The DJI Mic 2 is a product that proves that recording technology has significantly improved. Combining high-quality recording capabilities, user-friendly design, and excellent stability, this tool allows content creators to record in any scenario with great audio quality.
Professional Recording in your Pocket
One of the features of DJI Mic 2 is its ability to record high-quality audio even in environments where various types of audio are mixed. It supports omnidirectional recording and is optimized to record clear audio, ensuring the quality of user-generated audio content in any scenario. DJI Mic 2 can record audio with excellent quality in a variety of shooting scenarios, such as shooting fun Vlog videos and serious interview videos.
DJI Mic 2 supports smart noise canceling, which improves shooting conditions for content creators who shoot in crowded rooms or on city streets with lots of people and cars. This function effectively reduces environmental noise to record clear audio and prevents situations where recording is interrupted due to noise. When shooting in windy environments or scenes that move quickly, users can use the windscreen included with DJI Mic 2 to reduce wind noise and record clear audio even when shooting outdoors. It is said to be able to make sounds.
The microphone is equipped with a Safety Track function to ensure that users can record the audio they want. With this feature, content creators can record a second backup track with the volume lowered by 6dB in addition to the main audio track, in case the volume of the audio source suddenly increases. It can easily record balanced audio even in loud and complex audio environments such as rock concerts.
DJI Mic 2 Designed to Meet Todays Needs
DJI Mic 2 is not only developed using the latest technology, but also designed with the user in mind. The smart-looking charging case has a minimal design using metal, and a newly added latch mechanism prevents it from falling accidentally, making it safe to use.

It can be easily connected to and used with a variety of recording devices.
The Mic 2 is equipped with a touch screen and can be easily operated with a finger. The 1.1-inch OLED touch screen is equipped with a dial that allows users to access the information they need quickly and accurately. Content creators will be able to easily adjust the volume, gain, screen brightness, etc., enabling smooth audio settings.
The transmitter is compatible with an easy-to-use magnetic clip and is designed to be quickly attached to an inconspicuous place on the subjects’ clothing. In addition, the mic supports dual-channel recording and can record audio from two types of sound sources at the same time, making recording tasks that require multiple sound sources easier and more convenient. Efficient post-editing is possible.
To help users maximize their creativity, the microphone is compatible with practical accessories like the DJI lavalier microphone and the specified charging case.
Stability and Reliability
The DJI Mic 2 boasts excellent stability, making it possible to always capture high-quality audio. Each of the transmitters has 8GB of built-in storage and can record up to 14 hours of uncompressed 48kHz 24-bit audio. This allows content creators to shoot for long periods of time without worrying about storage capacity.
This new microphone also supports state-of-the-art 32-bit float internal recording. This feature not only provides recording performance, but also seamlessly adapts to complex audio environments, capturing a wide range of nuances from whispers to loud voices. This allows users to record with confidence even in environments where loud sounds suddenly come out, and allows for flexible fine-tuning in post-editing.
The DJI Mic 2 also demonstrates performance in terms of transmission distance and battery life.
