Using with Insta360 Connect

Insta360 Wave can be used in conjunction with the Insta360 Connect (a dual-lens video conferencing all-in-one, sold separately). By using audio cascading to extend the pickup range, they jointly meet the needs for clear audio in larger meeting spaces.

Core Functions

• Extend Pickup Range: Cascade Wave (5m pickup range) with Connect (built-in 14-microphone array, 10m pickup range) to enhance overall pickup performance in medium-to-large meeting rooms or complex acoustic environments.

• Intelligent Audio Fusion: The system automatically fuses the audio streams from both devices based on the conference room environment and vocal characteristics to achieve optimal pickup. By default, audio output is played through the Connect’s speaker (20W) to ensure full sound coverage.

Usage Requirements

• Device Compatibility: Currently supports cascading one Connect with one Wave. Support for cascading one Connect with multiple Waves simultaneously will be available via a future OTA update.

• Firmware Version: Please ensure your Wave firmware version is EPSP_ v1.0.0.6 or higher, and Connect firmware version is v1.1.35 or higher. If the version is outdated, please update to the latest version first.

  • Connect Firmware Upgrade Steps: Please refer here.

  • Wave Firmware Upgrade Steps: Go to "Settings > General > Firmware Update" on the device, or upgrade via the desktop client.

Connection, Setup, and Usage

Connecting Devices

• Use a USB A-C data cable (sold separately, available in 5m or 10m lengths) to connect the Connect and Wave. This is suitable for scenarios where devices are positioned close together or where wired deployment is convenient. Additional connection methods will be supported via future OTA updates.

Setup and Usage

• Once the devices are successfully connected, they will automatically enter audio cascading mode with no manual setup required. The screens or indicators on both the Connect and Wave will display a connection success prompt, indicating that the system has entered the intelligent audio processing state.
• After successful connection, Wave and Connect automatically enter the audio cascading workflow to optimize pickup.
• Before starting a meeting, it is recommended to perform a simple pickup test: speak from different positions in the meeting room (e.g., facing, side-on, or with your back to the device) to confirm audio clarity.
• Muting and volume adjustment can be controlled via either the Connect or Wave; these operations will be synchronized across the cascaded system.
• Audio output is handled by the Connect speaker; please adjust the volume to an appropriate level based on the size of the meeting room.
