Firmware Updates

Firmware is embedded software in each component that controls functionality. Periodically, new versions of firmware are devel­
oped to incorporate additional features and enhancements.

Firmware Versioning

When updating receiver firmware, update transmitters to the same firmware version to ensure consistent operation.
The firmware version is numbered in the form of MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (e.g., 1.2.14). At a minimum, all devices on the net­
work (including transmitters), must have the same MAJOR and MINOR firmware version numbers (e.g., 1.2.x).

Downloading and Updating Firmware

A free Shure Update Utility tool is available by visiting www.shure.com. The Shure Update Utility is also bundled with Shure
Wireless Workbench software.
Refer to the help instructions to use the Shure Update Utility.
