Insta360 Launches Mic Pro With E‑Ink IDs and Triple‑Mic Audio

The goal is a faster, cleaner workflow for creators who juggle busy shoots.

Overview

  • The Mic Pro, which Insta360 introduced Tuesday, is on sale now with a two‑transmitter, one‑receiver kit starting at $329.99 and a single‑transmitter option at $99.99.
  • Each transmitter features a customizable E‑Ink screen that shows a logo or name pushed from the app, stays visible when powered off, and remains readable in bright sun while using little power.
  • A three‑microphone array per transmitter uses onboard DSP to switch among cardioid, omnidirectional, or figure‑8 pickup, while an NPU applies AI noise reduction to keep voices clear in noisy spaces.
  • For safety and sync, the system records 32‑bit float audio to 32GB of internal storage on each transmitter and offers timecode via a TCXO oscillator rated to drift less than one frame in 24 hours.
  • New workflow modes expand routing, with 4‑to‑1 linking four mics to one receiver for isolated tracks and 2‑to‑4 sending two mics to four receivers, plus optional four‑channel digital output on select Sony cameras.
