Insta360’s first wireless microphone kit debuted in June with small, lightweight AirTag-sized mics that were easier to wear hidden away. The new Insta360 Mic Pro, which the company is teasing during the 2026 NAB Show in Las Vegas, is instead designed to be prominently displayed. On the front of each transmitter is a round E Ink color screen that can be customized with photos, logos, branding, or custom artwork.
The company didn’t share specifics about when the Mic Pro will launch, aside from a global release planned later this year, but it did reveal some of its functionality. The wireless transmitters each feature a three-microphone array and a dedicated AI processor, which powers their noise reduction capabilities.
As with last year’s Mic Air, the new Mic Pro can connect and send audio directly to many of Insta360’s cameras, so you don’t necessarily have to rely on its wireless receiver and a smartphone or a laptop to record audio. For added peace of mind during a shoot, the mics can also record audio themselves, allowing you to create a backup should something go awry with other recording devices.
