I have just downloaded M's new configuration software v3.07 build 3478 this morning. DSW and DSP3300 are there. I haven't had the chance to see what else is new but thought I would let everyone know in case they hadn't seen it yet. M's website is still the same but new programs download from the config program's check for updates.

Regards,

Wayne

Thanks Wayne,

I've just checked it out.

New Versions:
Configuration Program
Control Window
Flash Upload Program


As expect there is no change to Legacy Configuration Program.

Regards,
Carl

For those using the +3dB tweak it appears this loop hole has been closed in the latest version of config prog.

Good spot. That would appear to be the case. I expect it is sensible to protect from overdoing it with the new firmware which sets 0dB properly where it can. You wouldn't want 2x 3dB I guess.

I agree if you're planning to have the new firmware update applied. If not keep a copy of Config 3.07 Build 3440 if you don't wish to upgrade FW and retain the +3dB tweak.

Until there's more feedback on the result of FW update I wish to keep all options open.

What does the optional height channels do with a 861v6?
You need to install an OA18 and set that to height (jumper set to 7) which is not documented in the OA18 manual.
Is that for 2+2+2 setting only ?

For me, the Trifield Width fix and apodizing filter update for the G68 processor, and the updates to the DSP5500 speakers, are early Christmas presents. Well done Meridian. Now about installation...

Just read the firmware release notes.

Quite a lot in there for the G61 compared to the G61R and G68.

Curious that there's less in the 861v4/v6 notes, but I assume that for v4 owners who are now on common firmware with the v6 that things like Trifield and Apodising aren't mentioned because they are already present in the v6? I look forward to finding out anyway!

Exciting times!

Cheers

George

Release notes for DSP5000's...

Quote
Software Fixes - Useful - May be useful to upgrade but not essential
Aux legend becomes SLS and VCR3 legend becomes Aux
Aux/SLS source defaults to 4C comms type
Optional support for M80 remote
Power amps not muted in standby
What does 'Power amps not muted in standby' mean and any implications for power consumption in standby. Is this like the DSP33 kludge of years back when an update to solve comms standby issue appeared to simply prevent DSP33's from going back in to standby.

I wonder what the "new firmware format" means with regard to the new version of the flash upload program ?

"Build 3478 (2011-11-03)

New Features

New firmware format, MFQ.
Added IDs for DSP3300 and DSW."

Can any dealer clarify with M if it's possible to role back to the previous version FW if the customer doesn't like the result of the new FW ?
