Update Summary

Shure Designer 6.7.0 adds support for MXA320 and MXW neXt 2 devices, introduces MXW neXt Mic Identify support, updates the MXW neXt interface, and fixes camera-tracking and deployment issues.

Update Details

Security

  • Corrects inaccurate audio encryption status reporting for MXWAPX devices.

Bug Fixes

  • Factory-resetting an MXA920 follower no longer removes it from its camera-tracking group.
  • Improves camera-tracking behavior after removing a microphone, preventing invalid distance configurations and reporter changes.
  • Restores the deployment-success dialog when redeploying room design files to rooms with existing optimized camera-tracking groups.
  • Corrects inaccurate MXWAPX audio encryption status reporting.

New Features

  • Adds support for the MXA320 Table Array Microphone.
  • Adds support for the MXW neXt 2 MXWNDX2 Networked Charging Station.
  • Adds support for the MXW neXt Mic Identify feature.
  • Updates the MXW neXt web user interface to align with Designer.

Known Issues

  • Some devices may lose their active preset after upgrading from Designer 4.7.45.7 to 6.2.0.622; reapply the desired room preset.
  • Deploying 30–60 devices in one room may degrade performance or crash device-discovery processes; limit deployment to 30 devices.
  • Removing an MXA920 follower after Optimize Coverage may leave it affecting the camera-tracking group; run Optimize Coverage again.
  • Canceling MXA710 installation may add a virtual MXA710 to the design room; remove it manually.
  • MXA920-S coverage settings may revert to previous values when added to a new live room with automatic coverage; repeat the workflow.
  • Auto Route is disabled for rooms containing more than one MXWAPX device; route these rooms manually.
  • MXWAPX matrix mixer cross-point gains may persist incorrectly when switching from Presentation Mode to Conference Mode; verify and update gains manually.
  • MXA920 MAL follower settings may persist when moving the device to another room; remove all MXA920 devices from the existing room first.
  • Encryption indications may be incorrect in online devices and rooms; switch away from Routing and return to it to refresh the status.

Hints

  • Supported Windows platforms are Windows 10 or 11 Professional or Enterprise, 64-bit, using Intel or AMD x64 processors; ARM-based Windows is unsupported.
  • Supported macOS versions are Tahoe 26.1, Sequoia 15, and Sonoma 14.
  • Update device firmware with Shure Update Utility before using Designer, and verify compatibility versions for connected devices.
  • Designer 4.7.x project files must be exported as .dprj files and converted to .rdf room design files; Designer 3.x project conversion is unsupported.
  • Endpoint protection software may block installation; allow or whitelist the Designer installer or application if necessary.
  • Designer requires an IPv4 Ethernet connection for device discovery and operation.
  • Keep records of device passphrases for future reference.
