Are you a content creator who wants to record high-quality audio for your videos, podcasts, livestreams, and more? Do you want a wireless, compact, and easy-to-use solution that does not compromise performance? If yes, then you need the DJI Mic 2, the latest wireless microphone system from DJI, the world’s leader in creative camera technology.

The DJI Mic 2 is a pocket-sized pro audio device that redefines audio for creators. It offers:

• 32-bit floating-point internal recording, which means clearer audio with less background interference
• Dual-person recording, which enables you to record audio from two transmitters simultaneously, using one receiver
• Compatibility with various devices, including the DJI Pocket 3, the latest handheld gimbal camera from DJI
• Two colors: Pearl White and Shadow Black, to match your personality and taste

This article will explain why the DJI Mic 2 is the ultimate wireless microphone system for content creators, professionals, and enthusiasts. We will also compare it with some of the best wireless Lavalier microphones available today, and show you how it stands out from the crowd.

What is 32-bit Floating-Point Internal Recording?

One of the most impressive features of the DJI Mic 2 is the 32-bit floating-point internal recording. This feature is a game-changer for anyone who records in noisy environments. It means clearer audio with less background interference, a crucial aspect for content creators and professionals.

But what exactly is 32-bit floating-point recording, and how does it work?

32-bit floating-point recording is a way of capturing sound that allows the device to record a wider dynamic range of sound, from very loud to very quiet, without clipping or distorting. It also preserves more details and nuances in the audio, making it easier to edit and adjust in post-production.

To understand how 32-bit floating-point recording works, we need to understand how sound is measured and recorded. Sound is measured in decibels (dB), which is a unit of loudness. The human ear can hear sounds from 0 dB (the threshold of hearing) to about 140 dB (the threshold of pain). However, most digital devices can only record sounds up to a certain level, usually around 96 dB. This is called the maximum input level, or the headroom.

If the sound exceeds the maximum input level, the device will clip the sound, which means cutting off the peaks and valleys of the sound wave. This results in distortion, loss of quality, and unpleasant noise. This is why you need to adjust the gain, or the input volume, of your device to avoid clipping.

However, adjusting the gain can be tricky, especially when you are recording in unpredictable environments, where the sound level can change rapidly. For example, if you are recording an interview on the street, you might have to deal with sudden noises from cars, sirens, or people. If you set the gain too low, you might miss some important sounds. If you set the gain too high, you might clip some loud sounds.

This is where 32-bit floating-point recording comes in handy. With 32-bit floating-point recording, the device can record sounds up to 1,500 dB, which is way beyond the human hearing range. This means the device can capture any sound, no matter how loud or quiet, without clipping or distorting. It also means that you don’t have to worry about adjusting the gain, as the device will automatically adjust the input level.

This feature is especially useful when recording directly to the transmitter, which has a built-in microSD card slot for storage. You can simply plug the transmitter into your clothing, turn it on, and start recording. You don’t need to connect it to a camera, phone, or computer. You can also monitor the audio levels and battery status on the OLED screen of the transmitter.

How to Use Dual-Person Recording?

Another feature that sets the DJI Mic 2 apart from other wireless microphone systems is the dual-person recording. This feature enables you to record audio from two transmitters simultaneously, using one receiver. This is ideal for situations where you need to capture audio from two sources, such as interviews, vlogs, podcasts, or live streams.

The DJI Mic 2 comes with a charging case, a wireless receiver, and two Mic 2 transmitters. The transmitters are small and lightweight and can be attached to your clothing using magnetic clips or wind muffs. The receiver can be connected to your camera, phone, or computer using the included cables and adapters. The charging case can charge the transmitters and the receiver at the same time and has a battery life of up to 8 hours.

To use the dual-person recording feature, you need to pair the transmitters and the receiver. To do this, you need to:

• Turn on the receiver and the transmitters.
• Press and hold the pairing button on the receiver for 3 seconds, until the LED indicator flashes blue.
• Press and hold the pairing button on one of the transmitters for 3 seconds, until the LED indicator flashes blue.
• Wait for the LED indicators on both the receiver and the transmitter to turn solid blue, which means they are paired.
• Repeat the same steps for the other transmitter.

Once the transmitters and the receiver are paired, you can start recording audio from both sources. You can also use the DJI Mimo app, which allows you to control the audio settings, monitor the audio levels, and access the advanced features of the DJI Mic 2, such as the low-cut filter, the limiter, and the gain adjustment. The DJI Mimo app also lets you edit and share your videos with the DJI Mic 2 audio.

What Devices are Compatible with the DJI Mic 2?

The DJI Mic 2 is not only compatible with the DJI Pocket 3, the latest handheld gimbal camera from DJI, but also with other devices that have a 3.5mm audio jack, a USB-C port, or a Lightning port. This means you can use the DJI Mic 2 with your DSLR, mirrorless, or action camera, your smartphone, tablet, or laptop, or even your gaming console or smart TV.

To connect the DJI Mic 2 to your device, you need to:

• Turn on the receiver and the transmitter(s).
• Connect the receiver to your device using the appropriate cable and adapter.
• Adjust the audio settings on your device, if needed.

You can also use the DJI Mic 2 as a standalone audio recorder, by recording directly to the transmitter(s), which have a built-in microSD card slot for storage. You can then transfer the audio files to your device using the USB-C cable.
