Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where a device locked via Dante Controller or DDM could be selected for update. Devices must be unlocked to perform a firmware update.

Known Issues

• In some cases, SUU fails to launch after installation on macOS Ventura.
  • Workaround: Navigate to System Settings -> Privacy and Security, scroll down to SUU notification, click on Open Anyway, and enter the password.
• Shure Update Utility will fail to discover on first connection an ADX5D on Apple Silicon Macs running Big Sur.
  • Workaround: Restart your Mac computer and ADX5D will successfully be discovered.
• ULX-D devices running versions prior to 1.4.8 must be updated to 1.4.8 first before updating to 2.0.28. After 2.0.28 is installed, ULX-D devices can be updated to the latest available firmware version.  See ULX-D Firmware Update and Issues
• ULX-D devices that are downgrading to 1.5.6 may report a false failure.
  • Workaround: Because this is a false failure, closing the send updates window and going to the main page, Shure Update Utility will show green for the firmware version.
• Microflex Wireless devices running versions prior to 5.2.2 must be updated to 5.2.2 first before updating to a later firmware version.
• Shure Update Utility may have unexpected behavior if the firmware files are in a directory location that contains Unicode characters.
• In certain scenarios, the Shure Update Utility process is not terminated immediately on a Windows machine if you close the window while an update is in progress.

Important

• In most cases, you should install the latest version of Shure Update Utility to update your devices. However, certain legacy devices require older versions of SUU:
  • Use Shure Update Utility 2.4.8 to update firmware on GLX-D, UHF-R, SHA900, and KSE1500 systems or for 32-bit support.
  • Use Shure Update Utility 2.4.1 to update firmware on PSM1000 systems running firmware 1.1.0 or earlier.
  • Use the MXC Firmware installer to update MXC products, including DIS-CCU.
  • Use the DFR22 Software and a PC running Windows 8.1 or earlier to update a DFR22.
  • Update MOTIV and AONIC devices with their mobile or desktop apps.
• Note: Installing SUU 2.4.8 or SUU 2.4.1 will replace the most recent version of SUU on your machine.

Known Issues
