DJI Mic 2 and Mic Mini lights explained (green, blue, yellow, red)

On a DJI Mic 2 transmitter, yellow means noise reduction is on, green means it's in receiver mode, and blue means it's in Bluetooth mode. Solid means connected, slow blinking means waiting for a connection. On a DJI Mic Mini, the separate small yellow light means noise cancelling is on, and a solid yellow status light means a firmware update is running.

DJI Mic transmitter lights — Transmitter system status lights from DJI's Mic 2 and Mic Mini user manuals. Green means receiver mode, blue means Bluetooth mode.

DJI Mic 2 transmitter

The Mic 2 transmitter has two lights: the system status LED and a recording status LED.

System status LED

Light	Meaning
Solid green	Linked to the Mic 2 receiver
Blinks green slowly	Not linked to the receiver
Blinks green quickly	Linking
Solid blue	Linked to a Bluetooth device
Blinks blue slowly	Bluetooth mode, nothing linked
Blinks blue quickly	Linking over Bluetooth
Solid yellow	Noise reduction on, transmitter linked
Blinks yellow	Noise reduction on, transmitter not linked
Solid red	Battery 0 to 10%
Red and green alternating	Firmware updating

Yellow is not an error. Press the power button once to turn noise reduction off or on (with the default "Noise Reduction via Button" setting). Note that noise reduction and internal recording don't work when the transmitter is connected straight to a phone over Bluetooth.

Green or blue? Press and hold the record button for three seconds to switch between receiver mode (green) and Bluetooth mode (blue). If a transmitter blinks blue and won't link to your receiver, it's in the wrong mode. Full steps are in Mic 2 not pairing with the receiver.

Recording status LED: solid red means the transmitter is recording internally, pulsing red means it's muted, and off means no internal recording. If your audio suddenly went silent and the light pulses red, unmute it.

While charging: the status LED blinks green once, twice, three or four times for 0 to 25%, 26 to 50%, 51 to 75% and 76 to 100%, and turns off when full.

DJI Mic 2 receiver and case

The Mic 2 receiver has a touchscreen instead of status lights. It shows link strength, gain, battery and icons for noise reduction, muting and internal recording. The charging case has four battery LEDs that blink in sequence while it charges and turn off when it's full.

DJI Mic Mini lights

Transmitter: solid green means linked to the receiver, slow green blinking means not linked, and blue and green alternating means it's linking. Solid blue means a Bluetooth device is connected. Solid red means 0 to 10% battery. Solid yellow on the status LED means a firmware update, while the separate noise cancellation LED glows yellow when noise cancelling is on.

Receiver: it has a transmitter status LED for each mic and a receiver status LED.

Transmitter LED: green when linked, off when not linked, fast green blinking while linking, solid yellow when that mic's noise cancelling is on.
Receiver LED: solid green for Mono or Safety Track, solid cyan for Stereo, slow blinking when no recording device is connected, solid blue when linked over Bluetooth, solid yellow during a firmware update.

Still confused?

Most "my Mic is yellow" questions are just noise cancelling. If the lights look normal but you hear nothing, check receiver output not working or the full DJI Mic troubleshooting checklist. Shopping for a set? See the DJI Mic 2 and Mic Mini.
