DJI MIC 2 continues the design style of the previous model and is smaller and lighter overall. At the same time, retro dialing wheels and transparent shell elements are incorporated to make the product more technological.
DJI MIC 2 supports stable wireless transmission up to 250 meters. It supports omnidirectional radio and focuses on optimizing the listening experience of human voices. Supports professional-grade 32-Bit floating-point internal recording, better retaining complete audio information through high dynamic range. Supports smart noise cancelling, which effectively reduces environmental noise and highlights the main voice. It also has a safety track function to prevent sonic boom.
The DJI MIC 2 transmitter has 8GB of built-in storage space, which can store about 14 hours of 48kHz 24-bit uncompressed audio. It can be used for audio backup when shooting or as a voice recorder. In terms of battery life, both the transmitter and receiver support 6 hours of battery life, and the charging case provides about 2 additional times of power supply. When the receiver is connected to a mobile phone, it can be used while charging. Let’s take a look at the detailed teardown report of DJI MIC 2.

03/ Summary
The appearance design of DJI MIC 2 has been optimized compared to the first generation. The receiver is equipped with a larger screen, which can better display information and operate control. A retro dial has been added, which can be used in conjunction with the camera to adjust parameters more harmoniously. The receiver is lightweight and can be used portably through the integrated collar clip and back clip magnet.
The transmitter and receiver wireless audio solutions use Actions ATS2831DL bluetooth audio SoC, which integrates bluetooth receiving and transmitting functions. Supports Bluetooth 5.3, 48k high-definition audio codec and AI noise cancelling, providing ultra-low latency high-quality audio signal transmission. The built-in CPU+DSP dual-core heterogeneous architecture can provide sufficient computing power for the product – combined with back-end sound processing and AI noise canceling algorithms to further improve audio quality.
Also built into both the transmitter and receiver are the Skyworks SKY66112-11 high-performance, fully integrated RF front-end module (FEM) – used to extend bluetooth range. They all use a 360mAh 3.87V high-voltage lithium battery, and the SouthChip SC89601S charging IC is responsible for charging the built-in battery.
In other aspects, the receiver screen is equipped with Actions ATS3085L single-chip bluetooth audio solution, FocalTech FT3168 touch IC and 3PEAK TP2402 dual-channel operational amplifier. The transmitter has a built-in omnidirectional pickup microphone and uses Nuvoton NAU85L40YGB four-channel audio ADC, PEAK TP2412 op amp, and SanDisk SDINBDG4-8G memory.
