Since announcing improvements to the acoustic performance and audio quality of the Shure Stem Ecosystem with firmware v2.5, Shure has released three additional updates.
Among the updates, Stem’s new Link-Local functionality now enables audio devices to work on an isolated network without a DHCP server. IT professionals and integrators also benefit from expanded customisation features and can support teams and customers with API for third-party control, enabling the flexibility to remotely monitor room and device status with control over volume and mute functions.
Notably, Stem now also features updated Mute Sync functionality with leading codecs, including Microsoft Teams, improving the customer meeting experience and collaboration capabilities.
Firmware v2.6 adds Stem Speaker, updated device icons, and a new view to RoomDesign, while the new view displays loudspeaker coverage for all devices selected in RoomDesign. Additional RoomDesign updates include improved firmware upgrade through HTML on the Organisation Settings window, improved Network Device Discovery on large corporate networks, a fix for devices experiencing an inability to factory reset.
Firmware v2.7 also introduces Link-Local IP address functionality, enabling Stem audio devices to work on an isolated network without a DHCP server. Additionally, v2.7 adds level and mute controls on the SIP Dialer screen.
Firmware v2.8 brings enabling of API for third-party control for control of volume and mute as well as remote monitoring of room status, device status, and the ability to query the system for room name, device serial number, and call status. Improved Mute Sync functionality with leading codecs, including Microsoft Teams, now enables a more seamless meeting experience.
Further enhancements include added support for time zone +5:30 for India and other countries, improved Stem Speaker sound by re-tuning the crossover and better balancing the playback level of the woofer and tweeter and a fixed issue with the Heatmap toggle.
Stem Control now hides the clock when internet is not connected while Stem Ceiling has been re-tuned to improve sound quality and address artifacts. With auto-updates enabled by default, all Stem devices connected to a network with internet access and on default settings will update automatically overnight.
‘Our most recent firmware updates further enhance Stem’s acoustic performance and make the installation process more seamless,’ says Luis Guerra, Associate Director of Global Product Management for the Stem Ecosystem. ‘We are pleased with how these updates have already improved our customers’ experiences with Stem.’
