DJI Mic 2 Wireless Microphone User Manual

DJI Mic 2 Wireless Microphone

Introduction

DJI Mic 2 is a dual-channel wireless microphone system, including two transmitters and one receiver, which is able to record two sound sources simultaneously. Each transmitter has a built-in omnidirectional microphone, which can be connected to DJl Osmo Pocket 3, mobile phones, and other devices via Bluetooth, and supports standalone recording and intelligent noise cancelling. The transmitter is equipped with a clip for ease of portability and accommodates external microphones to meet off-camera recording needs while enhancing audio quality.

The receiver boasts an OLED touchscreen on which users can view the real-time volume levels, wireless signal strength, gain, recording modes, and more. By utilizing the expansion port, the receiver can be connected to a camera or mobile device to capture high-quality audio or can be used as a microphone when connected to a computer. Additionally, an independent monitor port on the receiver allows for real-time audio adjustments. The charging case provided is able to charge the transmitters and receiver simultaneously and link them automatically.

Operation

Placing a Transmitter

A transmitter can be attached to clothing using the magnet or set upright on a stable surface. ‘The clip can also be used to attach a transmitter to clothes.

It is recommended to use the windscreen when using a transmitter outdoors or in a windy environment. Attach the windscreen to a transmitter by first aligning it with the internal microphone, then pressing down firmly on the windscreen to attach it.

Using with a Camera

To record and transmit audio to a camera, attach the receiver to a camera using the cold shoe on the receiver, then connect the receiver to the microphone port of the camera using the camera cable provided, as shown below.

When using the microphone with a camera, it is recommended to increase receiver gain and decrease camera gain for enhanced audio capture. Refer to the Instructions on Recommended Gain for Camera Setup for more information.

Swipe Down-Control Menu

Receiver Settings

Recording Mode

Mono: Indicates that the left and right channel outputs of the receiver are identical.

Safety Track: Similar to when using Mono, the output gain of the right channel is 6 dB less than that of the left channel to prevent overexposure.

Stereo: In Stereo mode, the audio will be separated into left and right channels.

Recommended Camera Settings

Tap to select the brand and model of the camera, and the receiver will be automatically configured to best match the receiver gain. Preset receiver gain can help with the poor sound pickup effect caused by different built-in microphone gains in different cameras.

Receiver Gain

Tap to open the Receiver Gain slider and move the slider to adjust the receiver output gain.

Volume

Tap to open the Volume slider and move the slider to adjust the monitoring volume.

Power On/Off Camera Simultaneously

When enabled, the receiver will automatically power on and off with the camera when connected to the camera via the 3.5 mm TRS cable. The receiver powers on automatically in sync with the camera.
