DJI Zenmuse V1 – Aerial Loudspeaker for Mission-Critical Communication
The DJI Zenmuse V1 is DJI’s first high-output loudspeaker, purpose-built for multi-payload drone platforms. Fully compatible with the Matrice 400, Matrice 350 RTK and Matrice 300 RTK, it projects clear, intelligible audio up to 500 meters (1,640 ft) while weighing just 0.69 kg. Whether you're coordinating search-and-rescue, directing traffic during emergency response, or issuing crowd-control instructions, the V1 provides powerful communication from the sky.
Multiple Broadcast Modes
Record & Broadcast
Capture a voice memo directly in DJI Pilot 2, store it locally, and transmit instantly—ideal for quick on-scene updates without extra equipment.
Text-to-Speech
Type a message in the app, adjust tone and speaking rate, then broadcast it. Supports single or looped playback, ensuring the message is heard clearly.
Audio File Playback
Import and play pre-recorded audio files on demand—perfect for standardized warnings, multilingual alerts, or repetitive messages.
Powerful Sound, Extended Reach
With a peak output of 127 dB at 1 meter—comparable to a jet engine—the V1 ensures messages are heard over ambient noise. Its 500-meter effective broadcast range allows operators to cover large areas without repositioning.
Crystal-Clear, Directional Recording
The DJI RC Plus microphone records audio directly above the handset. Built-in noise cancellation filters out environmental sound, delivering clearer recordings for rebroadcast at altitude.
Precise Control, Targeted Broadcast
Synchronize the V1’s gimbal movement with other mounted payloads so the acoustic axis matches the camera's line of sight. This ensures maximum clarity while minimizing spillover into unintended zones.
Reliability & Operator Safety
Robust Payload Protection
Built-in temperature, over-current, and power monitoring safeguard internal systems and extend service life.
Hearing-Safety Reminders
When ground volume exceeds 40%, DJI Pilot 2 triggers a pop-up alert—helping prevent discomfort for nearby personnel.
Built for Harsh Environments
Rated IP54 and operational between −20 °C to 50 °C (−4 °F to 122 °F), the V1 resists dust, light rain, and temperature extremes—perfect for year-round use in real-world field conditions.
One-Press Remote Shortcuts
Assign custom buttons on the DJI RC Plus for rapid control—press once to record, press again to broadcast. This makes live communication faster and more efficient for field teams.
Flexible Mounting, Lightweight Build
The Zenmuse V1 installs on any single downward, dual downward, or upward gimbal port. Its compact 0.69 kg build allows you to pair it with cameras, sensors, or spotlights—giving you full mission flexibility.
