DJI introduces Mic Mini, a compact wireless audio system with better range than its larger sibling at nearly half the price. The new wireless microphone system packs professional features into a substantially smaller form factor while maintaining the magnetic mounting strength users loved from the previous model.

Form Factor Focus

The Mic Mini transmitters and receiver are dramatically smaller than the Mic 2 system while incorporating thoughtful physical controls.

• The dual transmitter kit with receiver retails for $169, while a single transmitter kit costs just $89

• Both transmitters feature the same strong magnetic backing and clip options found in the more expensive model

• A physical gain adjustment on the receiver allows for on-the-fly audio level control

• LED status indicators replace the display found on higher-end models

Mobile Integration Mastery

DJI has positioned the Mic Mini as a smartphone-first audio solution with seamless connectivity options.

• Transmitters can connect directly to smartphones via Bluetooth, eliminating the need for the receiver in mobile setups

• First DJI audio product to offer firmware updates through the smartphone app connection

• All settings and control features available through the Mimo app interface, compensating for the lack of an onboard display

• Standard 3.5mm outputs maintain compatibility with traditional camera setups

Range vs. Resolution

While gaining better wireless range, the Mic Mini makes strategic feature compromises to hit its price point.

• Engineers achieved better range and signal penetration than the more expensive Mic 2

• System sacrifices the 32-bit float recording capability found in the higher-end model

• No auxiliary input ports on the transmitters limits expandability

• Currently shipping, making it immediately available to creators needing affordable wireless audio
