Software & Firmware Archives

Important

• ULXD4D and ULXD4Q receivers running firmware prior to 1.4.8 must be updated to 1.4.8 before updating to newer versions.
• ULXD4D and ULXD4Q receivers running firmware between 1.4.8 and 2.0.28 must be updated to 2.0.28 before updating to newer versions.
• After 2.0.28 is installed, ULXD4D and ULXD4Q receivers can be updated to the latest available firmware version.
• ULX-D devices that are downgrading to 1.5.6 may report a false failure.
  • Workaround: Because this is a false failure, closing the send updates window and going to the main page, Shure Update Utility will show green for the firmware version.

New Features

• 900MHz ISM Site Survey via Wireless Workbench (WWB) for X52, X53, and X54 frequency bands.
• WWB Site Survey (902 - 928 MHz) Utility, which utilizes ISM-band devices to capture long-term scans and generates processed scan data, tailored specifically for coordination in this spectrum. Access this utility by selecting TOOLS > SITE SURVEY (902 - 928 MHz).
  • This utility is designed to use an ISM-band Shure receiver to assess whether a particular venue is well suited for ISM-band operation of fixed frequency microphone systems.
  • This utility includes the “Usability Report”, which runs sample calculations and reports an approximate number of usable channels in the ISM band.
  • For more information, consult the Wireless Workbench 6 Help System in version 6.11.2 or later.

Improvements

• Added new frequency bands:
  • Americas (except Brazil): X52: 902-928 MHz
  • Brazil: X53: 902-907.5, 915-928 MHz
  • Australia: X54: 915-928 MHz

Notes

• Transmitters to be used with receivers must be updated via IR. After the receiver is updated, follow these steps:
  1. Go to the receiver menu: DEVICE UTILITIES > TX FW UPDATE
  2. Align the infrared ports with the transmitter
  3. Press ENTER.
• For operation of ULX-D devices with other Shure networked systems, see the following list of minimum firmware versions that are supported with ULX-D version 1.6.10:
  • QLX-D receiver 1.0.15

New Feature

• ULXD4, ULXD4D, and ULXD4Q receivers can now power two UA864 antennas in parallel per receiver input for a total of four antennas. To view an example of a similar setup, with different antennas, see the FAQ: Antenna Distribution – 2 Rooms, 4 Antennas, which also includes information on how to modify the UA221 passive antenna accessory.
