DJI Mic 2 + Sony Adapter: Lavalier Boosts Audio?

Is the DJI Mic 2’s audio too low when using the Sony digital adapter? In this video, I address the common criticism of low audio levels when pairing the DJI Mic 2 wireless microphone system with Sony cameras, specifically the Sony A7C.

Many users, including myself in a previous video, have noticed that the audio output is significantly lower than expected, requiring substantial gain adjustments. In response to a subscriber’s request, I’ve conducted a thorough test using a lavalier microphone connected to the DJI Mic 2 transmitters.

This test focuses on whether using a lavalier microphone can effectively solve the low audio level issue. I tested the setup with both the Sony A7C and the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, providing a comprehensive look at the audio performance.

Here’s what you’ll find in this video:

  • Testing the DJI Mic 2 with the Sony digital adapter and a lavalier microphone.
  • Comparing audio levels with and without the lavalier mic.
  • Real-world audio tests using the Sony A7C.
  • Testing the same lav mic setup with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3.
  • Analysis of audio quality and gain requirements.
  • Addressing the low audio criticism and providing potential solutions.
  • Comparing this test to my previous test that showed low levels.

If you’re experiencing low audio levels with your DJI Mic 2 and Sony camera setup, this video is for you! Discover if a lavalier microphone can be the solution you’ve been searching for.
