Software & Firmware Archives

New Device Support

• Added support for the new AD600 Axient® Digital Spectrum Manager
  • Updated and increased scan speed time
  • Newly designed Property Panel for AD600
  • Multi-antenna configuration
  • Ability to import Custom User Groups from AD600

Improvements

• The following issues were addressed in this update:
• Scans and Plots
  • Wireless Workbench was unable to save a scan when a device ID contained special characters.
  • After relaunching Wireless Workbench, a crash would intermittently happen after previously selecting all the devices to start scanning and then trying to stop the scan.
  • The “Scan Storage Limit Reached” dialog was not correctly displayed when a scan would be greater than the storage limit available.
  • Importing scan data from ADX5D showed the same color for all antennas.
  • Wireless Workbench would crash by loading a CWS file while a live scan is in progress.
• Device Management
  • .csv and .txt files were failing to import to Custom Groups.
  • Wireless Workbench would crash when a virtual AD4Q is dragged onto an online AD4Q for merging.
  • Wireless Workbench might crash when closing the “select from frequency list dialog” when a spectrum manager is online.
  • Custom Groups are now shareable with PSM1000 and other IEM devices.
• Monitoring
  • ADX5D would display power source, battery sled model, and serial number as blank after switching between wired power supply and battery sled.

Known Issues

• Wireless Workbench is limiting a continuous scan to 8 hours.
• Battery type may not persist between power cycles for SLX-D transmitters on firmware version 1.0.13. To resolve, you must set the battery type on the transmitter again.
• 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.
• The Timeline System Event “Active Transmitter Online” for ULXD6/8 transmitters does not always include Transmitter Device ID in the event description.
• SLX and ULX frequencies in Master List mode cannot be manually entered in the Coordination Workspace. They can, however, be coordinated and analyzed.
• While working in the RF Coordination or Frequency Plot, the scan data peaks change depending on horizontal zoom level.
• In certain scenarios, the Frequency List dialog is empty and the CFL is not imported from AXT600.
• While Timeline is running, markers will not display when changing FD-Override from the current state to a new state.

Notes

• User Guide
• Supported operating systems
  • Windows 10 and 11
  • macOS 10.15 (Catalina), 11 (Big Sur), 12 (Monterey)
• To operate Wireless Workbench successfully, you must run it as an administrator. This includes when updating from within the application using Wireless Workbench version 6.13.1 or prior. Consult your IT department if you have questions about enabling administrator permissions on your computer.
• 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."
• 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.
• The ability to request replacement frequency band labels through the Frequency Band Conversion Tool and Report has been discontinued. The band conversion function is still available for use. For more information, please refer to the WWB Help System in the application, or contact Shure Applications Engineering.

• When IP addresses are deleted from the remote devices list, the devices that have those IP addresses will still be discovered in the Update Devices tab.
  • Workaround: Restart Shure Update Utility

Important

• In most cases, you should install the latest version of Shure Update Utility to update your devices. However, certain legacy devices require older versions of SUU:

  • Workaround: Slow down drag and drop processes or manually key-in PEQ filter values
• On the Coverage page when a device is selected and the property panel is visible, "Valid range" dialog numbers change when user clicks the +/- buttons on device height

New Features and Improvements

• Added the capability to update IntelliMix Room through Designer Software’s firmware update feature.
• Added logic device type and EQ contour support for the MXA920 Ceiling Array Microphone.
• IntelliMix Room now supports Windows 11.
• Reduced the CPU consumption of the AI Denoiser feature.
• Reduced the CPU consumption of IntelliMix Room when the Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) and Noise Reduction (NR) features are disabled.
• Revised the system requirements needed to support IntelliMix Room.
• Improved the behavior of IntelliMix Room after a paid license has expired. After the grace period, there will be periodic visual and audible license expiration notifications to the user, rather than audio being muted.
• Added the ability to view the Network Interface Card (NIC) used for license verification within the IntelliMix Room licensing settings page.
• Improved the user experience to clarify which version of IntelliMix Room was preserved on the computer when canceling an upgrade and performing a “roll back”.
• Removed Network Throttling as an optional Windows optimization. Instead, Network Throttling is automatically disabled on computer startup. Network Throttling left “on” is known to cause audio performance issues in some scenarios.

Bug Fixes

• Resolved issues where many audio soundcards connected to the IntelliMix Room host computer could prevent discovery within Designer Software.
• Resolved issues where audio transmission could be delayed up to 5 minutes after PC restart when using Realtek PC Output devices with Kiosk-type devices.
• Resolved issues where mute synchronization between IntelliMix Room and the software codec could stop working if the computer was restarted via the removal of the power cable.

Known Issues

• Packet scanning security software may cause audio performance issues with IntelliMix Room.
• In order to transition from a trial license to a paid license before trial expiration, the IntelliMix Room endpoint must be deactivated and reactivated. Otherwise, the entire trial license term will be used before the paid license.
• When renewing a license, IntelliMix Room will use the 90-day grace period of the expired license before activating the new, renewed license. After the grace period ends, the new license will automatically activate and the expiration message in the user interface will disappear.
• The USB Mute Synchronization and Call Status features do not properly reflect LED statuses when joining third-party meetings from Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) devices.
• In scenarios where many NICs are connected to the IntelliMix Room host computer, IntelliMix Room may not be discoverable in Designer software. Remove or disable some of the NICs to enable discovery in Designer software.
• In scenarios where many audio soundcards are connected to the IntelliMix Room host computer, some of the connected devices may be truncated from PC Input or Output list views within Designer Software. Shure recommends removing or disabling the unneeded audio soundcards.
• Changing the System Name of the host computer after installation of IntelliMix Room also changes the Dante Device name in Dante Controller. The Shure device name stays the same. Changing the Dante Device name can impact audio routes to Dante receive devices.
• Ensure that the system/device name of the computer running IntelliMix Room is unique and follows Microsoft’s recommendation of 15 characters or less. IntelliMix Room relies on this unique name for proper Shure and Dante network operation.
• Allowing a system running IntelliMix Room to enter a sleep state can cause issues with IntelliMix Room’s logic and mute synchronization functionality. A restart of the computer resolves the issue.
• In some scenarios when using Dante Domain Manager with Shure devices, IntelliMix Room may appear as “Dante Locked” regardless of the device permissions set in Dante Domain Manager. In this state, IntelliMix Room networked audio settings cannot be customized. To resolve this, unenroll and reenroll IntelliMix Room within Dante Domain Manager.
