Software & Firmware Archives

New Features

• Support for Dante Domain Manager
• Support for Dante Device Lock
• Support for AES67

Improvements

• For enhanced security, first-time user interface access will prompt the user to set up a passphrase. Users have the option of continuing without a passphrase, allowing for Shure Designer configuration software to securely configure the device within a location.
  • Passphrase length must be at least 8 characters up to a maximum of 64, all characters allowed
  • 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.

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

Improvements

• Implementation of additional security features, including expanded password capabilities
• MXW devices now advertise Dante/AES67 capability in the Shure Web Device Discovery Application
• New Device Reboot button added to the MXWANI Web UI.
• Improvements to the microphones’ out-of-range detection capabilities when moved outside the wireless coverage area of the MXWAPT.

Japan-specific improvements:

• J-DECT update: Microflex Wireless now features up to 96 channels in HD mode to meet J-DECT requirements, adding additional channels (dependent on modes and interference) as well as an improved handling of PHS presence.

In areas with no PHS interference, the new maximum channel capacity is: 

However, when PHS interference is present, the maximum number of channels changes to:

Important Note: For customers in Japan that have an existing MXW installation, a unique, one-off update procedure must be performed to take advantage of these additional microphone channels. Without this procedure, the other improvements mentioned above will still take effect but without the J-DECT update. This procedure needs to be conducted onsite by Shure personnel — please contact your local Shure representative for details.

Bug Fixes
