Updating Firmware
Firmware is embedded software in each component that controls functionality. Periodically, new versions of firmware are devel
oped to incorporate additional features and enhancements. To take advantage of design improvements, you can upload and in
stall new versions of the firmware by using the Shure Update Utility, available on the
Firmware Versions
When performing an update, first download firmware to the receiver, and then update transmitters to the same firmware version
to ensure consistent operation.
The firmware numbering for Shure devices uses the following format: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (e.g., 1.2.14). At a minimum, all
devices on the network (including transmitters), must have the same MAJOR and MINOR firmware version numbers (e.g.,
1.2.x).
Updating the Transmitter
