Hello all
We're back once again with an updated beta firmware process and a new version of the firmware!
A quick disclaimer before we begin: This is a beta build of the Penrose firmware, which if installed may result in some instability or loss of function. We here at Audeze will do our very best to help should anything occur, but you understand that by installing this beta you accept the accompanied risks. This beta test is intended for USA based customers only and those outside of the USA update at their own risk.
To avoid some of the difficulties of the last beta test experiment, our software team has developed a special version of the Audeze HQ app that will allow for a more streamlined update process. This update will also allow you to revert changes if the beta firmware does not work out.
To start, you'll need to download this new version of HQ and install it. You can find that software here:
PC:
https://drive.google.com/...QzNFE6X_/view?usp=sharing
Mac:

Before you begin updating, make sure you back up any EQ profiles you've created as they will be lost when the firmware is updated.
Once installed, plug in your Penrose via USB and unplug the dongle. Open the software and navigate to the "settings" tab of the Penrose profile.
From there, click the "version number" 5 times to open a secret dialogue box.
Load in the .xml file that came with the package above and click the "update firmware" button to begin the update process.
This firmware makes a few changes and adds a lot of new functionality:
- Makes several improvements to the mic quality and clarity over wireless.
- Adds an on-the-fly sidetone on/off functionality to the headphones by pressing in and holding the mic wheel for ~3 seconds.
- Adds an on-the-fly EQ preset toggle that will cycle through the 5 presets in memory by holding in the volume wheel for ~3 seconds.
- Fixes AAC support for Bluetooth.
- Adds a volume mix function for simultaneous BT/wireless connections. This can be used to adjust the relative levels on the fly while in Bluetooth mode by performing a "click and scroll" of the headphone volume wheel (click in once and then scroll up or down to your preferred mix).
Version 1.8 should be relatively stable and there are no known bugs at this time (that's why we need you all!) No voice cues yet for the new functionalities (sidetone on/off, EQ presets) but those will be included before the final public build.
Once you've been able to give the new firmware a test, we ask that you reply to a short survey here: https://forms.gle/AFt7PCuNQpT3zgus6
If you have any more specific questions or other feedback that is not covered on the survey, or have any trouble or need help with the new features you can reply directly to this email as well. Thank you very much for your help, and happy listening!
