- 24-bit (two files): 28,6 h
- 32-bit float (single file): 43 h
- 32-bit float (two files): 21,5 h
In what format are the audio files recorded internally by the transmitter saved DJI Mic 3? How to export audio files from a transmitter?
During internal recording, a file is saved every 30 minutes. Both 24-bit and 32-bit float recordings are saved in WAV format.
You can export recorded files in two ways:
- Wired connection: connect the transmitter to the computer using the DJI Mic 3 Transmitter Magnetic Charging Cable or place the transmitter in the charging case and connect it to the computer using the included cable.
- Download via app: connect the transmitter to the DJI Mimo app and use the File Download function to export recorded audio files.
What are Original File and Edited File in file format settings?
Internal recording with the transmitter DJI Mic 3 supports simultaneous recording of original and edited files, which can be selected by going to Transmitter Settings and File Format sections.
Original File is the raw audio recorded by the transmitter, with file names ending in "orig". Edited File is audio that has been improved using algorithms such as tone presets, low cut, noise reduction and adaptive gain control - the names of such files end in "edit".
What is the naming rule for internal recording files in the transmitter DJI Mic 3?
The recording folder "TX_MIC001_20250530_115001" will be used as an example:
- TX: indicates that this is the folder of internal recordings of the transmitter.
- MIC001: stands for the first folder of internal recordings of a given transmitter. A new folder is created every 50 files.
- 20250530_115001: shows the date and time when the folder was created.
Another example - the recording file "TX01_MIC002_20250527_202904_orig.wav":
- TX01: indicates the serial number of the current transmitter, which is transmitted by the receiver based on the pairing order. This number will change if the transmitter is paired again.
After pairing, the serial number of the transmitter in the internal recording files will correspond to the last pairing order, regardless of whether the transmitter is currently connected to the receiver.
If the transmitter is disconnected from the receiver during the connection, its serial number in the internal recording files will be reset to TX00.
If you buy a single transmitter, the serial number of the transmitter in the internal recording files will be TX00.
When the transmitter is connected to a smartphone or device from the OsmoAudio™ ecosystem, its serial number in the internal recording files will always be TX00. - MIC002: means that this is the second recording file from the current transmitter. New recordings are numbered sequentially.
When paired with a receiver or camera from the OsmoAudio™ ecosystem, the date and time are synchronized with the connected device. When you use the transmitter itself, you can synchronize the date and time with your phone via the DJI Mimo app. - orig: means that the sound is the original, unprocessed recording from the transmitter. If you see "edit" next to the file name, it means that the audio has been processed by the algorithm.
How to delete audio files from a transmitter DJI Mic 3?
Recorded audio can be exported or deleted when the transmitter is connected to a computer. If formatting is required, you will do it using the receiver or the DJI Mimo app.

It's ideal for scenarios that require high quality sound, such as vocal recordings or instrumental performances.
Since the Lossless Audio option uses a higher bitrate, it may reduce the effective transmission range of the. For best results, we recommend using it in environments with minimal wireless interference and when the transmitter and receiver are close together.
What are Indoors and Outdoors modes? In what situations are they recommended?
Both modes support automatic switching between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The difference lies in the range of frequencies used in different environments.
Indoors mode covers a wider frequency range and offers stronger anti-interference properties. However, according to regulations in certain countries or regions, certain 5 GHz bands can only be used indoors. Select the appropriate mode based on local regulations and the actual environment (indoor/outdoor). In countries or regions without 5 GHz band restrictions, you can use Indoors mode by default, as long as it complies with local laws.
How to identify the master receiver and slave receivers in a group?
DJI Mic 3 supports group bonding, which allows multiple transmitters and receivers to work together. In a multi-receiver network, a receiver that forms a group is designated as the master receiver (displayed on the screen as Host), and receivers that join the group are designated as slave receivers (displayed on the screen as Sec). Only the master receiver can pair and control the transmitters. Slave receivers do not have this capability. Make sure all transmitters are disconnected before joining the group.
How to get a 4TX + 8RX configuration?
Follow the steps below:
- To achieve a 4TX + 1RX configuration using a charging case: place the receiver and two transmitters in the charging case. Wait until the status of the two transmitters appears on the receiver's screen, and then remove them from the case. Then place the other two transmitters in the charging case along with the receiver. When the receiver screen displays the status of the two transmitters, remove both transmitters and the receiver from the case.
