Insta360 has introduced the Insta360 Wave, a professional-grade AI speakerphone designed for smarter meetings, podcasts, and collaborative work. The device brings together advanced hardware and intelligent software, aiming to set a new benchmark for clarity and usability in modern communication.
A Focus on Professional Sound
At its core, Wave uses an 8-microphone 3D array that captures audio in Hi-Fi 48kHz detail from up to 16 feet away. Backed by AI-driven processing, it cancels out more than 300 types of background noise, from keystrokes to street sounds, while acoustic echo cancellation and automatic gain control deliver balanced, natural voices. The system also applies AI dereverberation to cut out hollow tones, making conversations sound crisp and lifelike. Full duplex audio ensures that both sides of the conversation flow without interruptions.
Touch Controls and Recording Features
Wave comes with a sleek touchscreen interface, letting users mute, adjust volume, or start recordings with a tap or swipe. It doubles as a standalone recorder with 32GB of built-in storage, capable of holding up to 1,000 hours of audio. For spontaneous moments, an AI pre-recording function captures the last five minutes before hitting record.
Wave supports adaptive beamforming with five selectable pickup patterns (Omni, Cardioid, Supercardioid, Figure-8, and Stereo) tailoring sound capture to everything from group meetings to two-person interviews or even ASMR recordings.
Smarter Meetings with AI
The speakerphone integrates seamlessly with Insta360 InSight, the company’s new AI meeting assistant. InSight offers transcription in 99 languages, speaker identification, glossary customization for industry terms, and even smart summaries and to-do lists. It can also answer questions by referencing timestamps from recordings, making it a practical tool for both teams and solo users. Early adopters will get free access to the InSight Basic Plan, which includes 300 monthly minutes of transcription and cloud storage, with upgrades available.
Integration with Insta360 Link 2
For those seeking a full video-and-audio setup, Wave pairs effortlessly with the Insta360 Link 2 AI webcam. Together, they provide synchronized controls and automatic speaker tracking, offering a wire-free way to manage multi-person video calls.
Availability and Pricing
The Insta360 Wave is available globally starting September 25, 2025, priced from $299.99 via the Insta360 Store, Amazon, and select retailers. Accessories like a table mount, Y-cable, and desktop controller expand its versatility, while future firmware updates will add support for cascading multiple units to cover larger spaces.
