HEADSPEAKER – 5.1 HEADPHONE SYSTEM
4.5 Up d ating Firm w are
HeaDSPeaker supports software-based firmware updates using the diagnostic
application. For this purpose, you will need a firmware image file. Image files are
identified with the extension hid, for example ”headspeaker091-8chan.hid”.
The standard installation package may contain two distinct firmwares for 6 and 8-
channel operation. Additionally, freely downloadable firmware upgrades may become
available at the manufacturer's website.
There are two ways to initiate the update:
• Drag and drop: ”drag” firmware image file using the mouse and ”drop” it inside the
diagnostic application's main window. A confirmation dialog will pop-up, click OK to
begin the updating process.
• Right-click anywhere inside the diagnostic application's main window and select
firmware update from the pop-up menu. An open-file dialog will show up, which can be
used to locate the desired firmware image file.
Important: do NOT disconnect the DSP unit from the computer until the diagnostic
application has finished re-programming the device. Disconnecting during the
programming process can potentionally cause damage.
