Just a heads up DJI released new firmware earlier today (01-31-2024)... default setting is still for 'Low Cut' filter is 'ON' for this firmware as well....though I think it sounds better with newer firmware release and I'm not really noticing a difference between this filter being ON or OFF (at least not to my ear).

Hey Fredo... Love Ur content from India. • What should be the ideal gain levels for 'RECEIVER' & 'TRANSMITTERS' when we connect them to Android device !? • By the way I've bought DJI MIC 2 after watching videos. 😊
Thank you so much bro! Just subscribed to your channel! I've heard from someone else that the audio was " muffled" but to be honest I never noticed. But I'm changing the low cut filter off.
Yeah I did that right when I got mine . What's also crazy is I've watched tons of videos and people are saying the rode wireless pros sound better and while they are clearer when outside they pick up more noise surrounding the person speaking . The DJI picks up and separates the audio of the person speaking better that the rode wireless pros .
@SotirisMoraitis92 iPhone are a little tricky when using the adapter (usb c or lighting) Depending on what app you’re recoding on the audio might not work correctly. I’ve used the black magic camera app and manually selected the DJI mic
Great video! It happened to record and mono is there a way to separate the two receivers onto separate audio channels, or are they baked in to the footage for good?
Hey man! Love your content! As a fellow videographer, audio monitoring is key for me. I've been trying to connect my DJI Pocket 3 or DJI Mic 2 to my bone conduction headphones via Bluetooth while recording for wireless audio monitoring. I've asked around on TH-cam and the DJI forum but no luck so far. Any chance you could share a wireless solution? Thanks a bunch!...... really appreciate your help here...
Not sure that Bluetooth monitoring is possible. My understanding is that the Bluetooth connection is reserved for the mic unit to send m audio to (iPhone, action cam, laptop etc). What documentation have you read that says you can monitor via Bluetooth headphones?
*Is the dji mic 1 better than the mic 2 for live streaming because the mic 2 has flat sound?* *is there audio profiles on the mic 2 for non flat audio?*
@@Fredo.heavyy is there multiple sound profiles you can choose from? Did a firmware update fix that problem where both mic 2 transmitters don't sound the same?
There is not a selectable audio profile for the DJI Mic 2 system. My original unit didn’t have any difference in sound on the mics so I can’t speak on that.
I’m sorry if this is a stupid question, but I’m still new to the recording/editing process, on your video when it changes to “DJI Mic 2 EQ Applied” is the EQ what you’ve done in post, or some settings you’ve made internally on the mics? I “upgraded” from some cheap Amazon wireless lav mics to the DJI mic 2, but ever since my sound quality is horrible. If I record with one mic it sounds decent, but as soon as I turn on the second everything gets hollow and tinny. Unless I can figure out how to fix this issue, my $30 mics are working better for me right now. Appreciate your video!
Sorry I sent this question before the video was over, I’ll check out the other video regarding the EQ and see if I can fix anything. Thanks again, this was a really good video!
you can get away with 24bit as long as you're not "peaking" screaming. 32 bit float is better for removing sounds that might be too low or high. I record everything in 32bit float if possible.
Hi..I am a stand up comedian and I am havin g a hard time setting my DJI Mic 2 to my needs. I need my voice but also record the audiences laughter... My sound is quite clear im the recording but I think the laughs are not as loud as it should be. Can you plz help recommmend the ideal setting for doing standups?? Thx u very much ❤❤❤
That's a a tough environment because levels are gonna be all over the place but I'll try to explain. The closer "source" to the mic is going to get those most isolation, so you have to pick one or the other (your voice or the crowd) What you can do is point the mic (capsule down) towards the floor and pick up all the sound in a more "even" capacity. Also make sure Noise Canceling is OFF and Low cut filter is OFF. A real solution would be to record a second track with a mic facing the crowd and then mixing the audio in post but that's Movie levels of production work.
@@Fredo.heavyy hey Man, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out. I’m a fan of your channel and really enjoy your videos. I will try your suggestions. Again I really appreciate it. Thank you very much. It was nice talking to you.
Some people are claiming dji mic 2 has issues with third party lav microphones. Do you think that's true? I had to use the sennheiser g4 system on a shoot and it was so much fun using those that I never want to use them again. The dji mic 2 seems like an amazing replacement for such a system, but for professional use cases I need to hide the mic with an external lav. Also some forums claim the dji mic 1 has a loud noise floor/ 'isn't very quiet' compared to the sennheisers. Do you think they've improved the noise floor on the mic 2?
The DJI Mic 2 does have limited compatibility when it comes to Lav mics DJI did this on purpose so you’re more likely to buy their Lav, which does sound good from what I’ve heard. If you’re hiding the transmitter and already have a collection of Lav w/ locking connector then Rode Pro might be for you Also I haven’t found any issue with noise floor on the DJI Mic 2 w/ 32 bit audio float
