Exquisitely crafted to ensure compatibility with all NIO models, this microphone serves as a brand-new extension of NIO's in-vehicle ecosystem, effectively enhancing the overall user experience. It comes with a compact charging case for convenient storage. And upon being taken out of the case, it can automatically establish a Bluetooth connection with NIO's in-vehicle infotainment system, and intelligently identify the specific vehicle model. This fusion surpasses the conventional purpose of mere mobility, turning every NIO vehicle into a mobile KTV where the whole family can enjoy and celebrate.

The design philosophy of this microphone is centered around "Pure, Human, Progressive, and Sophisticated".

Pure: Its seamlessly integrated shell showcases a sleek and minimalist design, captivating users with its modern allure. Available in a range of colors that perfectly match the diverse car paints and interior decors of all NIO models, the microphone therefore can effortlessly maintain aesthetic harmony with the in-vehicle environment.

Human: This microphone is ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip, and is further enhanced by a rubberized coating for a pleasant tactile experience and a non-slip feature.

Progressive: The smart halo interaction allows users to effortlessly grasp the working status of the microphone at a glance.

Sophisticated: With evenly and precisely spaced perforations, this microphone strikes a balance between harmonious visual appeal and efficient sound pickup.

More practicably, this microphone integrates a joystick-style mechanism commonly found in game controllers into a single button unit, ensuring user-friendly and intuitive operation while aligning with its entertainment attribute. The all-in-one functionality is consolidated into this button for a streamlined user experience. In terms of sound quality enhancement, the cutting-edge technology upgrades in its digital signal processing (DSP) chip and sound processing algorithm work effectively to stabilize high frequencies and compensate for low frequencies, resulting in exceptional vocal performances. Additionally, the specialized microphone capsule enhances the signal-to-noise ratio and high-frequency segments, further elevating the overall sound quality. Furthermore, it offers seven preset sound effects to cater to a wide spectrum of music genres and singing styles, making it a perfect fit for diverse musical preferences.
