Firmware update process
In order to always have the latest firmware on the signal processor, you should carry out a firmware update
regularly. The update can only be carried out with a PC. Please always download the latest DSP control software
from the PL-Audio homepage and install it on your computer.
This application contains 2x the firmware uploader.
Once in the network manager for a complete new installation and in the control window under the menu item
Hardware → Firmware Update
Important: Please note that with a firmware update all presets saved on the flash memory of the DSP will be
lost. It is therefore essential to save these presets on your computer BEFORE an update!
For the firmware update you should preferably use the network interface on the DSP, since the bootloader of the
network chip is updated at the same time.
Attention: There are exceptions where an update via network is not possible. In this case, please use the USB
port on the DSP.
To check whether your controller can receive an update via the network port, you must first check the hardware
version on the display. To do this, press the MENU button four times on the display and press the encoder wheel
twice.
The display now shows: Version Info / HW: 3.6.x
HW: 3.6.4 = update ONLY possible via USB port
HW: 3.6.5 = update via network & USB possible
HW: 3.6.6 = update via network & USB possible
