Insta360 Wave Arctic White

Insta360 Wave Arctic White – 8-microphone array for clear voice capture up to 5 m

Insta360 Wave Arctic White is a sleek and compact speakerphone designed for the desktop, making it perfect for both home and office use. With its advanced technology, it enables crystal-clear voice capture and efficient meeting controls. Whether you're using it for professional calls, podcasts, livestreams, or simple music playback, the Wave delivers an exceptional audio experience that meets all your needs.

Designed for everyday desktop use

With a smart upright design, the microphone ports are effectively placed, minimizing surface reflections and thereby improving sound clarity. Touch-sensitive controls on the device's base make it easy to manage everyday tasks such as muting the microphone, adjusting the volume, starting or stopping recordings, and uploading content directly to the cloud. The device also supports two-way, real-time full-duplex audio, meaning participants can speak over each other without audio clipping.

Powerful microphone and processing

Insta360 Wave is equipped with an impressive 8-microphone array that has a pickup range of up to 5 meters. It records audio at a high quality of 48 kHz, preserving all details of speech. The built-in signal processing is also a significant advantage, as it effectively reduces background noise, removes echo, applies automatic gain control, and performs de-reverberation to make voices sound more natural and close.

Five pickup patterns for different situations

The Wave is designed to adapt to various room setups and meeting styles through its five unique pickup patterns. You can easily select the pattern that best suits your use case:

• Omni: captures voices from all around the device, perfect for roundtable meetings.
• Cardioid: focuses sound forward, ideal for one-on-one calls, podcasts, or livestreams.
• Supercardioid: narrows the focus further to reduce interference in noisy environments.
• Figure-8: captures sound both forward and backward, perfect for two-person interviews.
• Stereo (USB): uses left/right channels to provide wider recordings when connected via USB.

Local recording and planned AI features

The Wave offers 32 GB of built-in storage and also functions as a simple recorder. With a single button press, you can start recording, mute the audio, and add markers during the meeting. This storage is specific for up to 1,000 hours of MP3 audio. An upcoming firmware update will introduce an AI pre-recording mode that continuously listens in the background and saves the last five minutes when you press the record button.

Optional cloud AI meeting assistant and privacy

The Wave can also be expanded with an AI meeting assistant via cloud features. Cloud processing enables transcription of meetings, with optional speaker labeling based on voiceprints and a custom vocabulary so that specific product names or abbreviations are recognized consistently. After the meeting, you can easily review notes and action items, ask follow-up questions via a chat interface, and share summaries with a QR code on the screen. Many of these features are available through a paid service.
