Every detail captured.
AI Noise Canceling
Smart enough to sound natural.
A dedicated AI audio chip with a built-in NPU brings a big jump in processing power, driving a far more capable noise canceling model. Background noise falls away with less of the distortion that noise canceling usually leaves behind, so voices stay clear and natural.
Expandable storage. More freedom to create.
Add a microSD card for expandable storage and internal recording2. Without one, record directly to your camera, phone, or computer via Bluetooth or Receiver.
microSD card sold separately.
32-Bit Float Internal Recording
More detail to work with.
Insert a microSD card to enable 32-bit float internal recording. Capture a wider dynamic range, hold on to more detail, and give yourself more room to move in post. From one-take moments to times when you need audio and not a camera, you record on your terms and keep more of every sound.
32-bit float is available for internal recordings only. microSD card sold separately.

Auto Gain Control
Always stable. Always at your best.
Prevent Audio Clipping (Automatic)
Automatic keeps your recordings safe from clipping and gives you a smoother sound. Ideal for scenarios with large fluctuating levels and background noise.
Auto Gain Control (Dynamic)
Dynamic automatically balances volume changes, letting your voice come through for a more natural sound. Best for controlled and quiet indoor scenarios.
Three Voice Tone Presets
Give every voice more character.
The default setting. Clear, balanced, and natural, ready for everyday recording.
Lifts the mid and low frequencies for more depth and body, while keeping the sound clear rather than muddy.
Adds high-frequency presence for a brighter, more open sound that never turns harsh.

Remote Start & Stop
One press. You’re rolling.
Even with the camera at the far end of a selfie stick, there’s no reaching back and forth. Connect Mic to an Insta360 camera over Bluetooth and it doubles as a remote. Press the power button to start or stop recording from a distance and keep every highlight under your control.
Available only when Mic is connected directly to an Insta360 camera via Bluetooth.
Synchronized Internal Recording
The camera rolls. Recording follows.
Turn on "Shoot with Internal Recording" in the camera menu and Mic starts and stops internal recording in step with the camera. No extra steps to remember, and a local audio file to fall back on if the wireless connection drops. Stay on the shot instead of the settings.
microSD card required for this feature.

Capture like a pro.
4 TX + 1 RX
More voices. Full control.
One receiver connects up to four Transmitters and captures all four sources at once. Name each Transmitter on its display to tell speakers apart live and when editing.
insta360
Cross-Generation Connectivity
Flexible pairing, effective recording.
Mic and Mic Pro Transmitters can be mixed on the same Receiver, so you can build a bigger setup around the gear you already own.
2 TX + 4 RX
Multi-camera audio, synced in one go.
One Transmitter pairs with as many as four Receivers, supporting configurations up to 2 TX + 4 RX. Send audio to four cameras in real time for a faster multi-camera setup and a cleaner edit.
Four-channel output.
Connect to a compatible Sony camera with the Camera Adapter and select Four-Channel Mode. All four Transmitters record to separate tracks3, ready to mix in post.
Camera Adapter sold separately.
insta360
Flexible channel selection.

Choose Mono or Stereo4 to suit the shoot. Mono mixes every Transmitter to a single track. Stereo keeps them on separate channels for the edit.

Plus, Safety Track backs up your main track at −6dB, saving the

take if a voice suddenly spikes.

Adjustable, Flexible
Clear at a glance. Easy to manage.
Quick Settings on the Receiver
The Receiver’s OLED touchscreen shows battery level, connection status, and other key information in real time. Swipe to open settings, then adjust with the touchscreen or the dial.
Settings & Firmware Updates
Adjust settings, customize your E-Ink wallpaper, and update firmware in the Insta360 app to keep Mic current with the latest features.
Fast file export.
Connect the Transmitter to a computer or phone over USB-C to export your internal recordings quickly.
Multi-Device Compatibility
Get connected. Stay connected.
Connect through the Receiver for a stable, plug-and-play setup that suits long recordings, or pair the Transmitter directly over Bluetooth5 for a fast start with third-party recording and streaming apps.
Mount the Receiver to your camera’s cold shoe, then run the included 3.5mm cable from the Receiver’s audio output to the camera’s mic input.
Connect the Receiver to your computer, open your sound settings, and select Insta360 Mic as the input device.

Extended Battery
Create all day long.
Mic runs for up to 34 hours6 with the Charging Case, and a single Transmitter delivers up to 13 hours7 on its own. Enough to see out a full day of shooting.
5-Minute Fast Charge
Charge fast. Keep shooting.
Both the Transmitter and the Receiver support fast charging8. Five minutes on the charger gives Mic around 2 hours 20 minutes of use9, and a full charge takes only 50 minutes, so you are back on the shot quickly.
Intelligent power saving.
The Transmitter drops into Sleep Mode when it stops detecting a signal from the Receiver, then wakes and reconnects the moment the signal returns. No powering on and off through the day.
Set the Transmitter and Receiver to shut down automatically after 15 minutes without a connection, so a device left on doesn’t drain its battery.
Turn on camera power sync and the Receiver powers on and off with the camera it is connected to. One less thing to think about, and less battery spent.
400m Range
Move freely. Stay heard.
Wireless audio holds clear and stable at up to 400m (1,312ft)10 in open, interference-free spaces. Shoot across a large venue or follow the action from a distance, and the sound stays with you.

Charging Cycles for TX and RX
When charging two Transmitters and one Receiver simultaneously, a fully charged charging case can fully charge them for approx. 2 times.
1. Refers to Mic Pro, Insta360’s first wireless microphone with a customizable E-Ink display, as of the launch of Mic Pro on May 19, 2026.
2. With internal recording enabled, the Transmitter works as a standalone recorder and saves audio straight to the inserted microSD card. Internal recordings are available in 24-bit and 32-bit float formats, and a new file is created automatically every 30 minutes. 32-bit float is available for internal recordings only.
3. Four-channel output is supported on select Sony camera models and requires the official Camera Adapter, sold separately.
4. Mono set as default. In Stereo Mode with two Transmitters, each Transmitter is recorded to its own channel. With more than two Transmitters, TX1 and TX3 are combined for the left channel and TX2 and TX4 for the right.
5. A direct Bluetooth connection to a phone does not support the native camera app and works only with third-party apps. Audio is captured at 16kHz.
6. Measured in a lab environment using Insta360 Mic (2 TX + 1 RX) with a fully charged Charging Case, with noise canceling and internal recording turned off, recording at close range in an interference-free environment, with both Transmitters paired to the Receiver and the Receiver connected to a camera by 3.5mm cable.
7. Measured using Insta360 Mic (2 TX + 1 RX) with noise canceling and internal recording turned off, recording at close range in an interference-free environment, with both Transmitters paired to the Receiver and the Receiver connected to a camera by 3.5mm cable.
8. The Transmitter charges fully in approximately 50 minutes and reaches 80% in approximately 22 minutes. The Receiver charges fully in approximately 60 minutes and reaches 80% in approximately 30 minutes. Measured in a lab environment using a 5V/3A charger.
9. Measured in a lab environment using a 5V/3A charger on a Transmitter below 50% battery, with noise canceling and internal recording turned off, recording at close range in an interference-free environment, with the Transmitter paired to the Receiver and the Receiver connected to a camera by 3.5mm cable.
10. 400m is measured with the Transmitter connected to the Receiver in an open, unobstructed, interference-free environment. Connected directly to Insta360 X5 over Bluetooth under the same conditions, range is approximately 100m (328ft), and may vary with camera model, device orientation, and shooting mode.
