI noise reduction and 32-bit float recording to prevent overmodulation and reduce ambient noise
– 32 GB onboard memory (up to 60 hours) and a 1.22-inch round E-Ink display for personalized logos/names
– Flexible multi-mic setup: up to four mics per receiver or four receivers per mic for multi-camera/SI use; ten-hour battery (30 hours with charging case)
The Insta360 Mic Pro immediately draws attention among wireless microphones, with a quirky round E-Ink display measuring 1.22 inches diagonally that can show six colors. The accompanying smartphone app lets you choose the image displayed on each mic, enabling logos or names for personalized branding, for instance.
Design and memory
The 19.7 gram body holds three microphones and is crafted to avoid overmodulation thanks to 32-bit float recording. It can capture omni-directional or super-directional sound and includes AI-based noise reduction to minimize ambient disturbances. With 32 GB of onboard memory, up to 60 hours of audio can be stored directly on the mic, ensuring sound data isn’t lost even if transmission to the camera has issues.
Connectivity and range
The accompanying receiver enables wireless connections to conventional cameras and smartphones. Some devices, like the Insta360 X5, Ace Pro 2, and Go Ultra, do not require a receiver for use. Up to four microphones can be linked to a single receiver, and alternatively, a single mic can pair with up to four receivers to broadcast sound to several cameras concurrently. The mic’s battery supports ten hours of use, or 30 hours when paired with the charging case.
Availability and pricing
The Insta360 Mic Pro is currently offered through various channels, including the manufacturer’s online store. A bundle containing a receiver, two microphones, and a charging case is priced at $329, with additional microphones available for $99 each.
