New Features

• Call Status support – Changes the microphones LED state to notify the user when the room is in a call (off hook-LEDs on) or out of a call (on hook-LEDs off). This feature requires Logic and Call status enabled and connection to a supported USB codec. This setting is disabled by default.
• Device Type – Informs USB-connected codecs that the ANIUSB has AEC (acoustic echo cancellation) in the signal path. The user or codec* can then enable or disable the AEC on the codec.
  *Codec must support AEC disable for ANIUSB or have manual disable.
  • Speakerphone: Use for microphones without DSP (MXA310), or when the codec handles DSP.
  • Echo-canceling speakerphone: Use when microphones have IntelliMix DSP with AEC enabled (MXA710 or MXA910) or when the codec DSP is not needed.
  • Designer’s Optimize workflow chooses the correct setting for USB device type
  • USB device type changes take 3-4 seconds and audio drops out briefly. Do not change other settings while this takes effect.

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

Known Issues

• There is the potential for a loss of audio after a power cycle when using Static IP setting: Un-checking and re-checking the Dante connections is necessary to reestablish audio between devices. An Alternative fix is to use DHCP addressing.
