When transmitter gain on 0 and recording 32-bit internaly, mic attached on chest 20 cm from mouth, recorded level is much too low.

I import it in FCPX and level hardly peaks to -22 dB.

I have to push transmitter to the max (+12) and push further in post to get an acceptable level.

Is it capsule too low sensitivity? Could this recording level issue be enhanced by a firmware update?

Thanks!

It seems some level of noise reduction is being applied even with it turned off.  I get the same thing but if I use a plug in lav mic it sounds wayyyy better.

Hi. Sorry about the trouble. Can you also post an unedited sample? I'm going to forward it to the relevant team for checking. I appreciate your patience.

it's 32 bit float - crank it up in post and you're fine. That's the whole point of it.  what mic are you using?

Hello,

you can download a sample here.

Peaking at -25dB, probably not the expected behaviour.

Thanks!

Thank you very much. I will keep you posted. Have a great day ahead.

Hi. Patrick.  Thank you for patiently waiting. This is what I got from the relevant team: "We suggest to first increase the gain of TX to use. With support for 32-bit float internal recording, DJI Mic 2 provides a high dynamic range that not only delivers high-quality recording but also adapts better to complex sound environments. It excels in capturing every nuance of a voice, from quiet whispers to booming decibel levels, providing greater reliability in erratic noise scenarios and more flexibility in post-production". We will record any feedback to engineers for further evaluation. If this function is optimized through firmware in the future, it will be pushed through the release record. Please kindly pay attention to the DJI official website information in the future. Have a nice day.

Try turning "off" the Low Cut option.  I recall a YT video tutorial that noted the Low Cut (on) was affecting the recording levels both with and without the Lav, especially when the lav is added or removed during the same connection to the Pocket 3.

Hi there,
I've the same low volume issue mentioned in the opening post. I'm using the DJI Mic 2 receiver standalone (i.e. I don't have the receiver to adjust anything in the transmitter). I understand the 32 bit float question, but what if I don't want to edit in post, I'd like to use the recorded file directly and currently this is just unusable. Is there any acceptable solution in this case? Otherwise this mic seems useless.
Kind regards

Hi there. We are more than glad to help. Will it be fine if you also post a sample for further checking? Thank you.

Hi. I'm having the exact same issue. Internal recording is very slow. What's the solution? Thanks, Ivan

Same issue here. Iphone recordings are way louder than the one recorded via dji mic2 rx + tx

Please help me fix the issue. Eveb at hgih gain with low cut off, 32bit on i don’t get satisfactory level. What to do? I paid a good money to get this mic. Please don’t make me feel cheated

Hi everyone.
I have the same issue with the Dji mic 2 connection with the iPhone 13 Pro. The recorded video has too quiet levels of sound through the Dji mic 2. I tried recording all in different ways, so I tried to record with different apps and change all settings on the receiver and mic itself. For example, when I increased the level of the sound on the receiver and the mic to 12dB, the result of the recorded video was increased just only on 8% maximum.
I do not have a lot of experience in using similar product mics, often I used wired microphones for the recording video.
Could you please say if it is a normal behavior for this mic? Thanks.

I've wanted just to add. When I a little investigated this issue through the internet, I turned off all of the functions that can change the sound like: noise reduction, cutting, 32bit etc. just left only default settings of the mic.

I'm wandering guys through the topics of the forum.I found the nearest topic about update soft. But, I didn't find any notice about this particular issue, but I guess there are some related fixes.
What do you think about it ?

Added compatibility with the iPhone 15 series, supporting the receiver to be used while charging when connecting to a mobile phone via the mobile device adapter.
Optimized the stability of the system during use.
Fixed issue: the transmitter, when directly connected to a Bluetooth device, incorrectly indicated support for internal recording and noise reduction through the LED information.

didnt fix it

Dear all,
I bought the mic 2 combo (latest firmware) before reading this thread. I'm really disappointed about the level, when using it for VoiceOver with Final Cut on a Mac.
Has anyone found a solution for using the mic 2 without working afterwards with the Final Cut effects to optimize the quality?

Thanks!

Same issue here. I use LumaFusion and there is only so much you can raise the volume in post with some software. Even with the 32 bit float file.
