Instamic Pro Plus C Microphone and Recorder (Stereo/Mono)

Compact, rugged, and ready for anything, the Zoom Instamic Pro Plus C (Stereo/Mono) is an ultracompact microphone array and recorder designed for creators who need high-quality, reliable audio in any environment. Measuring just 38 × 25 × 13 mm, it delivers pristine 32-bit float recording in a discreet form factor small enough to hide in plain sight.

Equipped with six precision MEMS capsules, the Instamic captures a wide frequency range from 40 Hz to 20 kHz at up to 135 dB SPL, ensuring clear, natural sound even in loud or unpredictable conditions. With 32-bit float recording, every nuance—from soft whispers to loud peaks—is preserved without digital clipping, so you can record confidently in any situation.

Rated IP67, the Instamic Pro Plus C is fully dustproof and waterproof, capable of being submerged to 1 metre for 30 minutes, making it perfect for outdoor shoots, action setups, and extreme conditions. Flexible mounting options include a magnetic clip, adhesive tape, and nano suction tape, allowing attachment to clothing, vehicles, or set pieces. With up to 4.5 hours of continuous recording and USB-C recharging, it’s ready for extended field use.

Designed for professional workflows, the Pro Plus C features a 2.5 ppm internal timecode clock and supports Atomos and Tentacle Sync wireless timecode for precise audio-video synchronisation. It can also act as a Bluetooth microphone for smartphones and computers. Using the Instamic app, you can capture video with synced Instamic audio directly—no post-syncing required. The system works with apps such as Filmic and Blackmagic Camera, and is compatible with iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. The Instamic Remote App lets you control up to 10 units simultaneously, including power, live monitoring, timecode syncing, and adjustable 3-band EQ, all from a phone or tablet.
