Firmware Release Notes

How to Update HD Firmware

HD Systems are field upgradable for the firmware portion of the Base Station and microphones. The firmware must be sent to both the Base station and microphone using the HD Control Panel program.

Note: If your Base Station and microphones have different firmware versions, they may not work together. Confirm that your Base Station and microphones are updated before use.

Updating the HD Single/Dual/Venue Base Station & Microphones
The HD Base Station firmware can be changed using the Revolabs HD Control Panel program. The same firmware file can be used for all Revolabs HDTM Products. Communication to the Base Station is done via USB to USB-mini connection, and communication to the microphones is done wirelessly through the base station.

PLEASE NOTE:  Please follow this guide step by step.  Doing the steps out of order, or jumping ahead may cause difficulties during the update process or cause the update to fail.
 
1. Download our HD Firmware by Clicking HERE  (Do NOT unzip the File!!)
2. Download HD Control Panel Software by Clicking HERE (Don’t Install the Software Yet!!  This is done in a later step.)   If you have a previous version of the HD Control Panel installed already you should uninstall this version and use the latest version (click the download link above) instead. 
3. Plug your HD Single/Dual or Venue Receiver into your PC with the USB to Mini-USB cable you received with it.  It must also be plugged in via its electrical power adaptor/cord as well.  Windows should recognize it as an unknown USB device.  This is okay.
4. Install the software you downloaded in step 2.  This will properly push the driver to your receiver unit.  You should see a command prompt window (looks like an MS-DOS window) that says Installing Driver.  This will confirm the driver is being installed properly.
5. Remove your microphones from the charger if they are charging, make sure any microphones you have are already paired up to HD Single/Dual or Venue Receiver.  Place the within RF range of the receiver.  Do not return them to the charger base or power the microphones off during the firmware update process itself once it has begun.
6. Launch the HD Control Panel Software
7. Click the Firmware Button.  Make sure the Base and Mic check boxes are checked.  Choose the Firmware .zip file you downloaded earlier. Click Start Update.
8. The Firmware Update should begin.  The software will say Base and Mic Firmware Update completed when the process finishes.
 

Note:   The HD Microphone firmware updates wirelessly during the firmware process as long as the microphones are out of the Charger Base, paired to the Base Station, and communicating with the Base Station.
