For more than a year, 18 months to be precise, the DJI Mic 2 occupied a privileged place between portable and wireless microphones. It stood out for its battery, sound quality and portability. It was obvious that The next generation should do a very good job to overcome this. And he has succeeded.
He DJI Mic 3 It is the answer to several of the doubts of the users of the previous model. For example, the transmitting component (TX) of the Mic 3 is much more compact and light than that of its predecessor, which facilitates its use on clothing. Topic 1, resolved.
Point two: In the Mic 2 load case, only the two TX units and the receiver (RX) entered. They have now achieved, without changing the dimensions, allowing accessories such as clips, magnets or (exterior essentials) anti -live screens. The load case continues to maintain the same elegance and resistance as Mic 2. If that We add their high load capacity (5 minutes are enough for two hours), the advantages are added.
Another to underline: the Mic 3 includes two levels of active noise cancellation instead of one and there are three new voice prejustments. The regular is the usual in the brand, the sound highlights the serious ones, while the brilliant is focused on the acute. And all this maintaining sound accuracy up to 400 meters away (150 meters more than Mic 2).
Another novelty is adaptive gain control dual way, designed to offer a balanced audio under more complex recording conditions. Automatic adjustment is used to avoid audio cut during unexpected volume climb, while dynamic mode is more situational, Designed for recordings of two people with a single TX unit in a more controlled environment, such as a study.
It also adds compatibility with time code, something that did not have the Mic 2. The high precision time code It guarantees a synchronization with less than a deviation frame in 24 hours, something essential if we work with several cameras.
The battery life also increases and much: passes from 18 hours (with the load case and two transmitters) of the mic 2 to 28 hours. In addition, the internal storage space of the transmitting units has quadrupled, from 8 GB to 32 GB.
Finally, what matters: sound quality. It incorporates 32 floating bits, which could sound to specific jargon (and it is) but it has a reason: Unlike the fixed point audio of 16 bits and 24 bits, which have a definite upper limit (roof) and a floor, the 32 -bit floating audio has a much wider dynamic range.
In total, Mic 3 admits up to Four transmitters and eight receptors, which facilitates multicámar production and group recordings. It weighs only 16 grams and the microphone angle can be adjusted with flexibility thanks to the removable rotating clip.
To connect it with other devices, MIC 3 has A 3.5 mm TRS exit port with blocking, a 3.5 mm TRRS monitoring port and a USB-C port. It can also be connected directly to smartphones via Bluetooth without receiver.
