X Series: Setting Audio and Recording Modes

Applicable Models: ONE X, X2, X3, X4, X4 Air, X5, and X6

To help you better understand the camera's audio functions, this article provides instructions on how to adjust the prompt sound and select audio recording modes for different scenarios and answers questions about audio encoding and recording range, allowing you to optimize audio effects based on your needs.

How to distinguish between and select audio recording modes

Different camera models support different audio recording modes. You can choose the appropriate mode based on your scenario:

Model	Audio Modes Selectable on Camera
X6	Auto Wind Noise Reduction, Stereo, Voice Enhancement, 360° Audio, Intelligent Audio Mode, and Engine Sound Enhancement
X5 and X4 Air	Auto Wind Noise Reduction - Weak, Auto Wind Noise Reduction - Strong, Stereo, Auto Voice Focus, and 360 Audio
X4	Auto Wind Noise Reduction, Active Wind Reduction, Stereo, and Direction Focus
X3	Wind Reduction, Stereo, and Direction Focus
X2	Wind Reduction, Stereo, and 360 Direction Focus
ONE X	Selecting audio modes is not supported

Description and Applicable Scenarios of Audio Recording Modes

Audio Mode	Description	Applicable Scenarios
Wind Reduction	Reduces interference from wind noise in the environment.	Outdoor windy conditions, such as cycling.
Auto Wind Noise Reduction	Supports automatic adjustment based on the current environment to reduce wind noise.	Suitable for most scenarios like outdoor hiking and travel.
Active Wind Reduction	Reduces wind noise generated during movement.	Suitable for high-speed sports like motorcycling and skiing.
Stereo	Provides natural sound without noise reduction, enabling high scene fidelity.	Suitable for scenarios like concerts.
Direction Focus	360 Mode: Highlights voices based on the playback perspective. Wide-angle Mode: Highlights voices based on the lens direction.	Scenarios with a primary sound source, such as vocal recordings.
Voice Enhancement	Intelligently reduces background noise in voices, making them clearer.	Suitable for scenarios like vlogging.
360° Audio	(Only supported for 360 video recording) Captures sound from all directions, providing a more realistic sense of space.	Suitable for immersive recordings intended for playback on VR devices.
Intelligent Audio Mode	The camera intelligently identifies the current shooting environment and automatically selects the most suitable audio mode. *When enabled, the device automatically switches to the optimal audio solution via algorithms and disables all other audio setting options except "Engine Sound Enhancement".	Suitable for daily vlogging, travel, outdoor hiking, concerts, and other scenarios with vocals and music.
Engine Sound Enhancement	Enhances engine sounds while blocking wind noise, restoring a sense of presence.	Suitable for urban commuting by motorcycle, motorcycle touring, and similar scenarios.

How to set the audio and audio recording mode

Swipe down from the top of the camera screen to enter the "Shortcut" menu > tap the "Audio Mode" / "Audio settings" / "Audio" icon > select the corresponding audio mode based on your shooting scenario.

FAQ

Audio

What is the camera's audio recording distance/range?

The audio recording range is affected by sound volume and environmental conditions. Recommended distances for different models are as follows:

X6, X5, X4 Air, X4, and X3: For optimal audio recording, use the device within 9.8ft (3m); for voice control, stay within 3.9ft (1.2m).
X2: It is recommended to use the device within 4.9ft (1.5m).
ONE X: No relevant data available.

What is the camera's audio encoding format?

AAC

What are the camera's audio sampling rate and audio bitrate for recording and export?

Camera	Audio Sampling Rate	Audio Bitrate
X6, X5, X4 Air, X4, and X3	48kHz	192kbps
X2	48kHz	N/A
ONE X	48kHz	64kbps

Does the camera support Dolby Atmos? Does it support Ambisonic (Spatial Audio / Surround Sound)?

Audio Mode	Category	Description	Applicable Scenarios	Camera Support
Dolby Atmos	Surround sound technology, spatial audio format	Adds height channels and sound objects, allowing sounds to move dynamically in 3D space for a more immersive audio experience.	Commonly used in cinemas and home theater systems; typically relies on specific hardware support.	Not supported for all models
Ambisonic (Spatial Audio / Surround Sound)	Spherical audio encoding, spatial audio format	A technique for capturing and reproducing 3D environmental sound, capturing sound from all directions to recreate an immersive sound environment.	Does not rely on specific speaker configurations; suitable for virtual reality (VR), film, concert recordings, and other scenarios.	Supported only for X6, X5, and X4 Air *Requires the camera recording mode to be set to 360 Audio.

Audio Recording

[For X6, X5, X4 Air, X4, and X3] If high-definition or high-fidelity audio recording is required (e.g., for band recording or capturing ambient sound), which audio mode is recommended?

For scenarios requiring high-definition recording and high sound fidelity, we recommend using the Stereo Mode.

[For X2 only] Which audio mode is recommended for underwater use?

We recommend using the 360 Direction Focus Mode, but the sound optimization effect in underwater environments may not be significant.

[For X2 only] When recording while motorcycling, is it possible to reduce wind noise while retaining the sound of the engine?

This effect is currently not achievable. You can use wind noise reduction accessories (such as a Windshield) to improve audio recording quality. When installing such an accessory, ensure it does not block the lens, as this may affect the clarity of the footage.
