DJI Unveils Mic 3 With Multi-Transmitter Support, Timecode and 32‑Bit Recording

Transmitters drop the 3.5mm lav input, signaling a portability-first design tradeoff.

Overview

  • The 16 g transmitters shrink the system substantially from Mic 2 and add two Adaptive Gain Control modes, three voice tone presets and two-level noise reduction to manage levels and voice character on-device.
  • Creators can run up to four transmitters and eight receivers simultaneously, with a quadraphonic mode that delivers four independent tracks to select Sony cameras or compatible software.
  • Each transmitter records dual files in 24-bit or 32-bit float to 32 GB of internal storage and embeds high‑precision timecode that DJI says stays within one frame over 24 hours.
  • Battery specs include up to 8 hours per transmitter and 10 hours for the receiver, with the charging case providing about 2.4 recharges for roughly 28 hours of total use and a five‑minute quick charge yielding about two hours.
  • DJI claims up to a 400 m wireless range with automatic hopping between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz to reduce interference, and the kits are on sale in Europe at €309 (2TX+1RX) or €199 (1TX+1RX) with U.S. availability not yet announced.
