Software & Firmware Archives

New Features

• Support for Dante Domain Manager
• Support for Dante Device Lock
• Support for AES67
• USB Mute Sync
• Logic Mute
• Component user interfaces (web UIs) for the P300 and ANIUSB-MATRIX will be feature-reduced to support basic troubleshooting of network and device settings only. Designer version 3.2 will remain available for download to support legacy 3.1.x and 4.0.12 devices. 
  
  NOTE: Please ensure that field technicians and anyone providing in-field support on these devices downloads and installs the latest version of Designer. Device configuration and optimization capabilities will be minimal without Designer.

Improvements

• New TPCI commands
• For enhanced security, first-time user interface access will prompt the user to set up a passphrase. Users have the option of continuing without a passphrase, allowing for Shure Designer configuration software to securely configure the device within a location.
  • Passphrase length must be at least 8 characters up to a maximum of 64, all characters allowed
  • The passphrase may be disabled after the first login
  • Downgrade caution:
    • After the 4.1.37 upgrade, the device’s new passphrase (and/or its audio encryption passphrase) might exceed the allowed length of its prior firmware version. In that case, downgrading requires the following procedure to ensure passphrase compatibility:
      • Prior to downgrading, log in and disable the passphrase(s) or the change the passphrase(s) to the character length allowed by the prior firmware to be downgraded to.
      • Perform the firmware downgrade. Enable passphrase(s) as desired.
  • Using Designer software:
• When multiple devices at different firmware levels are put into a location using Shure Designer software, the location passphrase for those devices must abide by the length and character set limitations of the older firmware. Advice: Update all devices in the location to the latest firmware in order to use a more robust passphrase.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where there was the potential for a loss of audio after a power cycle when using Static IP setting.
• Additional bug fixes

Known Issues

• TCPI set 0 for input level switch also incorrectly changes the output level switch and vice versa.
• When exporting Presets using Safari on a Mac OS, the file type is saved incorrectly and must be renamed to .json to be imported.
• When attempting to load the device’s web page after using SUU to upgrade or downgrade between MXA 3.1 and earlier releases, the browser may appear to be stuck on the “Loading” screen with the progress bar continually moving. This will typically happen if two upgrades or downgrades are performed within a one-hour period. To correct this, hold your Shift key and click the Refresh button in your browser (or press Ctrl+Shift+R [Win]/Ctrl+F5 [Win]/Cmd+Shift+R [Mac]; note the keyboard shortcut doesn't work on Safari).

    • After the 4.1.37 upgrade, the device’s new passphrase (and/or its audio encryption passphrase) might exceed the allowed length of its prior firmware version. In that case, downgrading requires the following procedure to ensure passphrase compatibility:
      • Prior to downgrading, log in and disable the passphrase(s) or the change the passphrase(s) to the character length allowed by the prior firmware to be downgraded to.
      • Perform the firmware downgrade. Enable passphrase(s) as desired.
  • Using Designer software:
• When multiple devices at different firmware levels are put into a location using Shure Designer software, the location passphrase for those devices must abide by the length and character set limitations of the older firmware. Advice: Update all devices in the location to the latest firmware in order to use a more robust passphrase.

Known Issue

• Shure Audio Encryption is not backwards compatible; all devices must be on version 4.1 firmware to use this feature

Important

• When upgrading Designer versions, the installer may prompt that the destination folder is not empty; please change the folder name or delete the existing folder and it will automatically be re-created during the upgrade.
• In order to push from virtual devices to online devices, or vice versa, the virtual device and online version must be running the same version. For example, all new virtual devices created in Designer 4.1 are on version 4.1.X; those virtual devices can only be associated with online devices that are also on version 4.1.X.
• Designer 4.1 is not backwards compatible with Designer 3.2. The database will not be maintained upon downgrading, and Designer 4.1 files cannot be imported into version 3.2.

Improvements

• Support for IntelliMix® Room Audio Processing Software version 1.0
• Support for MXA910, MXA310, P300, and ANIUSB-MATRIX 4.1.X firmware
• Auto route feature added on the Signal Flow tab
• Multi-select added on P300 and IntelliMix Room schematic views
• Performance improvements
• Bug fixes
• For enhanced security, first-time browser user interface access will prompt the user to set up a passphrase. Users have the option of continuing without a passphrase, allowing for Shure Designer configuration software to securely configure multiple devices at once within a Designer location.
• Passphrase length must be at least eight characters, up to a maximum of 64, with all characters allowed
• Downgrade caution:
• After the 4.1.X upgrade, a device’s new Designer location passphrase (and/or its audio encryption passphrase) might exceed the allowed length of its prior firmware version. In that case, downgrading requires the following procedure to ensure passphrase compatibility:
• Prior to downgrading, disable the location and/or audio encryption passphrase or change the passphrase to the character length allowed by the prior firmware to be downgraded to.
• Perform the device firmware downgrade. Enable passphrase(s) as desired.

Known Issues

• When using Windows 7, no more than five windows can be open simultaneously.
• With more than 20 devices in location or 60 on the network, some actions will take longer due to increased network traffic.
• When deleting a virtual device, Designer will warn that encryption and password settings will be changed; however, the discovered devices’ encryption and password settings will not be affected.
• When importing a Designer preset file into the MXA910 web application, attempts to immediately export that file out of the web application will fail if it is not first loaded and saved to the MXA910.
• Pull and push operation may cause sync status to say “not synced,” although the operation was successful; close and reopen the location to fix this
• When soloing a channel on an MXA310, all channels will show as gated on
• When configuring a single MXA910, rotation of the device will only appear in Location > Coverage Map; go to the location to view the rotated device
• If experiencing issues changing the channel count of an IntelliMix Room instance within Designer Software, deactivate the IntelliMix Room instance first, then change the channel count and re-activate
• When using Shure Networked Audio Encryption for IntelliMix Room, you'll see a "key error" for channels without established Dante audio routes. This does not affect device performance and can be ignored.
• When one or more devices in a location are locked by Dante Domain Manager or Dante Device Lock, operations that affect Dante settings may be unreliable, such as audio routing, pushing virtual to online devices, or enabling audio encryption
• When using the P300’s Matrix Mixer on its Schematic tab, vertical scrolling won’t work correctly; navigate to the Matrix Mixer tab to see all channels.
• Attempts to save templates when devices have routes outside of a location will fail. Add all routed devices to a location to successfully save the template.
• Unsupported firmware may show an indication that the device is locked by Dante Domain Manager or Dante Device Lock. See the minimum supported firmware versions below.
