Custom Control Release Notes
V1.4.1
Qu-16 Digital Mixer Versatile Rack
Refer to www.allen-heath.com for instructions on how to update the
Avantis firmware and important notes about the update.
We recommend that any Config created with V1.2.4 is re-saved with V1.2.5 or higher and re-uploaded to the unit/s.
Check that the firmware version of the host unit supports multi-unit Configs. For example, AHM V1.30 or higher.
Due to security improvements, AHM processors with firmware V1.30 or higher will only connect to Custom Control app V1.3.0 or higher. Earlier versions of Custom Control (e.g. V1.2.6) will not connect, displaying an incorrect username / password error. Please ensure you update your Custom Control devices at the same time as / prior to updating the AHM processor.
