DJI mic, And How To Use

The DJI Mic is a wireless microphone system designed for high-quality audio capture, typically for content creation like vlogging, interviews, and live streams. Here's how to use it:

1. Unbox and Charge
Transmitter and Receiver: The DJI Mic includes one or two wireless transmitters (mics) and a receiver.
Charging: Connect the transmitters and the receiver to a USB-C cable for charging. The system has a long battery life, but it's best to ensure it's fully charged before use.
2. Power On
Receiver: Press and hold the power button to turn on the receiver. It connects to the transmitter automatically.
Transmitter(s): Do the same with the transmitter(s). The LED light on both devices will indicate the connection status.
3. Pairing (if needed)
The transmitter and receiver should automatically pair when turned on. If not:
Go to the settings on the receiver's touchscreen, select "Pair," and press the pairing button on the transmitter.
4. Mount the Receiver
Camera/Phone: Use the supplied hot shoe mount to attach the receiver to a DSLR camera, or connect it to a smartphone via a compatible adapter (Lightning or USB-C, depending on the phone).
Computer/Other Devices: If using with a computer or other device, connect the receiver via the USB-C cable.
5. Attach the Microphone
The transmitter has a built-in mic. You can clip it to your shirt or use the included windscreen (if you're outdoors) for better sound quality.
Optional External Mic: The transmitter also has a 3.5mm jack if you want to plug in a lapel or lavalier mic for more discreet recording.
6. Audio Settings
Receiver Display: Use the receiver’s touchscreen to adjust gain, monitor battery levels, and control other settings like mute, stereo/mono mode, etc.
Volume Levels: Check and adjust your audio input levels on your camera or recording device to ensure clean audio without clipping (distortion from too much volume).
7. Recording Directly to Transmitter (Optional)
The DJI Mic has built-in storage in the transmitter (around 8 GB), so it can record audio directly without a separate recording device.
To enable this, tap the button on the side of the transmitter to start recording, and it will store the audio internally.
8. Monitor Audio (Optional)
Some devices allow you to plug in headphones to the receiver for real-time audio monitoring to ensure your audio is clear.
9. Use Windshield for Outdoor Use
Attach the provided windscreen to the transmitter if you are recording in windy conditions to minimize noise.
10. Post-Recording
If you recorded audio directly onto the transmitter, connect it to your computer to transfer the files.
Edit the audio in your preferred software if needed.
Tips:
Firmware: Make sure the DJI Mic system is running the latest firmware for optimal performance.
Backup Audio: If you're using both transmitters, consider recording in stereo mode so you have a backup audio track.
With these steps, you should be able to start using the DJI Mic effectively!
