Allen & Heath dLive CDM32 Digital Mixer Firmware 1.82

Fixes:

- Maintenance Release

To update the firmware with a Surface connected:

1. Download the latest firmware and save the .zip file.
2. Remove any previous dLive firmware from your USB drive. To do this, look into the USB AllenHeath-dLive folder and delete the existing Firmware folder and also the Firmware.md5 file. Do not delete other files or folders.
3. Extract the .zip file to the root directory of your USB drive. Do not change the folder name or browse inside the Firmware folder as doing this may cause firmware corruption. Attempting to navigate or open files within this directory may cause your Operating System to leave behind small temporary system files which can invalidate your firmware.
4. Safely remove the USB drive from your computer.
5. Connect the dLive Surface to the dLive MixRack via gigaACE or Network. To do this, plug a Cat5 cable between one of the Surface gigaACE/Network ports and one of the MixRack gigaACE/Network ports.
6. Plug the USB drive into the dLive USB port, and touch Update in the Firmware page. The dLive will reboot to a ‘bootloader’ screen and if valid firmware is found on the USB drive then details of the current versions and versions found on the drive will be displayed.
7. Touch the Update button. Do not interrupt this process. Failure to complete the transfer may result in firmware corruption. Make sure the mains power and connecting cables are reliable and that the system will not be disturbed or switched off during the update.
8. When the firmware has been successfully installed, the system will automatically reboot.
9. Once the system is fully booted, recall a Template Show or User Show to restore your settings.

About DJ Mixers Updates:

Updating the mixer's firmware version can add support for newly developed features (or improve existing ones), enhance audio quality and transition effects, resolve different problems such as those regarding various noises heard in certain situations, and many other related improvements.

However, before downloading this package, go to the unit's system information and make sure that the currently installed firmware isn't either newer or matches this release. Moreover, you should know that an update failure might seriously damage the mixer's software, so it is vital that you are familiar with the installation steps.

As for applying this release, you must transfer the downloadable package (or its content) to the mixer via any available methods, and power up the unit through various key combinations in order to enter update mode (make sure you read the product's user guide).

This said, if you consider installing this release and you're positive you have all the knowledge you need for a successful upgrade, download the package, and apply it to your mixer. Check with our website constantly so that you don't miss any update that can improve your device.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
