New Features

Advanced Zone Management: An enhancement to the Zones feature the allows users be more deliberate about zone relationships, which can be configured to respect channel-to-channel or channel-to-intermodulation spacing.

• Consider using zones when you need more frequencies than the Wireless Workbench calculator is able to find and when you are working with a venue that contains multiple separate spaces.
• Zones change the way Wireless Workbench calculates and analyzes frequencies and should not be used purely for the organizational purposes. To keep frequenices organized, use Tags.

Online TV Channel Database Search (U.S. only): Added support for online searches of TV stations through an FCC-approved database provided by KeyBridge Global.

Improvements

• Added support for macOS Mojave (10.14)

• The Properties Panel for AD4 receivers now shows Mic/Line and Ground/Lift status for redundant outputs when the device is in FD-C or Quadversity Mode.
• The Properties Panel for AD4Q no longer shows the wrong Dante Channel Name while in Quadversity Mode.
• The Properties Panel for QLXD now correctly shows the Transmitter Mute alert in its Channel Strip when used with ULXD1 and ULXD2 transmitters.
• The values for certain properties of SBC220 and SBC240 are now remembered in their Properties Panel when ganged devices go offline.
• Properties Pnael for SBC240 now allows access to Device Settings when the maximum number of ganged units has been exceeded.
• Alert text is now removed from certain charger Properties Panels when the alert is no longer active.
• Low Battery Bar alerts are now cleared from the Hardware Alerts dialog after disabling them in Preferences in one scenario.
• Dragging and dropping channel rows from the Device Chooser in the Monitor tab now creates Mini-Timelines in addition to Channel Strips.

• 600 MHz Conversion Utility no longer fails to convert transmitters on MacOS in one scenario.
• Channel Strips now retain the selected Receiver/Transmitter Controls page in saved Show Files.

Known Issues

• ULX-D receivers running firmware version 2.0.28 or earlier may trigger a Settings Conflict when rediscovered after updating their firmware to version 2.1 or later. There is no issue with the device – there was simply a new property added in version 2.1. To dismiss the alert, resolve the Settings Conflict by selecting the properties you wish to keep.
• Certain bodypack portables are not compatible with SBC220 (P3RA, P9HW, and UR5), in that the charging status and other attributes cannot be remotely monitored from WWB. These bodypack portables will still be charged when using SBC220, but viewing the charge percentage or other attributes of those batteries will not be available from WWB.
• Audio Summing reported from ULX-D receivers reports an Audio Overload on all channels instead of on the specific channel(s) experiencing the overload.
• Timeline System Events displayed when using the Axient Digital FD-Override (in FD-S, selecting to Lock to Rx 1/2/Auto Switch) do not get displayed on both FD channels.
• Alerts logged when devices first come online may list device parameters and their values as they are being discovered even though the parameter values themselves have not changed.
• SLX and ULX frequencies in Master List mode cannot be manually entered in the Coordination Workspace. They can, however, be coordinated and analyzed.
• On Windows, certain components of a channel strip may be hidden from view when the computer's display scaling is not set to the default value. As a workaround: close the application, right-click on the application executable, select the Compatibility tab, select the Override high DPI scaling behavior checkbox, and choose System (Enhanced) in the Scaling performed by dropdown. This will prevent the application display from scaling higher or lower, but it will ensure that the Channel Strip is entirely visible.

Notes

• To operate Wireless Workbench successfully, you must run it as an administrator. (Consult your IT department if you have questions.)
• Opening show files created with older versions of Wireless Workbench may result in the Settings Conflicts dialog opening once the file has loaded. This is due to newly supported hardware parameters that have been introduced with updated firmware versions. To maintain all settings from the show file, select "Keep all settings from: Wireless Workbench."

Important

• This version is used to upgrade from all previous SW6000 versions, however it cannot be used to upgrade systems using CU 6005, CU 6010 or CU 6011 Central Units
• This version is compatible with SW6000 Software License file v1.7 only

UPDATE: Oct 15, 2019: Designer 3.2 supports P300 devices updated to version 3.1.8.

*****

IMPORTANT

• When upgrading Designer versions, the installer will prompt that the destination folder C:\Program Files\Shure\Shure\Shure Designer is not empty; please change the Shure Designer folder name (e.g. Shure Designer 3.1) or delete the existing Shure Designer 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 of the same version. For example, all new virtual MXA910s created in Designer 3.2 are on version 4.0.12; those virtual devices can only be associated with online devices that are also on firmware version 4.0.12.

IMPROVEMENTS

• Support for MXA910 firmware version 4.0.12 with IntelliMix® DSP
• Bug fixes

KNOWN ISSUES

• When using MXA910 4.0.12 firmware, the Sync Status between the virtual and online device will appear as ‘Not Synced.’
• If no NIC is selected, some features on virtual devices may not work as expected, e.g. deleting lobes from virtual MXA910s; select a NIC to fix the issue.
• When using Windows 7, no more than five windows can be open simultaneously.
• Templates that were created from a location will be empty when the project is exported and then imported. This does not affect locations that were not copied to templates.
• With more than 20 devices in location or 60 on the network, some actions will take longer due to increased network traffic.
• When pushing to many devices, the status may incorrectly show that the push failed. For most devices, if the Sync Status changes from ‘Not Synced’ to ‘Synced’, then the push was successful. However, with MXA910 version 4.0.12, the status will always say ‘Not Synced.’
• 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 working with virtual devices and presets, channel names do not revert to default values when “Restore Default Settings” is clicked, and location may take time to respond.
• In Coverage Map, changing the unit of measurement will not be saved for the location; the unit of measurement will default to feet when the location is reopened.                                          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.
• When changing an exported project file name and attempting to import the project file, an error message may appear although the project was successfully imported; switch tabs or close and re-open the app to view the project.

NOTES

• Internet access is required during the installation process

Recommendation

Update all MXA910 devices in a configuration to the same firmware version. Devices on version 4.0.12 cannot be downgraded to previous versions.

Improvements

• Incorporates IntelliMix® DSP including AEC, Noise Reduction, Automatic mixing, AGC, Compressor, Delay and EQ. IntelliMix® uses Shure’s patent-pending acoustic echo cancellation technology to deliver a single channel of auto-mixed, noise- and echo-free audio.
• Patent-pending Autofocus™ technology continually fine-tunes the position of each lobe in real time, for consistent sound when participants lean back in their chairs, or even stand up.

Known Issues

• 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 4.0 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).

KNOWN ISSUES

• Some users of iPhone 8 or iPhone X may experience silence or noisy artifacts on their recordings. iOS 11.3 includes a fix for this issue, so we strongly suggest that all users with either of these phones upgrade to the latest version of iOS.
• If the screen is locked while a MOTIV microphone is plugged in, the app may no longer be able to access it. To fix this issue, return to the home screen, force-close the app, then unplug and re-plug the microphone.
• Users of iPhone 8 who are running iOS 11.3 may experience crashes when playing back saved recordings from within the app.
• If you monitor your recordings with Bluetooth earphones, you may hear artifacts, such as noise, while monitoring. If this occurs, we recommend changing the sample rate of your recordings. Some products may produce artifacts at 44.1 kHz, while others may do so for 48 kHz recordings. Please keep in mind that even if you hear artifacts while monitoring, they will not be present in the recordings themselves.
