Insta360 introduced its new Mic Pro wireless microphone with color E-Ink display and 32-bit float recording support. The features of the device are in our news.
Insta360, one of the leading brands in the camera and content creator equipment market, has made a major innovation in the field of audio technologies and officially announces the Insta360 Mic Pro wireless microphone system.
This premium audio system developed specifically for broadcasters, podcast producers, theater groups and event professionals; It stands out from its Competitors with its colorful E-Ink screen on its transmitters, triple microphone array and internal artificial intelligence processor (NPU).
This device, which can act as both a standalone voice recorder and a live wireless microphone, completely changes the workflow of content creators in professional production environments.
E-Ink Screen Era in the Wireless Microphone World
The most striking and distinctive innovation of the Insta360 Mic Pro model is the 1.22-inch 6-color E-Ink screen located on the transmitter units.
In traditional wireless microphones, colored tapes or sticky notes are often used to understand which device belongs to whom. Insta360 eliminates this confusion completely.
Users can directly reflect their own channel logos, presenter or guest names, or job descriptions in the production on this screen. Thanks to the very low power consumption, which is the biggest advantage of E-Ink technology, the images on the screen continue to remain on the panel even if the microphone is completely turned off.
Since this technology consumes power only during refresh cycles, it puts almost no strain on battery life and offers very high visibility under sunlight.
Triple Microphone Array and Software Angle Change
Many wireless lavalier microphones on the market are manufactured with a fixed multi-sided capsule. However, Insta360 Mic Pro has a triple microphone array on its body.
Thanks to DSP-based polar pattern changing technology, users can change sound perception angles via software without physically changing the hardware.
Device; It supports multi-directional recording modes for collecting general ambient sounds, cardioid for single conversations, and figure-8 recording modes for two-way interviews. This flexibility allows a single microphone to deliver the smoothest performance in both a podcast studio and a noisy trade show venue.
32-Bit Float and Advanced Audio Security
Sudden sound increases and clippings, which are one of the most feared situations in sound production, are no longer a problem with Insta360 Mic Pro.
The transmitters feature 32-bit float internal backup recording capability, offering a very wide dynamic range. This technology allows the recovery of very loud or very quiet sounds in the post-production stage without sacrificing quality.
Each transmitter includes 32 GB of internal storage, which can store up to 60 hours of 24-bit mono audio recordings. For the security of long-term recordings, the device automatically divides the audio files into sections every 30 minutes.
In addition, timecode synchronization provided with the help of TCXO oscillator deviates by less than one frame even in 24 hours of uninterrupted use, incredibly accelerating the editing process in multi-camera setups.
Uninterrupted Connection and Extensive Battery Life
The system, which reaches a wireless shooting range of up to 400 meters in open areas, uses GFSK wireless transmission technology.
The device offers wide compatibility options; It can be connected directly wirelessly to Insta360 cameras with USB-C, Lightning, 3.5 mm TRS contacts as well as Bluetooth 5.4 technology.
The transmitter units can work uninterruptedly for up to 10 hours and the receiver for up to 11 hours on a single charge.
When the smart charging box with a capacity of 2815 mAh is activated, the total operating time of the entire system increases up to 30 hours. Designed with heavy set environments in mind, the 5-minute fast charging feature offers users approximately 1.5 hours of immediate use.
Insta360 Mic Pro Price and Release Date
Insta360 Mic Pro, which combines professional audio standards in a compact body, is officially on sale in global markets. The global sales price of the standard kit, which consists of two transmitters, a receiver and a charging box, is set at $ 329.99.
