    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, new versions of the firmware can be uploaded and installed using the Shure Update Utility (SUU). Download the SUU from https://www.shure.com/ en-US/products/software/shure_update_utility.
  • Page 27: Updating The Transmitter Firmware

    The recommended best practice is that all devices are on an identical firmware version. To view the firmware version of each device on the network, go to Device Configuration > About. The format for Shure device firmware is MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.BUILD (example: 1.2.21.1). At a minimum, all devices on the same network must have identical MAJOR and MINOR firmware version numbers (example: 1.2.x.x).