@@Fredo.heavyy Thanks! I don't have any lavs let alone locking ones. What does limited compatibility mean? I'm fairly sure on any other wireless lav system the transmitters accept basically any microphone input.
@@definingslawek4731 I believe that as long as you use lav mics that use TRS connections instead of TRRS connections you should be fine, I'm gonna actually test mine later today or these next couple days. I have a couple Saramonics ones that I try.
Hi ! enjoyed your video.. I need your advice. I have the DJI wireless mic 2. I have the transmitter and receiver set to +9 gain...low cut -0ff. I am recording on my Iphone 12. however when i put that video in Filmora... the audio from the iphone video is low and cannot be raise much at all.. any help would be appreciated. Rico
i can confirm thst the audio is the same. the problem commonly reported is that mic 2 used as standalone records way lower than when connected to pocket cam 3. turning up gain etc does not solve it. never found a solution for it.
I'd like to know if the rode pro simply has a better built in mic or if actually they're applying some EQ on device to make it sound fuller like that. Like maybe the dji mic is just a flatter frequency response? Kind of like how images from pro cameras often need some saturation and contrast tweaks? Maybe it's just a cope lol.
You’re not wrong, it’s exactly how a camera can shoot in “RAW” vs “JPEG” and it only matter if you’re modifying the image (color, exposure, etc) Spec wise I think I saw the rode pro has a better “frequency response” (more range) , idk by how much doe. But in real world applications it’s negligible to me. No cope if you want a 32bit wireless Lav system: DJI Mic 2 has better form factor + user interface + better case Rode Pro has better out box sound + locking lav / time code Choose accordingly
I'm finding out that the DJI Mic 2 I have is not recording on my phone via the USB in. I have a Samsung A32. I'm wondering if I need a newer phone? Thanks for any help.
Make sure you have the gain set appropriately and record and 32bit float. I haven’t experienced any noise or static in my recordings, it honestly provides some of the cleanest audio for me.
Turning off the low cut along with the noise canceling was the first thing I turned of after doing the firs test when I got it, I were shocked hearing the bad results till I found it in the menu and turned those off.
@@Fredo.heavyy I use Davinci resolve for the videos and, when needed, Logic Pro for the audio. I’m also a musician with experience in sound production and live sound. Any audio that is muddied or muffled, whether live or recorded, gets a low cut filter first of all. The bass and sub-bass frequencies of the voice are the main culprits for decreasing clarity of the audio. As well as using up valuable headroom, for no audible benefit. (You can’t have the volume as loud, if inaudible rumbles are eating up your bandwidth). I’m not saying that there aren’t differences or that the microphone doesn’t need EQ in post. I use EQ‘ing on vocal tracks recorded with high quality condenser mics in the studio. But what I can say with certainty, is that the low cut is not what’s causing the problem. Ultimately, no small capsule mic at this price range is ever going to sound amazing without some work. Perhaps DJI should do some more of that work for us, but i imagine that for the majority of their customers, it’s not important enough. For those who do care, they will then have the expertise to do the work themselves.
@AndyManCam sounds like you’re over qualified 😅 Honestly I found that the default setting of the low pass filter was an over arching issue with many creators having a muffled sound out the box. Are you a DJI 2 owner or is the Rode pro your wireless Lav system of choice?
@@Fredo.heavyy Haha! Aren’t we all mate! Over qualified and under valued! 😅 I guess the mic situation is all a matter of perspective i suppose. I’ve just gotten a DJI mic 2 and came into the experience expecting the sound to be a little lacklustre and needing to ‚fix‘ it in post. I’ve got a Zoom H1 field recorder which with the included lav mic sounds pretty good out of the box. But it can’t do wireless, isn’t as small as the DJI transmitter and won’t interface with my action cameras and phones directly. Horses for courses really. Maybe the Rode would have sounded better, but the form factor and integration of the DJI (I have DJI cameras too) made it the better overall choice for me personally. Maybe DJI will improve the clarity with some firmware EQ. Until then, we’ll just have to concentrate on the positives and remember that we can fix the negatives ourselves! 😉
@@Fredo.heavyy incidentally, in the interests of humble pie, when i said a high pass would make things muffled, i was wrong. Thats actually a low pass, or high cut. My bad. 🙈
I work more with producing music than video but yes when going through my settings i noticed the lowcut immediately.thanks guy

Same, couldn't find much difference.. :/
keep em comin you have to get into the 1M+ community with that quality and authenticity of yours! Go Fredo! ;)
I don’t think a low cut should be muffling audio, if anything it should be sounding crispier, no?
Why would it make the audio crisper?
If you have low frequencies in your voice and the “low cut” filter removes them, you’re gonna sounds worse.
If you remove low frequencies you should be only hearing mid-to-high frequencies which is where sibilance and crispiness lives.

what are your transmitter and receiver gain settings? I still cant figure out how to setup this settings
