DJI Mic Mini 2S Brings Internal 32-Bit Float Recording

DJI has released the Mic Mini 2S, a version of its compact wireless microphone that records audio inside the transmitter. Each transmitter has about 14.5GB of built-in storage, with no slot for external cards. That holds roughly 22 hours of 32-bit float audio or about 28 hours at 24-bit.

Four transmitters and four channels

One receiver can pair with up to four transmitters at once, and these can be any mix of Mic Mini, Mic Mini 2 and Mic Mini 2S units. The Mini 2S transmitter also works with the Mic Series Mobile Receiver. When the receiver is connected to a Sony camera through the Mic Series Camera Adapter or a 3.5mm cable, a Quadraphonic mode sends four independent audio channels to the camera.

The transmitters weigh about 12 g, use a new noise cancelling model and offer Regular, Rich and Bright voice tone presets. Through DJI OsmoAudio they connect directly, without a receiver, to the Osmo Pocket 4P, Osmo Action 6, Osmo Nano, Osmo 360 and other devices. The system also works with cameras, computers and phones via USB-C, Lightning or Bluetooth.
