7.0 FIRMWARE UPDATES 

 

7.1 QT-AD10 FIRMWARE 

Firmware is embedded software in each component that controls functionality. Periodically, new versions of firmware are 

developed to incorporate additional features and enhancements. To take advantage of design improvements, you can 

download and install new versions of the firmware from the Q5X websit

www.Q5X.com/support

 

 

7.2 VERSIONING 

When performing an update, first download firmware to the receiver, and then update transmitters to the same firmware 

version to ensure consistent operation. Shure Axient Digital receiver firmware can be updated using the Shure Update 

Utility. The Shure Update Utility is available for download from 

http://www.shure.com/

 The firmware numbering for 

Shure devices uses the following format: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (e.g., 1.2.14). At a minimum, all devices on the network 

(including transmitters), must have the same MAJOR and MINOR firmware version numbers (e.g., 1.2.x). 
 

7.3 UPDATING THE TRANSMITTER 

1.

 

Download the firmware to the receiver. 

2.

 

Access the following menu from the receiver: Device Configuration

 > 

Tx Firmware Update. 

3.

 

Ensure that the QT-AD10 transmitter is I the ON mode (not Standby). Align the IR ports between the transmitter 

and the receiver. IR ports must be aligned for the entire download, which can take 50 seconds or longer.  Tip: The 

red alignment LED will turn on when the alignment is correct. 

4.

 

Press ENTER on the receiver to begin the download to the transmitter. The receiver will display the progress of 

the update as a percentage.
