Expanding control for networked wireless audio systems, Shure announced the forthcoming release of Wireless Workbench 6.11, which will be available for download at www.shure.eu/support_download/downloads/software-drivers. This latest version includes several new features to help manage every facet of wireless system performance over the network, from pre-show planning to live performance monitoring.
To improve workflow efficiency, Wireless Workbench 6.11 includes inventory batch edits, enabling parameters to be modified for a group of devices or channels at the same time. Users benefit from quick and easy configuration of naming, color-coding, and other parameters for multiple channels.
The Coordination Workspace enables frequency calculations for subsets of wireless inventory before deployment. These coordinations can be saved and recalled for different locations or even specific events within a production. A ranked list of compatible frequencies can be manually assigned to desired channels from this workspace as well.
An improved monitoring interface displays all channels with a common channel strip layout. Channel strips can be customized using the Channel Strip Designer and arranged into various layouts. Multiple channel strip arrangements can be stored in views and used to monitor a customized group of channels.
“Wireless Workbench 6 has been an absolute game changer since its launch. The importance of setup calculations and control of wireless systems via software is getting more and more relevant for today´s wireless systems,’ says Ron Hautzinger, Product Manager Pro Audio and Retail at Shure Europe. “The implementation of the enhanced feature sets in our 6.11 release is one big step forward and makes workflows more efficient by reducing preparation time and simplifying control of active channels.’
Wireless Workbench 6.11 is compatible with the Shure Axient Wireless Management Network, UHF-R Wireless Systems, ULX-D and QLX-D Digital Wireless Systems, and PSM 1000 Personal Monitoring Systems. The new version will be available for download at www.shure.eu/support_download/downloads/software-drivers by the end of April. Wireless Workbench 6.11 is supported on Windows 7 and 8 as well as Mac OS 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, and 10.10.
