On your cap, lapel or in your hand: DJI Mic Mini 2S wireless microphone lands with internal 32-bit float

The DJI Mic Mini 2S, DJI's inaugural mini wireless microphone, has made its debut, boasting an innovative internal recording feature. This 14.5GB of onboard storage can accommodate up to 28 hours of 32-bit float audio, recorded at 24-bit resolution. The transmitter, weighing just 12g, offers two AI noise cancelling modes - Basic and Strong - to mitigate background noise and enhance clarity.

The former is ideal for dampening persistent hums like air conditioning, while the latter is better suited for noisier environments. With 32-bit float, akin to a RAW file for audio, the mic enables maximum audio data capture for flexibility in post-production and a reduced chance of clipping. Clipping Control automatically attenuates the microphone, ensuring consistent audio output via Loudness Balance.

For enhanced voice tonality, three preset options - Regular, Bright, and Rich - are available. The microphone can be linked to up to four transmitters using a single receiver, making it suitable for recording multiple audio sources simultaneously. Compatibility with existing DJI Mic Mini and DJI Mic Mini 2 transmitters, as well as the DJI Mic Series Mobile Receiver, is also ensured.

Additional aesthetic options include eight Multi-Color Magnetic Front Covers and four Time Series Magnetic Front Covers, designed in collaboration with artist Victo Ngai. The DJI Mic Mini 2S can be seamlessly integrated with DJI's extensive ecosystem, compatible with various Osmo cameras for 48kHz 24-bit audio capture. Pricing starts from £59 for the transmitter and ranges up to £183 for the complete package including a transmitter, receiver, charging case, and the aforementioned cover set. Currently, USA availability remains unspecified due to import restrictions on new DJI products.