To manually pair 4 TX + 1 RX: turn on transmitters and receiver. On the main screen of the receiver, swipe down to go to settings. Select Device Linking, then add TX. Tap the unconnected transmitter slot to start the connection process. Press and hold the Linking Button on the transmitter until the status LED starts flashing green and blue alternately. Repeat this procedure for each of the four transmitters. - To connect eight receivers: use the receiver that is already connected to the transmitters as the master receiver. On its home screen, swipe down to go to settings, select Device Linking, and then add RX. On the other receivers, which will be slave receivers, swipe down on the home screen to go to settings and select Device Linking to join the group. When the authentication code appears on the touch screen, tap Confirm to authorize the slave receivers to join the group. Add seven slave receivers consecutively to achieve a 4TX + 8RX configuration.
*Before attaching a slave receiver to a group, make sure it is disconnected from all transmitters.
Will there be an automatic disconnection when the transmitters or receiver belonging to the group are placed in the charging case??
When the transmitters or receiver are placed in the charging case, the devices will automatically turn off, but the pairing information will be retained.

What are LTC and ATC as a function of timecode? How to use them?
- Timecode (time code) is a time-stamping system for audio and video content that allows you to quickly synchronize files and improve production efficiency.
- LTC (Linear Timecode) is commonly used to synchronize timecode-enabled devices such as cameras, recorders and timecode generators.
- ATC (Audio Timecode) is a method of embedding timecode in an audio track, typically used with cameras that do not natively support timecode.
To use timecode, check your camera or recorder manual to see which timecode formats are supported, and if necessary, select the appropriate cable with an adapter. Most popular non-linear editing software can read both LTC and ATC.
Why do you hear regular noise in the materials when you turn on the timecode?
When ATC (Audio Timecode) is enabled, timecode information is recorded on the left audio channel of your video. As a result, you may hear a regular noise when playing the material. Software such as DaVinci Resolve allows you to read timecode from an audio track and automatically synchronize clips.
How the time code is synchronized between the master receiver, slave receivers and transmitters?
Once a group has been created, the main receiver automatically synchronizes timecode information with transmitters and slave receivers at regular intervals - no manual user intervention required.
Does the transmitter support timecode input?
Transmitter automatically receives timecode from receiver. However, it does not support synchronization or timecode output in conjunction with other devices.
How to synchronize external timecode?
Each receiver can output timecode to cameras, recorders and other equipment. Select the appropriate adapter cable and output mode according to the device port. For example, DJI Ronin 4D supports timecode input. To output timecode to it, you can connect the receiver to the appropriate port using a 3.5mm TRS to SDI cable, set the timecode output type to L-OUT, and make sure that the frame numbers of the devices match.
Only the master receiver supports external timecode input. After synchronization, the master receiver automatically distributes the external timecode to slave receivers and transmitters. To synchronize the external timecode, connect the Output port of the main receiver to the external timecode generator, switch to L-IN and tap Sync. This will synchronize the external time code with the receivers and transmitters. After synchronization, you can disconnect the external generator or leave the connection. If you disconnect the generator, DJI Mic 3 will continue to work on the internal timecode independently. If you leave the connection, the master receiver will continuously receive the external timecode and synchronize it with all receivers and transmitters in the network.
When disconnecting the external timecode generator, make sure that the disconnect icon appears on the receiver screen to avoid synchronization errors when reconnecting it.
How to sync timecode with DJI Osmo Pocket 3 or DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro?
To synchronize the timecode, enable the timecode function in DJI Mic 3 and set the timecode output type of the receiver to L-OUT. Make sure all devices are set to the same frame rate. On DJI Osmo Pocket 3 or DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro, go to settings and scroll down to find the Timecode option. Then connect the receiver to DJI Osmo Pocket 3 or DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro using the USB-C phone adapter. The timecode will be synchronized automatically.
Does enabling timecode affect audio output?
DJI Mic 3 offers four timecode modes:
- N/A: the receiver runs the timecode internally, but does not output it externally.
- L-IN: used to synchronize timecode from external generator to receiver.
- L-OUT: the receiver outputs the timecode to the outside in Linear Timecode (LTC) format.
- A-OUT: the receiver outputs timecode to the outside in Audio Timecode format (Audio-TC/ATC).
The effect of timecode on audio output varies depending on the selected timecode mode and channels. For details, see the table on Timecode functions.
How accurate is the time code in DJI Mic 3? What frame rates it supports?
