Premiere of DJI Mic 3 - the new release of wireless microphones
In this article, we take a look at the latest wireless microphone system DJI Mic 3. We will check what has changed from the previous generation, what possibilities it offers in practice and for whom it will be the best choice.
Construction of the microphone DJI Mic 3
DJI Mic 3 is a compact wireless system consisting of two transmitters, a receiver and a charging case. Each transmitter weighs only 16 g and can be clipped to clothing with a clip or magnet - so it remains almost invisible in the frame. The case also acts as a charger and is an organizer for all accessories, which greatly facilitates transportation and daily use.
DJI Mic 3 focuses on ease of use. Integrated 1.1-inch AMOLED touchscreen and convenient dial allow you to instantly switch modes, adjust volume and check battery status.
DJI Mic 3 - recording quality and options
The microphone offers recording in quality 32-bit float and supports Lossless Audio format, which preserves the full dynamic range - from whispering to loud sounds - without the risk of overdriving. The system automatically adjusts the gain, and users can additionally choose from three tone modes (Regular, Rich, Bright) and two levels of noise reduction.
Microphone Mic 3 automatically adjusts gain level, to ensure consistent sound quality without unwanted distortion. Built-in mode Automatic prevents overdrive, while Dynamic mode responds smoothly to changes in volume, which is especially practical when working in the studio.
This makes the DJI Mic 3 suitable for both studio as well as in the open air - for podcasts, interviews, reports or vlogs.
Culture and uptime DJI Mic 3
On a single charge transmitters work up to 8 hours and the receiver up to 10 hours. Z charging case the operating time of the whole set is extended up to 28 hours. Importantly, the fast charging allows in just just 5 minutes to get an extra 2 hours of use - useful when the recording cannot wait.
The device takes about 50 minutes to fully charge. Built-in energy saving options - m.in. automatically going to sleep mode or shutting down during prolonged inactivity - extend battery life. The receiver can be synchronized with the camera via a 3.5mm cable or hot shoe mount, so it starts up and shuts down simultaneously with the camera. While recording, it is possible to power it from a smartphone, and if an external power source is connected, the receiver and phone can be charged at the same time - without interrupting recording.
