Mic Mini 2S Launched by DJI, Excluding U.S. Market

DJI has officially unveiled the Mic Mini 2S, a significant upgrade to the Mic Mini 2 that debuted in April.

While maintaining a similar design to its predecessor, the Mic Mini 2S brings several valuable features previously exclusive to the Mic 3. Unfortunately, this model is not expected to be available in the United States for the foreseeable future.

The original DJI Mic Mini quickly became a go-to choice for content creators, allowing for high-quality audio capture with ease. The Mic Mini 2 introduced vibrant swappable covers and new voice presets. Now, the Mic Mini 2S enhances the series even further by offering internal recording in 32-bit float format and the capability to connect four transmitters to one receiver at once.

Each transmitter in the DJI Mic Mini 2S system can perform single-file 32-bit float internal recording, although it defaults to 24-bit. With around 14.5GB of internal storage, it can hold approximately 22 hours of audio in that setting. The 32-bit float file format serves as an essential backup, capturing a broader dynamic range that allows users to recover audio that might otherwise be lost due to excessive quietness or loudness. To ensure optimal sound quality, the Mic Mini 2S features two levels of adaptive gain control, which helps to mitigate audio issues, along with two levels of AI noise cancellation.

The Mic Mini 2S receiver supports simultaneous connections with up to four transmitters, while the original Mini 2 is limited to two.

While last year’s DJI Mic 3 does offer the ability to connect four transmitters and features 32-bit float onboard recording, its receiver is exclusive to Mic 3 transmitters and does not work with DJI’s Mini microphones.

On the other hand, the DJI Mic Mini 2S receiver provides flexibility by allowing users to seamlessly integrate any of DJI’s Mini microphones, as it is backwards compatible with both Mic Mini and Mic Mini 2 transmitters. This compatibility makes it an excellent option for those who have previously invested in the Mic Mini or Mini 2 and wish to utilize up to four transmitters simultaneously.

It is important to note that the Mic Mini 2S receiver does not support cross compatibility with DJI’s non-Mini microphones, such as the Mic 3. users who own both Mini and non-Mini DJI microphones can still use them together through DJI’s mobile receiver, although this setup can only connect two transmitters at a time instead of four.

Unfortunately, as with many of DJI’s offerings, the Mic Mini 2S will not be available in the U.S. at its launch. Ongoing tensions between the U.S. government and DJI have hindered the import of their products, including recent releases like the Osmo Mobile 8 gimbal, the Avata 360 drone, and the Osmo Pocket 4 camera, which are not accessible through the official company website. U.S. customers interested in the DJI Mic Mini 2S will need to rely on third-party vendors for purchase.

While there is no official pricing available for the DJI Mic Mini 2S in the U.S., the starting price in the UK is £79 (approximately $106) for a set that includes one transmitter and a receiver, or a combination of a transmitter, mobile receiver, and charging case. UK customers can purchase a bundle that contains two Mic Mini 2S transmitters, one receiver, and a dual charging case for £169 (approximately $227).
