Swipe down on the DJI MIC 3 Receiver’s home screen to access the Control Menu. From here, you can link devices, connect to the DJI Mimo app, and set up various parameters.

Timecode Settings:

Timecode is a time marker used to synchronize audio and video. Common video frame rates are supported, with 29.97 fps as the default.

• Supported Modes:

• Master Run: The main RX timecode is set to Master Run by default, managing timecode generation and synchronization.

• Auto Jam: The secondary RX timecode defaults to Auto Jam, periodically syncing by receiving the timecode from the main RX.

• Output Types:

• N/A: The receiver runs timecode internally but does not output it externally.

• L-IN: Used to synchronize timecode from an external timecode generator to the receiver.

• L-OUT: The receiver outputs timecode externally in Linear Timecode (LTC) format.

• A-OUT: The receiver outputs timecode externally in Audio Timecode (Audio-TC/ATC) format.

Receiver (RX) Settings:

• Mono: Tap to switch to stereo or quadraphonic. Quadraphonic mode allows four transmitters to operate simultaneously, each with a dedicated audio track.

• Audio Monitoring: Tap to select the monitor source and adjust the volume.

• Gain: Tap to open the gain slider and adjust the receiver output gain.

• Lossless Audio: When enabled, the transmitter sends 48 kHz 24-bit uncompressed audio to the receiver.

• Auto On/Off With Camera: When enabled, the receiver automatically powers on and off with the camera when connected via the 3.5 mm audio cable or camera adapter.

• Auto Off: The receiver will automatically power off when not linked to a transmitter within 15 minutes after powering on.

• Environment: Both Indoors and Outdoors modes support automatic frequency hopping. The Indoors mode covers a wider frequency range and offers stronger anti-interference performance.

Transmitter (TX) Settings:

• Low Cut: When enabled, the transmitter will cut off frequencies that are 100 Hz or below.

• Gain: Slide to adjust the transmitter input gain according to the real-time volume.

• Adaptive Gain Control: Automatic Mode is for environments with dramatic volume fluctuations. Dynamic Mode automatically adjusts the dynamic range based on input levels, ideal for quiet indoor settings.

• 32-Bit Float Recording: When enabled, the transmitter can independently record audio files in 32-bit float.

• Audio Recording via Button: When enabled, pressing the transmitter power button will start or stop internal recording.

• Noise Cancellation via Button: When enabled, you can press the transmitter power button twice to enable or disable noise cancellation.

• Startup Auto Recording: When enabled, the transmitter automatically starts internal recording upon powering on.

• Loop Recording: When enabled, the system automatically splits recorded files and overwrites existing files when storage is full.

• Auto Off: When enabled, the transmitter automatically shuts down after 15 minutes of no use when not connected to any device and without internal recording activated.

You can control transmitters individually or as a group from the DJI MIC 3 receiver’s touchscreen.

Multi-Transmitter Control:

If the receiver has joined a group as the main receiver, swipe up on the home screen to simultaneously control all transmitters in the group. This allows you to start internal recording or enable noise cancellation for all transmitters at once.

Single Transmitter Control:

Tap a specific transmitter’s status bar on the home screen to access its dedicated control interface. From there, you can manage functions like internal recording and muting for that individual transmitter.

The dial on the DJI MIC 3 Receiver provides quick access to controls and settings.

• Lock/Unlock Screen: When the receiver is powered on, press and hold the dial for two seconds to lock or unlock the screen.

When on the Home Screen:

• Enter Control Menu: Press the dial twice to enter the Control Menu.

• Select an Area: Press the dial once to trigger area selection, indicated by a dashed box. Rotate the dial to switch between areas (receiver status bar, transmitter status bars), then press the dial to confirm your selection.

• Adjust Gain: Once the receiver or a transmitter status bar is selected, rotate the dial to adjust the gain for that device.

• Enter Multi-Transmitter Control: When the dashed box appears on the receiver status bar, press the dial twice to enter the multi-transmitter control interface.

• Enter Single-Transmitter Control: When the dashed box is on a transmitter status bar, press the dial twice to enter the single-transmitter control interface for that specific transmitter.

Installing the Windscreen:

In outdoor or windy environments, use the windscreen to reduce wind noise. Align the windscreen with the slot on the transmitter and press it into place. Rotate the windscreen to lock it securely.

Wearing the Transmitter:

The transmitter can be attached to clothing using the integrated clip or the included magnet. The magnetic clip has a detachable, rotating design, allowing the transmitter to face the sound source directly for improved audio quality, even when clipped sideways or inverted.

The transmitter and receiver in the DJI MIC 3 combos are linked by default. If they become unlinked, follow these steps:

Linking via the Charging Case:

Place the transmitters and the receiver in the charging case to link them automatically. If the transmitter’s system status LED is blue, press the linking button twice to change it to green before placing it in the case.

Linking Manually:

1. Press and hold the linking button on the transmitter for two seconds until its system status LED blinks blue and green alternately.

2. Swipe down on the receiver screen and tap Device Linking > +TX > TX1/TX2/TX3/TX4.

3. The transmitter is successfully linked when its system status LED turns solid green.

After linking one or two transmitters to a receiver, you can use Group Linking to add more devices, up to a maximum of four transmitters and eight receivers.

Add More Transmitters to the Group:

• Method 1 (Charging Case): Remove the already linked transmitters from the charging case while keeping the receiver inside. Then, place the additional transmitters into the case for automatic linking.

• Method 2 (Manually): Follow the steps for “Linking Manually” to add more transmitters into the group.

Add More Receivers into the Group:

1. On the main receiver’s screen, swipe down and tap Device Linking > +RX. This receiver now becomes the main receiver and is ready to link.

2. On the screen of the new receiver to be added, tap Device Linking > +Group, verify the code that appears, and tap Confirm to complete the process.

Device Management:

Tap Device Management in the control menu to view serial numbers, battery levels, or delete devices from the current group.
